\(\color{black}{\textbf{BACKGROUND}}\)

The University of Liberia, through its Center for Testing and Evaluation (CTE), routinely conducts entrance examinations and aptitude assessments as part of the admission process for its undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools. The results of these examinations are utilized to identify candidates who are qualified to undertake collegiate coursework without additional high school preparation. The examinations are offered in two formats: Paper-Based Test (PBT) and Computer-Based Test (CBT).

Exam Calendar of Events

  • \(\color{red}{\textbf{Exam Registration Period:}}\) The Center for Testing and Evaluation (CTE) at the University of Liberia initiated the registration process for the Undergraduate Entrance Examination, as well as the Graduate and Professional Schools Aptitude Tests, on Monday, May 26, 2025, and concluded on Monday, June 15, 2025.

  • \(\color{brown}{\textbf{Exam Administration Period:}}\)

CTE-UL administered the Computer-Based Entrance Exam for undergraduate candidates from Tuesday, July 1, 2025, to Saturday, July 5, 2025. The Paper-based Examination for centers in Montserrado and Grand Cape Mount counties was conducted on Saturday, July 12, 2025.

  • \(\color{brown}{\textbf{Executive Summary:}}\) A total of thirteen thousand, one hundred thirty (13,130 ) candidates registered for the entrance examination for Undergraduate Colleges. Six hundred fourteen (614 or 4.68%) candidates were absent. Twelve thousand, five hundred sixteen (12,516) candidates, or 95.32%, participated in the Examination.

Out of the total twelve thousand five hundred sixteen (12,516) candidates who participated in the July 12 examinations, two thousand eight hundred seven (2,807 or 28.32%) candidates successfully passed. Conversely, nine thousand two hundred ninety-nine (9,299 or 74.30%) candidates were unsuccessful. Additionally, four hundred ten (410 or 3.28%) candidates shaded their assigned examination numbers incorrectly, resulting in their results being indeterminate.

Of the two thousand, eight hundred seven (2,807 or 28.32%) candidates who successfully passed the Entrance Exams, one thousand, four hundred fifteen (1,415 or 50.41%) are females, whereas one thousand, three hundred ninety-two (1,392 or 49.59%) are males.

A total of two hundred twenty-one (221) candidates registered for the entrance examination for David A. Straz Technical and Vocational College in Sinje, Grand Cape Mount County. Thirty-three (33 or 14.93 %) candidates were absent. One hundred eighty-eight (188) candidates, or 85.07%, participated in the Examination.

Out of the total one hundred eighty-eight (188) candidates who participated in the July 12 examinations in Sinje, twenty-five (25 or 13.30%) candidates successfully passed. Conversely, eighty-five (85 or 45.21%) candidates were unsuccessful. Additionally, four (4 or 2.13%) candidates shaded their assigned examination numbers incorrectly, resulting in their results being indeterminate.

Additionally, nineteen candidates (about 10.11%) need to do extra work in Mathematics, while thirty-two candidates (roughly 17.02%) should join a remedial program in English. Moreover, twenty-three candidates (around 12.23%) are required to participate in remedial programs in both Mathematics and English to move forward to the regular program. We hope this shows the ongoing support available to help all students succeed.
