@FavourEragbai
My system was showing the exact date and time and my exam was submitted when I didn’t write anything immediately I logged in it submitted on it's own.
@0xAlhaji
This information would have been most useful before the commencement of the exercise. what’s to be the fate of those who have already attempted prior to the release of this information?
@TemitopeMustap9
My registration was cancelled and I had completed and printed out my exam slip only to check now I was told I wasn't shortlisted.
@StarFavoured
Why didn't you people add this to the instructions given, some had to borrow laptop for this exam just to be on a safe side! We need fair treatment in this exam, justice for us because I really prepared for this exam like never before!
@HananColections
Automated by @HananXharah @CDCFIBNG And what of candidate that login and immediately submitted our exam without doing anything…without even doing any exams please.
@AdorableDidi
I was still writing mine and it submitted when I reached number 14 question. It didn’t allow me finish and I didn’t have any violations. I had prepared so much for this exams and the system glitch just messed it up for me. And I couldn’t even re-log in to finish my exams.
