Good to know. Are you an applicant? I'm applying for Development Communication, Theatre Arts. Do have any idea what the testing is going to be about? For instance, is it general or department specific? Any past questions?

I also applied, and my test is 12/12 as well

Nope, am an Msc student at the mentioned department but presently in Zaria.

Please how did you guys submit your transcript (your home school or yourself?) i fear my school might not be prompt in the delivery just wondering if i can deliver it myself to avoid story that touch ;your suggestions means alot i ll be expecting thanks all

Download the transcript form on abu portal and submit it at the school u want them to transfer ur transcript to abu. Remember to obtain ur personal copy to submit as advance copy at Ur department. The formal university will forward the school copy directly from the exam and records division to abu

@Supo thanks i appreciate,but i got lost somewhere in your explanation a copy of what am i to take to my department(as advance copy?) i know how to go about requesting my school to give me or send my transcript to another school. My challenge is how fast they can do it because i filled and submited my ABU PG E-FORM just yesterday(which was the last day for submition) and in order to catch up with lost time i want my transcript to be delivered as soon as practicable so i was thinking if asking my sch to send it myself will be advisable THANKS BRO SUPO share your thought once more!

Bro, no need sweating yourself na. You need to just relax. If you can, go to your former school yourself with the Transcript Request Form which you have downloaded by now, no doubt. As you apply for the transcript discuss with the people in charge the possibility of you taking it to ABU yourself.
By the way, I'm sure you know your former school's policy on transcript processing.
For instance, my former school, UJ, doesn't give applicants transcripts. The applicant is mandated to supply recipient's address, choose/pay for any courier service and UJ takes care of the rest. But, even with that, those who know their way actually collect their transcripts themselves.
I think that ABU is only interested in your original transcript, so, how it gets to them is immaterial.
My thoughts though.

Guy, have you tried calling any of the numbers posted on the PG webpage? It's a good place to start. Or if you live near by, or have someone who does they can help you find out from the department.
Also, check the link I posted above, it leads to the other thread.
