What You Need To Know About CRF Test
As the Aptitude Test days get nearer, our support lines have been inundated with multiple requests demanding to have more information regarding the upcoming Aptitude Tests. All registered applicants of the College Relief Fund are expected to note these for present and future purposes.
Note that there are aspects of the test and selection that we do not disclose to the public, this is to mitigate against applicants attempting to cheat the system.
Thereby, this post is to help answer most of the questions you may have.
ABOUT THE TEST:
The Aptitude Test for the College Relief Fund is an online test, accessible via most modern browsers with the proper accessibility permissions. We recommend Google Chrome or Firefox for Mobile.
The test is 20munites long and contains a total of 40 questions pulled from 4 of 5 test categories (Use of English, Quantitative Reasoning, Current affairs, General knowledge and the Naira & Sense Series).
The Aptitude Test is an e-proctored examination that utilizes various open-source and proprietary software to detect and punish cheaters.
1. USE OF CALCULATORS
The use of a Calculator is allowed. However, it must be a separate calculator, not an app on a phone.
2. LEAVING THE TEST SCREEN
Leaving the Test Screen is strictly prohibited. This may lead to Zero Scores.
To be more concise, here are actions that count as leaving a test screen:
On a Computer
• Moving the cursor outside the test window or screen (if utilizing multiple screens).
• Leaving the Test Tab on the browser.
• Having an overlayed application over the test screen, including OSK.
On a Mobile
• An incoming call counts as leaving the screen.
• Entering the Multi-App switcher
• Having an overlay app running over the screen, including Screenshot/Screen recorders, floating icons and music popups.
• Using night-mood / screen-protection apps that deem the mobile phone screen.
3. DEVICE ACCESS
The test screen uses some of your device hardware/software logs as part of monitoring. This may include the microphone, camera, location and other data points necessary for an e-proctored examination.
Your browser may request manual approval for additional access. Please ensure to click “Allow” or “Yes”. If your browser fails to gain access, the test may cancel with Zero Score or proceed with warnings depending on the instant circumstances.
4. MULTIPLE DEVICES DURING THE TEST
Please ensure you are alone during the test without access to multiple devices, or individuals with multiple devices. Note that searching for test answers online is prohibited.
5. TEST TIMING / SUBMISSION
The test is scheduled to automatically submit upon exhausting the allotted time. However, we strongly advise you to submit your test manually before that time. Depending on network conditions, your test time may show more than 20munites, this reflects the time of starting the test and the time until your browser connected back to the server to signify test completion and log submission. Too many activities indicative of malpractice will significantly increase the size of the logs to be uploaded along with your test answers.
6. TEST RESULTS
Ideally, test results should be immediate. However, we usually delay test results to enable us to carry out some preliminary checks on submitted answers and logs before publication.
ABOUT FINAL SELECTION
As has been started at the point of enrollment, the College Relief Fund does not guarantee a candidate will be selected at the end of the application process.
The final selection of candidates for the College Relief Fund will consider all information provided since Registration, Enrollment and Document Verification, combined with test results in a point-based system graded internally.
All information provided by candidates is thoroughly vetted by our network of Document Verifiers across the country. Discrepancies in details, including names on the portal, documents and bank accounts may disqualify candidates.
For this batch, there is no guaranteed cutoff mark. However, higher test scores play a role in improving the overall points of a candidate.
To mitigate against applicants attempting to cheat the system, the point system is only available to funding partners as part of our transparency and accountability commitment.
A list of candidates for disbursement will be announced online, with redacted details for privacy.

Thank you for this article. 👍
Thanks for these informations and Up goes the CRF.
Thanks so much for the article. Please what if I’m on the verge of finishing my test, a call entered my phone, can that also disqualify me?
Yes it can,just make sure you block your contacts from calling you.
Please I can’t login anymore. I misplaced my login details and all efforts to retrieve that proved abortive
Please I didn’t understand this part of the information dropped this morning..
“Using night-mood / screen-protection apps that deem the mobile phone screen”.
Please can anyone help clarify🙏
It means using of eye care mode that reduces your screen brightness isn’t allowed.
I’m not sure myself. But maybe they’re trying to say that during the test, things like battery saver, eye care etc, should be turned off.
Hello Courage,
Some phones come with built-in options like “Eye care” (i.e to further reduce the screen brightness so as not to cause or have any effect on the user when you’re exposed to your device for a long period of time. In other words, protection against “Blue light effects”.
Also there are some apps you can download from playstore or iOS e.g Video recorders etc, that when launched their icons can display over other apps (as floating apps)…
In summary, ANYTHING EXTERNAL should not be allowed to be active during the day of your CRF TEST.
I do hope you find this helpful. ENJOY !

How do one avoid the issue with an incoming call during the aptitude test
Before you begin the test, kindly put on your phone to DND @ charity amaka
You restrict incoming call from disrupting your connection, check your phone on how to restrict call from coming in
This is really helpful, thank you
Thanks for this piece of information.🙏
I chose my test date without uploading my document and ever since then I could not upload my documents.. I don’t know what to do.. urgent reply pls
Fully guided, I promise to abide by the Rule and Regulations. God bless CRF.
Please someone should help me
When is the date for the examination?
Check your dashboard
You’re supposed to have chosen your date.
Thank you so much for the information. I will try to avoid any distractions or calls of any kind while I’m on the test cus I noticed I usually have a reduced mark or the Time stops counting while taking the practice test whenever a call comes in.
Someone’s asked this in the comments already but I just want to emphasize: how does one go about avoiding phone calls during the test?
Thanks for the information though, but I really need an answer to the question.
i think it’s better to use a hotspot or ask someone to hotspot you with their phn…that way even if the prsn gets a call it wont affect ur TEST it will register as lost network but will continue after the call has been ended the only downside to this is the time that’s counting.
I think you should use a laptop.
Thank you CRF, this is very helpful.
Our hopes are HIGH!
Thanks CRF TEAM for this review.
I didn’t know about the things counted as “LEAVING THE TEST SCREEN” on device…
Will take note of it.
ENJOY !
Thanks for the article. What if there are incoming notifications such as from Youtube, Facebook, message or news that appear on the top side of the screen during the aptitude test, will this cause disqualification? How can they be controlled?
Thank u so much CRF.
U re indeed helping the students.
Please what if you don’t have a bank account and you’re using someone else’s account?
Thank you CRF,The Aptitude test practice questions are quite educating
Thanks for this article. What if there was an unexpected call, although the only solution is to turn on the airplane mode but won’t be possible coz we would use our data connection for the test.
Set your do not disturb to restrict all calls and notification then you put it on when you want to do the test
Thank you CRF for this. I actually didn’t know about this before. With the help of God I will abide by these rules now that I know them.
I received this very information but I really don’t know how to go about it, Dear Shadrach,
We wish to inform you of a Change to the CRF Aptitude Test Date.
Please visit the Dashboard via bit.ly/CRFHome for more info.
Thank you for selecting me❤️❤️❤️
Can’t we use a calculator
Calculator is allowed, but it must not be on the same gadget you’re using for your test.
You can only use an external calculator and not one inbuilt in your phone
You can but not the calculator on your phone because the rule is that you don’t switch apps while writing your test as that results in disqualification.
Thank you please when is the aptitude test coming up, and how can we check to make sure our credentials are properly uploaded?
Feels good being here.
If you get disconnected as a result of network issues is there a chance to return to your test same way you left?
Most times it’s possible, but you have reload the page immediately..
It’s quite sad I was disqualified. I don’t know why though but I’ll really appreciate if I’m told how I faulted so I don’t repeat it again. I really had high hopes, registered my brother because I’m awaiting youth service.
Hello,
I’ve read the information above concerning the upcoming test. I’ve also learnt that incoming calls on mobile can serve as leaving the test screen, and this has some serious repercussions. Owing to the fact that to the mobile, calls can be inevitable. How do we manage this then?
Thank you.
Personally, I will look for that time within the stipulated 24 hours that I don’t normally recurve calls and write. Even if it is waking up as early as 4am, or even from 12am down
Do not receive calls at that time. Also end any incoming call
Yess👏
I wish everyone the best
This article helps alot. As we are approaching this exam, I wish everyone all the best

I am suppose to write my test today, but finding difficult to access it. how can I go about it?
The test was postponed by one week due to the public holidays. That means you’ll be writing your test next week Tuesday.

On the day of one’s exam, how much time does the person have to attend to the test, like will it be open to the person for the whole day??
