Post-UTME questions
What subjects come out in Post-UTME?
Usually English and the three subjects you wrote in JAMB, sometimes with general knowledge questions. Your school announces its format when screening opens.
How is the Post-UTME score used?
Most schools combine it with your UTME score (and sometimes your O'level grades) into an aggregate, then admit by the cut-off for each course.
How do I prepare for Post-UTME?
Revise the same topics as JAMB, but go deeper on your course's core subjects. Short, timed mock tests help you get used to the pace.
