What You Need To Know About CRF Test
As we move closer to the College Relief Fund (CRF) Aptitude Test, our support lines have been flooded with questions from applicants seeking clarity on the upcoming test procedures, allowed tools, and final selection guidelines.
This comprehensive post addresses the most common questions to help you prepare confidently and avoid costly mistakes during the test.
Please note: Certain aspects of the test structure and scoring system are intentionally undisclosed to protect the integrity of the examination and discourage malpractice attempts
๐ฏ About the CRF Aptitude Test
The CRF Aptitude Test is a fully online, e-proctored examination accessible via most modern browsers. It is designed to assess applicants fairly and transparently based on merit, reasoning ability, and financial literacy through the Naira & Sense Series.
We recommend using the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser for the best test experience on both desktop and mobile.
Test Duration: 20 minutes
Total Questions: 40 multiple-choice questions
Categories:
- Use of English
- Quantitative Reasoning
- Current Affairs
- General Knowledge
- Naira & Sense (financial literacy & economic awareness)
Each test randomly pulls 4 out of the 5 categories above.
โ๏ธ E-Proctoring and Security
The CRF Aptitude Test is powered by an advanced AI-based proctoring system that monitors user activity in real-time to detect and prevent cheating.
This includes analyzing browser activity, device access logs, camera/microphone feeds, and other indicators of misconduct.
โ ๏ธ Important:
Ensure to take the PRACTICE TEST several times โ even on the test day โ to confirm that your device, network, and browser are fully compatible with the testing system.
๐ข 1. Use of Calculators
โ
Allowed: Physical calculators
โ Not Allowed: Calculator apps, phone tools, or on-screen widgets.
To maintain fairness, only standalone calculators may be used during the test.
๐ซ 2. Leaving the Test Screen
Leaving the test window is strictly prohibited and will result in an automatic zero score.
The following actions count as leaving the screen:
On a Computer:
- Clicking outside the test window or switching browser tabs.
- Using multiple monitors or minimized screens.
- Opening overlay apps (including On-Screen Keyboard).
On a Mobile Device:
- Receiving or answering calls during the test.
- Entering the multi-app switcher.
- Activating floating apps, screenshots, or screen recorders.
- Using โnight modeโ or screen-dimming apps that alter the display.
Tip: Keep your phone on Do Not Disturb and close background apps before starting.
๐ฅ 3. Device Access Permissions
The CRF testing system will request permission to access your camera, microphone, and location. These are required for e-proctoring and identity verification.
When prompted by your browser, click โAllowโ for all permissions.
Failure to grant access may cause your test to terminate automatically with a zero score.
๐ฑ 4. Multiple Devices or Unauthorized Help
Candidates are required to take the test alone and on one device only.
Any indication of multiple active sessions, background devices, or external help will be flagged by the system as malpractice.
Searching online for answers, group discussions, or screen-sharing during the test will lead to disqualification.
โฐ 5. Test Timing and Submission
Your test will automatically submit once the 20-minute timer elapses.
However, we recommend submitting manually once youโre confident of your answers.
Note that connection interruptions can slightly alter your test time display โ this reflects synchronization delays between your browser and the CRF servers.
๐ก Tip: The smoother your test session, the faster your submission logs will upload and confirm completion. Multiple suspicious activities will generate longer logs, potentially delaying your result validation.
๐ 6. Test Results
While the system is capable of instant scoring, CRF deliberately delays result publication to perform integrity and security audits.
This ensures no compromised results are displayed before final verification.
Once approved, all scores will be visible on your Aptitude Test Portal via your dashboard.
๐งพ About the Final Selection
Selection for the College Relief Fund Scholarship is not solely based on test scores. The final stage combines:
- Application Information (Registration & Enrollment)
- Document Verification (admission letters, ID cards, results)
- Aptitude Test Performance
- Financial Need Assessment
Each factor contributes to a point-based internal system, available only to CRF management and funding partners to maintain transparency.
โ ๏ธ Important:
Discrepancies in details (such as mismatched names on bank accounts or documents) may lead to disqualification โ even after the test.
There is no fixed cutoff mark, but higher test scores improve your overall ranking in the selection matrix.
๐ก Pro Tips for Test Day Success
- โ Take the Practice Test on the same device and browser youโll use for the real test.
- โ Read all Naira & Sense Series articles โ several test questions come from them.
- โ Sit in a quiet, well-lit environment with stable internet.
- โ Keep your CRF Dashboard open for real-time alerts and updates.
๐ Final Words
The College Relief Fund remains dedicated to a fair, transparent, and merit-based scholarship process. The Aptitude Test is designed not just to assess academic ability but also financial literacy and ethical behavior.
Applicants are advised to prepare seriously, follow the rules, and avoid any temptation to cheat. Every genuine effort counts โ and your integrity could make the difference.
Once test results are validated, successful applicants will move into the disbursement phase, with scholarship awards of up to โฆ400,000 to support tuition and living expenses.
