Read the institution’s screening instructions first

Post-UTME is not identical across Nigerian universities. Some institutions use a test, while others use screening, document verification, or a combination. Start with the official notice so your study plan matches the actual process.

Create a two-part preparation routine

Your first routine should cover the academic subjects and question style you expect. Your second routine should cover practical readiness: registration details, valid email and phone access, document scans, transport, and a plan for the screening day.

  • Use timed practice to improve accuracy and pacing.
  • Review errors by topic instead of only counting total scores.
  • Keep confirmation slips, payment evidence, and login details in one secure place.
  • Follow only the official portal for venue, date, and document changes.
