What happens on the day
Screening is a 50-question computer test in English, Mathematics and two subjects related to your programme. It lasts 60 minutes, and you see your score before you leave.
You then have a ten-minute conversation with two people from your school. It is not an interview to catch you out: we want to hear why you chose the programme and what support might help you.
Online screening is available for applicants outside Abuja, with a webcam check and a short practice session the week before.
