Post-UTME past questions

Post-UTME examinations and screening exercises can differ considerably from one institution to another. Preparation should focus on the requirements and subject combinations relevant to the institution you are applying to.

Choose a subject

Check your institution first

There is no single national Post-UTME format. Format, subject combination, question count and duration are set by each institution, so the first thing to establish is what yours actually requires.

Practise under timed conditions

Whatever the format, familiarity with working accurately under time pressure transfers between examinations. Use the available question sets to build that, and keep practising the subjects in your own combination rather than drifting towards whichever you enjoy most.

Screening often revisits UTME ground

Many institutions screen on the same subject combination a candidate offered at UTME. If that is true of yours, the preparation you have already done is not wasted — the work is keeping it warm rather than starting again. Confirm the combination your institution actually requires before assuming it matches.

Find out what your institution publishes

  • Whether screening is an examination, an aptitude test, or document verification.
  • Which subjects are covered, and how many questions.
  • How long you get.
  • Whether the score is combined with your UTME result, and in what proportion.

These vary widely between institutions, which is exactly why we do not publish a single universal answer here — a confident but wrong description would be worse than none.
