Having sat for the long awaited EPT today, I would like to implore everyone who is yet to sit for the test to be time conscious while attempting his or her questions. It is advisable to skip the comprehension aspect and comeback to it later if time permit. Spending time on the comprehension aspect before attempting other questions is one sure way to fail this test because it is time consuming and scoring it all does not give one a pass Mark. There were Twenty comprehension passages in all. Each passage has not less than fifteen lines with only one question. Thus, there were a total of twenty questions on comprehension aspect. Best of luck to everyone.

I believe the aim of the many/plenty Comprehension passages and questions in the ongoing EPT is to test how "FAST and accurate" the postgraduate candidate is able to read and UNDERSTAND a passage within a given time. In other words, they expect the candidate to finish reading and understanding a passage within 2-3 minutes. That is just the trick.

My exam comes up tomorrow morning and I can only hope for the best. I no go kill myself.

Thank God you said 2-3 minutes. Now assuming you spent two minutes on each passage and you answered all, that is automatically 60 minutes for comprehension alone. Now what wisdom is there in demonstrating expertise that will lead one to failure? To me, the inclusion of such volume of comprehension is to test candidates' ability to make a wise decision under any circumstance.

I did my test yesterday. There weren't 20 comprehension passages. There were about 4 or 5 different passages spread across 20 questions.

I did mine today too, 4 comprehension passages with 20 questions coming from them.
The Oduduwa passage, Higher Education passage, Niger Delta passage and one other one.
Few questions came out from d practice questions. Try and spend 20 minutes on other parts, 30 minutes for d comprehension n 10 minutes for revision.

Thanks guys for all the help. I actually skipped the comprehension, to other sections then came back to attempt the comprehension questions. This gave me a lot of time to attempt the comprehension questions

I don't know about yours but my English test today at the DLC, UniBadan did not contain even up to six (6) Comprehension passages, likewise with those that took the test yesterday. There were just four (4) Comprehension passages with one question from each, then the passages are repeated but with a different question for each as you proceed to the next question.

In other words, the Comprehension passages are THE SAME all through - they are only REPEATED, therefore if one is able to FASTLY read accurately and UNDERSTAND each passage within 2-3 minutes one is expected or should be able to answer the rest questions (whether they are 25 or 50 in number) within 25 seconds or 1 minute maximum. To make it clearer: they do not expect one to read ALL through the passages again in subsequent questions since one might have understood what it is all about, rather they want you to just glance at a line or two (especially in the middle/bottom of a Comprehension passage) and pick the answer from it.

So, it is all about reading FAST and UNDERSTANDING, not really making a "wise decision" in any circumstance. If you don't UNDERSTAND after fastly reading the passages you can't make any wise decision because any (wise) decision taken might still lead to a failure! Anyway, I wish everyone the best.
