The University of Nigeria (UNN), also known as the Lion’s Den, is a prestigious institution committed to restoring the dignity of man.
If you are a prospective undergraduate student and have applied to UNN as your first or second choice university, you have the opportunity to become a potential lion or lioness.
In this blog post, we will provide you with a brief rundown of what you need to know about how UNN organizes its Post-UTME exams.
Unique Format of UNN Post-UTME:
UNN stands out from other Nigerian institutions when it comes to organizing its Post-UTME exams.
The focus of the test is primarily on speed and accuracy. You will be given a total of 60 questions to answer within a duration of 40 minutes.
This means that time management, speed, and precision are crucial during the exam.
Subject Combination:
The subjects you will be tested on in the UNN Post-UTME are the same ones you selected for your JAMB-UTME.
When you purchase the Post-UTME form and register online, you will notice that the subject combination mirrors the one you chose for JAMB.
For example, if your JAMB subject combination included English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, these will be the subjects you will be examined on in the Post-UTME.
Note on Exam Pattern:
According to information from reliable sources, the Post-UTME online practice CBT (Computer-Based Test) launched on the UNN official website consists of 60 questions, with 15 questions per subject, to be completed within one hour (60 minutes).
This suggests a possible return to the previous pattern of setting 60 questions for the Post-UTME. Hence, it is advisable to prepare your mind for this potential development.
Time Allocation:
To manage your time effectively during the exam, it is recommended that you complete each subject within 10 minutes, which translates to approximately 40 seconds per question.
This rule of thumb helps ensure you have sufficient time to attempt all the questions.
Exam Center and Categorization:
UNN conducts its Post-UTME exams on the school campus. However, due to venue limitations, the exams are spread over three days to allow for proper screening and effective management.
Your examination center is determined based on your JAMB score. UNN categorizes students into groups according to their JAMB scores. Each group will write their exams in separate examination halls.
Preparing for UNN Post-UTME:
To excel in this year’s UNN Post-UTME exam, it is advisable to focus on speed and accuracy during your preparation.
Solve past questions and time yourself to assess your ability to answer questions correctly and quickly. This practice will help you build confidence and improve your performance on the actual exam day.
Conclusion
As a prospective undergraduate student of the University of Nigeria (UNN), understanding the organization of the Post-UTME exams is essential for your preparation.
The unique format, subject combination, time allocation, and categorization based on JAMB scores all play a role in your success.
By practicing speed and accuracy, you can enhance your performance and increase your chances of gaining admission to UNN.
