Shell reimbursed everyone. The reimbursement differ based on distance to the location of test. The verbal reasoning is a TFC (TRUE, FALSE, CANNOT SAY) format. Just get your hands on questions and practise. Wish everyone the best.

@dynamo, what type of questions should i expect in the verbal and quant? And how many test sections in all?

True talk. No matter how fast you are, the spatial can't be finished. The numerical aspect was just hell cos it involves 3 various graphs for each question. How I wish I could lay my hands on samples of such questions with multiple graphs, it would make my preparation worthwhile.

@xandro101, I am so sorry my memory has eluded me on that (so many other things have taken uppermost hand). But I think I still that the question were around 30-40 but cant remember exactly how many minutes that were allotted for each section.
Pls, any other member in the house who still has a vivid memory of this should please respond.

@heleex, what type of questions were in the verbal and quant? How many sections in all? was calculator allowed?

@auguatinecu, the verbal was a True/False/Cannot say type. The numerical involves you tackling question by using informations presented graphically (charts, graphs and tables). Usually, you get 3 questions under each data. As per time, I'm sorry I have forgotten. Time went by extremely too fast!!!!

I already said it earlier that for the verbal, it's TFC format. There was no quant, I guess u are referring to numerical which I and some others had explained earlier. Last year, calculator was not allowed into the hall but each person was provided with one.

@dynamo, thanks, but what about the verbal? Is it just comprehension or does it include word comparison (opposite or similar words) and essay writing? And is it just quant, verbal and spatial (3 sections)?

Jst comprehension, quantitative n spatial
