Examinationsedit
Every year, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board conducts one of the most credible examinations in Nigeria that determines whether a student will be admitted to a tertiary institution of learning. A record number of more than 1.7 million candidates registered for the 2022 examination.[8]
The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination is only valid for a year with score range 0–400. The examination is a test of knowledge, speed and accuracy. It consists of 180 questions with a time frame of 2 hours (120 minutes). The subject combination[9] vary based on a candidate's desired course of study, although English language is compulsory for all candidates.
The examination is conducted for international candidates who wish to be admitted into any Nigerian Tertiary institution by the West African Examination Council (WAEC).
After the conduct of the year's examination, the board sits and deliberates on the cut-off mark for universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and monotechnics, often universities have the highest cut-off mark, while other institutions require lower marks.[10]
Practice Platformsedit
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board is yet to officially approve a certified CBT practice platform for candidates. However, with growing concern over the performance of candidates in these Computer Based Tests,[11] considering the fact that Nigeria is a developing country with a sizeable number of school children having little to no access to computers & the internet,[12] a number of independent contributors [13] have provided practice platforms with thousands of past questions to help candidates prepare and boost their performance in the actual test.
