And oh, did I mention practice? Yeah, dat too is important. I don't always do it but I know it helps from d few times I've done it. Gives u a general feel of what to expect, and can help u with yo speed and accuracy. Try to find out the kind of test and find practice materials here on NHJ or online like on www.shldirect.com. U'll do beta...
My simple trick is apart from preparing hard and praying even harder. I know I cannt finish all the questions so I aim at finishing half of the questions and make WISE guesses at the remaining questions. I make sure I answer all questions even if I have to guess, and I just don't guess any how. I try to eliminate the obviously wrong options before I take my guesses. And we all would have noticed from flourmills results that u have to score average in all the sections (verbal, arithmetic and abstract) . So if you score bellow average in any section you don't go thru. But really prayer is the KEY. But you must do your part. Simple.
A bro graduated since 2007, served 2008/2009 and since then no job. Please wot advice do you have for him. He seems to have given up. I can't leave him now eventhough i now carry the burden of searching jobs for him as well and as seriously as i do for myself. Do you think its too late for him as he believes. Over to you house.
Did not know wen i fell asleep from thinking..But waking up to all these advices, i feel like i can take any test right now even without preparing (very funny!)....But back to being serious,i really want to say a very big thanks to you all who have offered to give soothing words of one encouragement or the other as well as the million dollar advices offered...Right now, i feel refreshed,strengthened and loved..I have been able to identify my problems from ones listed out in the comments and will work seriously on dem..It's not like i have not been told all of these before buh i guess i needed to hear-or rather, read-these again..I pray all the rare chances dat have been blown won't hunt me forever...AMEN..THANKS EVERYONE...I LOVE YOU ALL.
sometime in june last year , I also sat for d kpmg test alongside 18 persons knowing fully well that was the Job i needed to kick-start what would be a successful career, but to my greatest astonishment, only 2 scaled through......One, a serving corper, and the other just finished nysc a day before the test. Yet I know am not dull. Chance and luck makes them al,l my brother. just believe in yourself for this is the basis upon which your future stands.

Reading through these encouraging words from u peeps has really enlightened my spirit.
Maxiprince thanks for voicing out because if u haven't , words like these wouldn't have show case and I know thousands of peeps reading this post will be encourage as well.
One thing I know for sure is this, WHAT WILL BE, WILL BE. I myself can't count the number of test have written but when God's time come, it will be as if someone is dreaming.
I remember last month going 4 interview in a telecom company, I must say if I rate myself, the score will be 0 percent but to my surprise I got a text to come for the next stage interview this last wed and the following next day I had the final stage interview. Now am waiting for my appointment letter which I know by God's grace he has done it.
The word FAIL mean First Attempt In Learning. Failure is not falling but an experience for greater heights.
My dear brother, your time will come and you will smile.
Stick to all the advices peeps have dropped so far.
Have a lovely weekend.
Winston Churchill said: "Success is the ability to go from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm". ...so no matter d amount of failures, we wont sit back and accept defeat, bcos no one here is a loser. So get back up and fight!
@maxyprince sorry bro, just as hollabak wrote u need to b smart to pass aptitude test, also u need to understand d various types of aptitude test such as gmat, gse and shl. Also speed and accuracy is always of essence. Plus for u to pass most aptitude test ur numerical/quantitative analysis shud b top notched bcause most peeps perform @ an average level in the verbal part, and if d test includes spatial/abstract scoring very high dere wud go a long way in aiding ur success. For example (not being proud) I wrote and passed PwC, UACN and ciuci's test dis year without answering all d questions but my accuracy in d numerical and spatial/abstract was a plus. So bro u need to practice and practice, go online write practice test and download materials on shldirect.com, practicetests.com ,physometrictest.com.... Keep practicing and u re gonna start spanking all d other test...don't worry bro I was also rejected by kpmg last year(2nd interview) but I'm aiming higher, that's d spirit.....all d best bro......YOLO
wow wow wow. Its funny but I feel refreshed dat i am nt alone in dis world of ''depression'' and there is d new feelin inside of me after readin all ur post dat we will make it one by one wen our time comes. Ever since i failed kpmg test, av nt bn myself cos i dnt like failin. But now am re-energised and hapi dat am nt alone and God has plans for us all. Thanx all.
