UL Entrance study guide

UL Entrance · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

The University of Liberia Entrance Examination is the admission test used by the University of Liberia, a public institution founded in 1862 as Liberia College and made a full university in 1951, funded mainly by the Government of Liberia. Candidates typically sit it after secondary school as the gateway to undergraduate study at the university's colleges and schools, which span social sciences and humanities, education, agriculture and forestry, business and public administration, science and technology, engineering, gender studies, and general studies, alongside professional schools such as the Louis Arthur Grimes School of Law and the College of Health Sciences. The test is generally structured around four areas: general undergraduate admission reasoning, English language and communication, mathematics and quantitative reasoning, and science with general knowledge. Preparation should be built on the Liberian senior secondary syllabus: revise English comprehension, grammar and essay writing; practise algebra, geometry, percentages and data interpretation; and review biology, chemistry, physics and current affairs. The UL Entrance study guide has 4 sections and about 1,293 words.

Questions may ask about the purpose of the entrance examination, how raw scores are used, what documents support an application, and how programme choice affects selection.
