ScholarUncle:
A lot of people have been shortlisted for the SNEPCO 2020/21 Scholarship and there are some Nairaland topics asking for past questions.
This thread is for people who have previously written the scholarship test to share their experience; those that passed the test and otherwise.
I believe this will help along with or without the pq. Tag anyone you know as well

Yeah.

I wrote SNEPCo test year. I don't know how the format of this year is gonna look like but last year, I had 50 questions to be answered in exactly 60mins. I had two sections, basically Mathematics and English and 25 questions from each section.

The Mathematics was pretty low standard and not some critical reasoning quantitative analysis stuff, it was basic maths including topics like Progression, Mean, median, mode, Percentage profit and loss, simple word problems, calculus and others I can't remember. We weren't told whether to use calculator or not but I made use of it then.

The English/Verbal wasn't quite easy for me though, It was pretty JAMB standard. I had questions from Verbal Analogies, Antonyms and synonyms (arrghh). There were like two comprehension passages also. can't really remember a lot.

The overall exam was easier than expected. Though, I didn't make it (I guess a lot of people passed and I didn't make the limited slot).

Last year, we weren't informed whether the exam was proctored or not, no one really knew whether they disqualified people based on usage of calculators or other activities but I think this year will be different as there are some rules that come with the exam.

Just make sure you have a perfectly working computer/laptop and follow all rules strictly and also try to take the exam early. Pray also, because the exam might end up being easy but well, it would then be easy for others too and you all are competing for a limited slot.

Good luck to everyone.

You're gonna be uploading it before you start the test, as a matter of fact, it's just part of the pretest, there are other tests too. Just have it on your system and upload it when you get to the stage you'll be asked for it that day.

I wish you the best.

Kaypols:

Omoolami100:


Please when you were shortlisted, did the mail contain the exam mode? Because the one I got said just verbal and numerical reasoning

neuroboy4:


Yes. In the mail, they specified the test would be Maths and English (which were written as numerical and verbal reasoning during the actual exam).

Next0:

For those that don't have ID card, I hope NIN Slip will suffice?

Olumide2001:
