@BigHenry - After CV and photo uploads, Go to APPLY FOR JOBS and then choose the GT program. You would then be required to input your ID, Password and choose a Test location. That's your application sent ... Goodluck

@Jbpat.................there is no need to ask this question. Afterall, there is no crime in trial. I applied and had recieved a confirmation message from dragnet. I will leave everything to Jah to do the rest.

Start practising 4 GSE

@greatEng.......which one is GSE....throw more light pls.......we don make am finally

It comprises 3 sections in this particular order:

Verbal reasoning
Quantitative reasoning
Critical reasoning

The verbal reasoning part consists of 5 short passages. Each passage has 4 questions based on its contents. This part lasts for 17 minutes.

The quantitative reasoning part is similar in structure to the verbal part. It comprises 5 bar chart / pie chart / line graph / table. Each has 4 questions based on its contents. This part lasts for 17 minutes too.

The critical reasoning section lasts for 15 minutes and consists of 16 questions. Sample questions can be found on the GSE website.

Now to the tips- I have classified these into 2 categories namely: pre-test and during test tips

Pre-Test Tips

1. Prepare for the exam using computer-based materials i.e. COMPUTER ADAPTIVE PRACTICE TESTS. This is very important. Paper-based practice questions are not that effective. These materials could be software on CDs that can either play on the CD or installed as a program. I would recommend Arco Master the GMAT CD by Thomson Peterson. It comes with the textbook.

2. Polish up rusty math skills with suitable GMAT texts. This is because the quantitative reasoning questions are just secondary school mathematics/statistics!

3. Go to the examination hall with a calculator and a sheet of paper for they are useful for the quantitative section.
4. After all these, believe in yourself that you will pass well.

During-Test Tips

1. Don’t get stuck on a question. If you have no idea of the answer, leave it blank and move on to the next question by clicking on Next tab. You can’t afford to spend too much time on any problem. Remember you can always go back to the skipped questions provided your time is not up.
2. Guesswork is not advisable. DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU DO NOT KNOW AS THERE IS NEGATIVE MARKING. THE SCORING IS SUCH THAT THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ANSWERED INCORRECTLY IS SUBTRACTED FROM THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS CORRECTLY ANSWERED. The result is divided by the total number of questions in the particular section and then expressed as a percentage. The average of the percentage scores obtained in the 3 sections is the overall score.
3. Remain calm, cool and composed all through the duration of the test. Never panic.

Thanks for the info and God bless.

@jadebaba, nice details bruv, u deserve a medal. But one quick question plz, : is it a fact that they do negative marking? Are u entirely sure of dat! And to add 2 what he has said, for the verbal, note that you ld be asked to select two most correct options and not one.. Goodluck peeps, and remember dat its all about speed!

Please guys can one who is serving apply for the job? Cos i wl be rounding up early nxt yr, so just wanted to give a try!

thanks for the info bro. Pls What is the GSE website and wot do d questions under critical reasoning look like?

Just got a text from Dragnet (Cadbury) inviting me for a personality test which to be concluded by 8/11/2011. Best of luck 2 all of us.

Any idea what kinda questions they ask in the test??? I'm yet to receive a response.....

House, be on the alert. Dragnet has stated sending text messages inviting for personality assessment. I just got one and it stated that the assessment must be completed on or before 8tn Nov. I don't know if d invitation is in batches, so guys make sure your phone is always swithed on and you are in a good network reception area. The link to the assessment as sent to me is Recruitment Campaign - Login. Your login details: Your ID is the ID given when registering as well as your password. I've not done mine, so I may not be able to help with d format. One love. It is well.

there is no right or wrong answers in a personality questoinnaire. Just try to be honest about yourself and qualities throughout. Dont try to second-guess the examiner because the tests are designed to detect incoherent responses. Best of luck
