Once Again I wish everyone success in their examination ...
at the end of this examination our
results shall be testimonies
By the grace of God we are done with the GSTs exam but lest not forget that we are just about
to start the main examination.... please I implore everyone of us to go through the calculations in
the manual don't just go through them study them and understand it....because during the exam
they might change something in the questions example like the parameters and so on ...so please
study the calculations well..and also the questions at the back of the manual ... please that is
also very important learn them well ...everything because the system will shuffle your questions
and you might be opportuned to get the ones you didn't learn so please learn every exercise at
the back of the manual
SUCCESS IN YOUR EXAMINATION
