INTRODUCTION

The University of Liberia customarily administers entrance and placement exams as part of the vetting process of admission. The test is intended to help determine selection of those who are at least capable of doing college course work without further high school preparation.

The exercises leading to this year UL Entrance Examinations started on Monday, February 4, 2019, with the candidates initially going to the designated banks for payment of the registration fees and subsequently proceeding to the Testing Center on Capitol Hill Campus, located in the GH Building (or, Business College) for registration completion.

KEY FINDINGS

• The total of five hundred sixty-six (566) candidates completed registration;

• Two hundred ninety-nine (376 or 66.4%) of them are males while sixty-three (190 or 33.6% ) are females;

• Only 15.9% of the candidates that completed registration are from Public Schools; See the School Category for details;

• Of those that completed registration, 81.4% of them are from schools located in Montserrado County;

• 99.1% of the candidates that completed registration are Liberians while the rest are either Ghanians, Nigerians or Sierra Leoneans;

• 96.82% of the candidates that completed registration are High School Graduates while the rest are either Current 12th Graders or students from Other Universities;

Challenges

• Despite effort by our Registration Team, candidates still find it difficult to distinguish between Faith-Based Schools(Schools owned by Religious Institutions) and the Private Schools(Schools owned individuals); This may make our statistics inacurate in analyzing the Category of School variable;
