Hmm! It took me time to compile this,
but I am actually doing this to help all
the unilag aspirants, the remaining is
left for you to do.
First of all, you need to know how
your aggregate score is calculated.
The utme is total mark is 400 and also
the post utme total mark is 40. To get
one’s aggregate, your utme score is
divided by 8 and then your post utme
score is multiplied by 1.25. Let me
give a quintessential.
If one gets 250 in utme, the person
divides the 250 by 8 to get his/her
score over 50, I.e 250/8=31.25,
therefore the person scored 31.25/50
in his utme. And if one gets 30/40 in
the post utme, the person should
multiply his score by 1.25 to get his/
her score over 50, therefore if the
person got 30, his score over 50 is
30*1.5=37.5 which means the person
got 31.5 in his utme and 37.5 in his
post utme, the addition of both
scores would give you your aggregate.
The person’s aggregate over 100 is
31.5+37.5=69% which is his/her
score.
I hope you now know how to calculate
your aggregate. Ok let’s move to
another important aspect which is the
examination proper and the
preparation.

2) People have been asking; what
subjects are we writing in our post
utme? Is it tough? How does it look
like? Well! These questions are very
intelligent ones.
For your post utme, you would be
assessed with three subjects which
are Mathematics, English language
and general paper.
I. The Mathematics contains 50%
further mathematics, and 50% pure
mathematics, but note, no calculus is
involved, by calculus I mean no
integration or differentiation. You
could see expansion, simplify or
prove that…polynomials. Then your
statistics like
mean,median,range,mode,etc for
normal maths and do not forget
probability. Sorry I almost forgot,
your indices is also important.
II. As for your English language, do
not be scared, there is no
comprehension because of the Little
time. Just practice your concord,
normal lexis (fill in the gap), Little
Oral english, antonyms and
synonyms.
III. For your general paper, just know
things about unilag like the present
vice chancellor’s name, the former
v.c’s name, the year the institution
was established or founded. Also
learn about this years presidential
election. Just listen to news at this
period. If you are a lover of cartoons
and movies, you better start being a
lover of world news and local
Nigerian news. Also visit
www.generalworldknowlwdge.com for
general knowledge like the longest
river, the highest mountain bla bla…
Also get a current affairs pamphlet of
about 100 naira in the market, pls buy
the current one oooh!! I mean the
one of 2014 and probably 2015, if you
see that in the market.
You should also study your utme past
questions also, because unilag might
decide to add your jamb combination
in your general paper, like someone
who did physics, chemistry, biology
and English in utme can see the
physics, chemistry and biology in the
general paper, so don’t ignore or
throw away your utme past questions,
still keep practicing. But pay more
attention to the maths,English and
general paper.

3) I discovered that most people
don’t know about the timing and how
to go about it, that is why people
study hard for the exam and still fail
the exam. That is not your portion.
Ok let’s start from here.
You have forty questions in your post
utme with only thirty minutes to
answer them. How difficult right? you
see how unrealistic it looks, but it is
possible, it takes intelligence and
smartness to pass your utme not just
intelligence. Oh! I almost forgot, the
mathematics is 15 questions, English
is 15 questions and general paper is
10 questions making it a total of 40
questions. Now when you enter the
examination hall you must be
confident and avoid distractions by
other candidates or invigilators,
complain if you have problem with
your computer and pray before
starting. You have done a cbt exam so
I don’t need to lecture you about
that.
Let me give you a secret. If you have
started, usually the questions are
scattered, start from number one
question, if you don’t know it, don’t
skip it ooh! Click any answer and then
write down that number that you
don’t know, move to number two, if
you know it, do it, if you are not sure
still, just click on anything your mind
directs you to and then write down
the number so that if you are through
and you still have time, you can still
go back to those numbers, but if your
time is up, at least you have clicked
on something that is probably 50%
right and 50% wrong. Just make sure
you answer all the questions.
Please and please, submit by yourself
to avoid stories, click on the submit
button, don’t Let it submit
automatically, though there is nothing
wrong in an automatic submission,
but it is better you do it buy yourself
at least 30 seconds till the expiration
of your time. Click this link to

4) Go early for your exam,please be
punctual, unilag don’t accept shit!
Sorry I used that. Note that scientific
calculator is not allowed, all that are
allowed is, pencil or pen
and your examination pass.(These
would be communicated to you
before your examination).

5) Join/add this number 08142162490
on your whatsapp and request to join
the UNILAG ASPIRANT UPDATE group,
for updates on your exam.

6) For your unilag post utme past
questions, you can get it in hard copy
in the unilag bookshop. It goes for 1k
only. Or you chill for me to send the
soft copy via pdf.

7) yea! Yea! I finally remembered after
thinking so hard to remember the
most important point.
Some people have been questions
like.
* what do I need to score to get
finance, civil engineering, pharmacy
etc and I have being given them a
rather inconsequential and wrong
answer(s), sorry for that. The right
answer is that you should get 40 in
your post utme. Aim at the highest
score, don’t aim for 25 or 27 or worst
39 aim for 40 and you would be
suprise when you see yourself scoring
40, it is not impossible. Last year we
had about 10 people with 39, I mean
in a legitimate way. Strive to score the
best score and not an average, I know
I my self scored 29, not because I
aimed at 29, but because I aimed at
40. So just work very hard to score
everything, if anything happens you
can drop to 38 or 35. Most people
that aimed for 200 in their utme
ended up scoring 180 or less, but
those that aimed better i.e 280 and
above got 250,236 etc while those
that aimed for 400 got 300 and above
and you begin to wonder how
possible it was. It is their optimism
and hardwork. I believe you can make
it. You also have to believe in
yourself.
