Nigerian Army DSSC/SSC Test case studies
Nigerian Army DSSC/SSC Test · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Nigerian Army DSSC/SSC aptitude test is the written screening stage for graduates and other candidates seeking a Direct Short Service Commission or a Short Service Combatant commission. It is aimed at degree and HND holders, and in some cycles other qualified applicants, who want to enter officer training rather than the ranks. The test is not a single subject paper. Expect a mix of English and verbal reasoning, mathematics and quantitative reasoning, general knowledge and current affairs, Nigerian history, government and civics, military and defence studies, questions tied to your corps or professional specialty, and spatial, logical and abstract reasoning. The Nigerian Army DSSC/SSC Test case studies are 5 cases and about 2,903 words.
