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 one thousand, nine hundred forty (1,940) candidates completed registration;

• One thousand, two hundred eighty-three (1,283 or 66.1%) of them are males while six hundred fifty-seven (657 or 33.9% ) are females;

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;
