@kau, i was sent an email for the invitation
ok, thanks.
You can try these hints below out for your halliburton test.Very helpful.
The APTITUDE TEST FORMAT.
HALLIBURTON is made up of different Departments (Product Service Lines) which are somehow independent of each other. This particular advert is from SPERRYSUN DRILLING PSL (DIRECTIONAL DRILLERS),
In this particular aptitude test, about 3 different PSL advertised together ( CEMENTING, PRODUCTION ENHANCEMENT AND COMPLETION which is my own PSL). Because of the combined nature of the test, unconfirmed hint suggests that the setting of the questions will be handled directly by HR. In some other instances the question may be set from the PSL involved.
Anyway the test was in 3 sections, maths, logic and English.
The questions in this post actually came out last year
For the mathematics section there are 35 questions in all. The questions are just like the GRE/GMAT mathematics format, The questions are multiple choice questions and are attached to this post
In the Logic section there were both verbal and mathematical logical questions.
Q which one is the odd one out in the following sequence 361, 800, 900, 1600?
A 800 simply because all others are complete squares i.e 19, 30 and 40 respectively
You could also be given a sequence of 3 or 4numbers and be asked to select next 2 numbers of the sequence among the given options.
I also remember a particular question where a square was divided into 16 equal parts having given numbers and (3 or 4) different unknown symbols representing different numbers. You will be given a formula for the sum of each ROW and COLUM and be told to find the numbers the symbols represent.
These are just the few of the questions there are other similar logical questions that came out. sample questions are are also attached to this post
The high point of the logic section is actually the verbal section which is in the format below:
Q 24 H _, _, D
A 24 HOURS IN A DAY
Q 26 L _, _, A
A 26 LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET
Q 7 D _, _, W
A 7 DAYS OF THE WEEK
A 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD
A 12 SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC
A 66 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
A 52 CARDS IN A PACK (WITHOUT JOKERS)
A 13 STRIPES IN THE UNITED STATE FLAG
A 18 HOLES ON A GOLF COURSE
A 39 BOOKS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT
A 5 TOES ON A FOOT
A 90 DEGREES IN A RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLE
A 3 BLIND MICE (SEE HOW THEY RUN)
A 32 IS THE TEMPERATURE IN DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT WHICH WATER
FREEZE
A 15 PLAYERS IN A RUGBY TEAM
A 3 WHEELS ON A TRICYLE
A 100 CENTS IN A RAND
A 11 PLAYERS IN A FOOTBALL (SOCCER) TEAM
A 12 MONTHS IN A YEAR
A 13 IS UNLUCKY FOR SOME
A 8 TENTACLES ON AN OCTOPUS
A 29 DAYS IN FEBRUARY IN A LEAP YEAR
A 27 BOOKS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
A 365 DAYS IN A YEAR
A 13 LOAVES IN A BAKERS DOZEN
A 52 WEEKS IN A YEAR
A 9 LIVES OF A CAT
A 60 MINUTES IN A HOUR
A 23 PAIRS OF CHROMOSOMES IN THE HUMAN BODY
A 64 SQUARES ON A CHESS BOARD
A 9 PROVINCES IN SOUTH AFRICA
A 6 BALLS TO AN OVER IN CRICKET
A 1000 YEARS IN A MILLENIUM
A 15 MEN ON A DEAD MANS CHEST
A 8 BITS MAKE A BYTE
The questions are about 35 in number. Although not all the questions typed above came out but quite a handful of these questions came out while some question that came out are not in the pool of questions typed above. I guess what happened is that after the test a group of guys working together in the same company put their heads together and came out with this package. These questions according to the test makers separated THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES FROM THE REST. I quite agree with them as by my own assessment this is the most difficult part of the exercise ‘cause it is pretty difficult trying to fathom out the answers to this puzzles under an ideal test situation.
The last section is the English section. It was made up of 10 questions. 5 were fill in the gap questions while the other five were sentence correction just like the maths they are not difficult questions and the time was quite sufficient.
Like I said earlier, the stuffs above came out in the last test, no one can tell exactly the format in which this coming test will follow. Prior to taking the test last year we anticipated MATHEMATIC, ENGLISH AND ADVANCE LEVEL PHYSICS questions which used to be the HES format in the past.
In view of this, I will suggest in addition to the information above we should all PREPARE WIDE.
I will also like to warn that NEGATIVE MARKING was equally used as a criteria in marking down candidates during the last test as such I will advice all not to engage in WIDE GUESSES but rather make only EDUCATED GUESSES (i.e screen out as many wrong options as possible before making a guess) when it is extremely necessary.

Here in Nigeria, it's either for OND/HND or fresh BEng grad.
Meanwhile, the completions position should be for BEng.
I checked on the Halliburton site and noticed the completion advert has been removed. Do you think it means it's no more available or what?
@ marmar do check your mail 4my reply and thanks
@ufoma77, the position is not for school cert holders o, its 4 BSC/E.ENG/BTECH/HND
@yinknas07, Congrats! does their invitation says anthing about tea fare for pple going to the port from Lag? or are u currently staying in PH?
@ Kau, U did a great job. one Love.
???
my annoyance is that i used my last chedar to process this application then.i am even burning more pepper hanging on,keeping vigil on ma inbox,yet i am yet to see anything.
to all those already invited,keep preparing cos this year something good must happen.
@yinknas07; Congrats man, I wish you the very best, I was also invited, if sharing is not an issue with you, I will appreciate it if you help out with materials/past questions if any. My e-mail is [email protected]
@kau; brother you are a great man, I still believe in the Nigerian concept and dream, we still have people who help without asking for favours in return. YOU ARE THE MAN
@marmar & @sammie77; I believe in both of you, that you have what it takes to put smiles on a lot of faces, "never miss an opportunity to do good, you never can tell how soon it will be too late to do good"
@layla; keep the hope alive, I do not think all the e-mails came at the same time. Even if eventually it isnt Operator Asst. Cementing 1, know fully well that God has something better in stock for you, NEVER MOVE AHEAD OF HIM

@Triple C i get the point, but wat i saw on their website coupled with the payment category they put their made me no to apply to Asst Cement Operator 1. The one that my degree was applicable for was the Entry Level COmpletions.. THis is always confirmed on the popup screen...
Also, they ve withdrawn that post.............. i still stand by wat i saw on their site... THere was no mention of Degree nor did they mention NYSC discharge...
Ufuoma77, have you heard anything about the entry level completion? It's no more on their website but my application is still in process.
In the meantime, a friend just told me Shell has started rejecting applicants.
I dont know what Haliburton is up to, it was clear on their site that Entry Level COmpletions was for graduates. I guess most ppl missed out on it. THey ve removed it, it has closed i blv. It is only a matter of time before we are called. Lets keep praying and believing....Quote:

thanks pple
Gudday every1,i was also invited 4 d apt test schedule 4 friday 16th,does any1 have more info regarding 2 their format of questions,will really appreciate it plssssssssss
@ufuoma 77...U are correct on your statement which kau backed up earlier, but my take in the whole process is that, it may have been so all this while, but it may also be about to change
A friend at halliburton confirmed that ZZ01 is a technician/technologists job, but that this recent pub was open for graduates, and since the corporate website has not been upgraded to reflect the need at hand, they had to insist people submit hard copies before a deadline
I believe it is worth the try, since they requested for it, lets give them what we've got
IT is very unfortunate that our graduates to longer hold relevance to this multi nationals, and also most of us ve lost our dignity all bcos of Unemployment. How Can a position originally available for technicians and technologists be made available to GRADUATES. So wat happens to the technicians now, their job is now being done by the desperate graduates......Quote:

GOd make our leaders see the imminent disaster looming for a country aiming at 20-20-20... God dey, since we are ardent believers in the FAITH
@ufuoma 77, I say a very big AMEN to that your kabash!
@ufuoma 77 amen my brother May God help us all in hands of the leaders than are keen and bent on destroying the future of the next Nigerians all becos of their selfish reasons, we must all look in oursleves and be prayerful for with God lies the road to salvation.
I wish u all the very best in lyfe.
