Start with your stage

Guidance that follows the journey.

Each stage answers a different question. Open the one closest to where you are now, then confirm final instructions with the relevant official source.

Pre-exam planner

Before you sit the exams

Use pre-exam planning to understand the school, course, verified reference, and requirements you need to prepare for.

O’Level

O’Level preparation

Check the required subjects, minimum grades, credit count, and sittings when the selected route has them documented.

JAMB / UTME

JAMB and UTME

Read the required subject combination and compare your JAMB position with the verified route reference where available.

Screening

Post-UTME and screening

Understand whether screening is required, what format is recorded, and which details still need confirmation.

Verification

Admission-list checks

Follow the official institution and examination channels, confirm notices, and avoid acting on an unverified message.

Follow-up

Keep a short list of documents, portals, questions, and deadlines to confirm as the admission cycle moves forward.
