The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) Post UTME screening examination is a computer-based test (CBT) conducted for prospective students seeking admission into the university known as the Lion Den.

Every year, over sixty thousand JAMBites choose UNN as their preferred first choice of institution in JAMB. To gain admission into UNN, you must strategize and prepare adequately for the Post UTME examination.

The nature of UNN Post UTME is four subjects comprising of 15 questions each. The subject combination is the same as that of your JAMB subject combination. For example, if you wrote Economics, English Language, Government and Literature in English in JAMB, this is the same subject you will write in your Post UTME screening.

When I was preparing for my Post UTME screening a few years ago, I remember how inadequate I felt while preparing for the screening exam.

At times, I wondered if I would be able to survive the stiff competition to secure admission. As you know, UNN is one of the top university destinations for admission seekers across the country.

Below are effective strategies to pass UNN Post UTME in flying colors.

How to Pass UNN Post UTME Exam

1. Do Not Be Afraid
2. Study with JAMB Syllabus
3. Practice UNN Post UTME Past Questions
4. Practice JAMB CBT Questions On Myschool
5. Stay Informed
6. Arrive UNN Campus a Day Before Your Examination
7. Know The Format of the Post UTME Screening Examination
8. Avoid Anxiety During the Examination

1. Do Not Be Afraid

Most students who come for the Post UTME screening fail the exam before the conduction of screening exercise.

A few years ago, I too was unsure whether I had made the right decision to put UNN as my first choice in JAMB considering the very bright students who are also competing for the limited admission slot.

On the day of the exam at the Nnamdi Azikwe library, I almost fainted when I saw the number of students who applied for the same department as myself.

“How will I enter; how will I survive?” I asked myself

I advise you that you should not be overwhelmed by the statistics of students who have applied to study in UNN.

It is an individual struggle. If you strategize and prepare smartly, you would be a Lion or Lioness (male or female UNN students) in the next coming months. Do not be afraid.

2. Study with JAMB & UNN Post UTME Syllabus

The UNN Post UTME syllabus is similar to the main JAMB examination in terms of question format. The type of questions you answered during your JAMB is what you will see during the Post UTME.

When you are preparing for the screening exercise, make sure that you study only within the domain of the official JAMB and UNN Post UTME syllabus. You will be at an advantage if you can revise the topics in the JAMB syllabus before the Post UTME examination.

Do not get intimidated by those who prepare for Post UTME with books for PhD students. I tell you, nothing will come out.

3. Practice UNN Post UTME Past Questions

You must get a copy of the UNN Post UTME Past Questions and answers so that you can be familiar with the format of the screening examination.

Over the years, there has been a report that UNN lifts some questions directly from past questions and answers.

During my own time, I saw some similar questions in the past Questions and answer booklet.

Some prospective students go on to cram the answers on it. It does not work out well for these set of students.

The purpose of the past Question and answer booklet is for you to know the type of questions you will see on the day of the examination so that you evaluate your readiness for the screening.

Make sure that you practice the past Questions and not just cram the questions and answer.

4. Practice JAMB CBT Questions on Myschool

CBT practice with Myschool is my most preferred recommendation on how to prepare and pass the UNN Post UTME examination.

Most applicants do not know that they can practice JAMB CBT on Myschool. Visit the website or download the mobile app to practice CBT questions for free.

Make sure that you make it a daily ritual to practice Questions. This technique will make you realize the topics that are your weak point. It will help you to focus on vital areas you need to understand.

5. Stay Informed

Information they say is power. When you are prepared adequately for the examination, you still need to be formed so that you don’t miss out on vital information concerning the UNN Post UTME screening exercise.

I recommend that you join my Facebook Group, My UNN Dreams and UNN News Hub. Visit the University of Nigeria website to get official information.

6. Arrive UNN a Day Before your Examination

You must arrive Nsukka a day before your Post UTME exam date. Come to Nsukka on time so that you will get familiar with the environment. It will help you to stay calm.

I recommend that you connect with a relation or friend who is a student about your accommodation.

If you don’t know anybody in UNN, you don’t have to be worried.

Arrive on Nsukka campus and locate St. Peter’s chaplaincy. The National Fellowship of Catholic Students (NFCS) is an arm of the chaplaincy that provides free accommodation for any students who do not have anywhere to stay during their Post UTME screening. It was the place I camped during my UNN post UTME examination.

7. Know the Format of the UNN Post UTME Screening Examination

Before you sit for the UNN Post UTME screening, you should know the way the questions are structured. You will be required to answer 15 questions each for your four subject combinations. That is a total of 60 Questions. The exam is over 400.

Note that sometimes for each subject, you will be given 17 questions to answer 15 questions. Do well to answer your best 15 questions.

8. Avoid Anxiety During the Examination

One factor that makes students perform poorly during the UNN Post UTME is anxiety.

From the time you see the population outside the Post UTME venue, your heart begins to beat like a drum. It is normal to feel anxious, try to relax your nerves so that you can focus your attention on answering the questions.

Tell yourself that you can make it and all is well.

9. Eat Well

If you usually prefer to write an examination on an empty stomach, then no problem. But if you are like me that can’t do without food, please do not go to the exam hall on an empty stomach. Your brain needs plenty of energy during your screening exercise.

Also, make sure that you evacuate your stomach and don’t eat unfamiliar foods so that you don’t experience stomach upset. You can experiment after the exam.

10. Revise the Questions that you Answered

After answering the questions and you still got few minutes to the termination of the Post UTME exam, do not rush to click the submit button.

Use the spare time to revise through the options that you have clicked just to make sure that you have not made any mistake.

Be confident in the options you pick and not let some random person confuse you in the exam hall. It is best to work alone to avoid external confusion.

It will be painful to realize after the exam that you exchanged a correct option for the wrong one. That will not be your experience.

11. Pray

If you are a Christian, a Muslim or a traditionalist, pray before and after your UNN Post UTME examination for academic success. The race is not by power or might but by grace. You need divine guidance to excel in your examination.

It is my prayer that the Lord God almighty will crown your efforts with success. You will share your testimony of gaining admission into UNN.
