Now just looking at your Excellent jamb score, you’ve already told yourself you’ve been admitted into your first choice but what if you make a mistake in the POST-UTME and loose your chance of getting admitted?
Every year, Millions of students attempt the POST-UTME for their various university choices but only about 10% of all these students are admitted, there factors usually are responsible for this;
1. Poor O-Level results (Less than 5 credits)
2. Poor JAMB UTME score
3. Poor POST-UTME scores.
In this content, I’ll be writing about the third factor and how to overcome it.
In Most Nigerian Universities, you must score the required Cut off Mark or above to qualify for the Post UTME Screening and then offered admission, so I’m assuming you’ve acquired the necessary jamb score.
First of all, you have to be organized when presented with a task – especially educational task and if you’ve not mastered the art of organization through secondary school, university is going to be difficult for you.
You have to take note of the various Aggregate cut off points for the departments in your aspiring school, and from the previous Cut off published, you can determine the cut off for your admission year. Schools usually change them with a margin of ±5 points with respect to the applications received and jamb scores of Applicants. When you’ve succeeded in noting this down, you should divide your jamb score by 8, and the value you get is the first half of your Aggregate. Assuming you scored 400/400 in jamb; 400÷8 will equal 50% so if your course is Electrical Engineering and the cut off is 80%, you need 30/50 as your POST UTME grade. Try as much as possible to pass the previous cut off with 5 points so even if the aggregate cut off is Increased, you’re sure of admission.
Now with this in mind, I’ll enumerate the various tips and techniques for acing your Post UTME scores!
I’m Studying Electrical Engineering which is one of the most difficult courses of securing admission in the Engineering faculty, therefore if you follow my tips, you shall get admitted into any university and your preferred course -

Proven techniques to Pass Your POST UTME for Any School In Nigeria;
1. Get as many past question compiled as possible;
This will give you clear insight of how their questions are structured, the number of questions you should expect and in some cases – the time! When Practicing, if the usual time for 50 questions is 30 minutes, you must be able to answer 50 questions in 25 minutes. Then with the remaining five minutes, revise all your answers and spot the errors. Almost all the Post UTME boards don’t set new questions, they just pick the same questions, reshuffle them, rephrase them and present to you. If you’re able to answer questions from 5 years, then post UTME won’t be an issue.

2. Read through your secondary school textbooks extensively;
The truth is that no matter how good you are in answering questions from UTME compiled, you can’t be so sure of those answers. Some errors may be present in the past questions and if you don’t make note of these and correct them using Recommended textbooks, you may loose some marks. Also, it isn’t 100% affirmative that new questions won’t be made so in order to be on the safe side, consult your recommended text books and study them very well. This is needed for you to understand some questions you might be having difficulty to answer. Once you are able to understand it, it has become part of you.



3. Work on your speed and accuracy;
As I’ve mentioned in point one, you need to work on your speed and not just that – accuracy! You are going to be graded base on the number of questions you are able to answer. This means you must be fast and accurate. This is a competition and an opportunity to get your chosen course. You have thousands of people competing with you and you need to work your way out so as to be among those that will be offer admission.



4. Ask questions;
Nowadays, everything is on Facebook or Google or Nairaland. Instead of you spending hours sharing memes and photos, consult your seniors, join Facebook groups to get more information about your aspiring school and I’m very sure there are many good people willing to answer all your honest questions.

5. Be confident and believe in your retentive abilities;
Sometime people study very well for tough exams but because of the prestige of the exam or bad news you’ve heard from people, you totally black put your mind and then loose confidence, this is very wrong! Many people have written the test and passed very well, so don’t allow fear to steal away your chance of gaining admission, the people who fail or tell you passing is impossible aren’t worth your peace of mind, be optimistic!

6. Strengthen your subconscious mind;
This isn’t very popular but the few that know about it use it very well for their benefits. This can be done through prayer, affirmative words or just good wishes from your loved ones. If everyone around you wishes you success, and you also believe in it, then you will be unstoppable.

I believe this content has explained extensively yet briefly how well to Ace your exams so put these techniques into Practice and gain that common admission guys!
