The University of Liberia, through its Center for Testing and Evaluation (CTE), customarily administered entrance exams and aptitude tests as part of the vetting process for admission into its undergraduate colleges and graduate and professional schools, respectively. We use the exam results to determine the selection of candidates capable of doing college coursework without further high school preparation. The exam has two types: Paper-Based Test (PBT) and Computer-Based Test (CBT).
