Topic: PTDF APPTITUDE TEST CANDIDATES-KNOW THESE

Nuthing stops us from preparing all round. I dont undastand this whole argument.

hey guys!i think sammy is right.it could be all round objective format of about 100 questions.visit ptdf website and see for urself.

best of luck all

please any one with past question on Petroleum Economics should send a copy to me at

I support tender10 thought....this is a different ball game. Try and prepare urself for all possible scenarios. I want to remind u all. If anyone has done Mobile test before? Its technical part consists of some technical questions with some multiple choice questions under each one of them. Don't be surprised to see what u don't expect because u think is not possible. I want to tell u that it'll be unfair to give all candidates of different backgrounds to do the same thing all through. More importantly, the purpose of people applying for different courses would be defeated. This is not a bank job test. Dont be surprised that when u get there and discover 'ur test' is customized...I know what I'm talking about. Customized based on ur choice of courses in ur form. Just keep u mind open, imagination is greater than knowledge. I wish u all all the best!

In my own opinion, I believe the test this year will be all objective questions. There would still be the first section which is based on current affairs while the other part would be the discipline test.

The discipline test would be divided into different sections and each candidate would be required to select the section that matches his/her intended course of study.

All questions would be objectives to ensure uniformity and fairness in the grading process.

Go to http://ptdf.cinfores.com/examinstructions.htm and see the nature of the test you will take. You can also use your user ID to do a demo exam on their website. That will give you a better idea of what to expect. There are 16 different exams.

OK ENOUGH OF THE ARGUEMENTS. This is a demo test. The exam will be just like mobil aptitude test. But i dThe only thing i dont know is how many questions we will answer
