Approach
a concept-first pass, a depth pass, a revision pass, and a structured mock series

This 6-month plan gives you 180 days to work through 20 weighted Post-UTME (Nigeria) topics across 2 subjects — roughly 0.11 new topics a day at 2.5–3.5 hours of focused study. That moderate daily load is the point of starting this early — you trade intensity for retention.

Post-UTME (Nigeria) marks are not spread evenly across subjects. English and Subject-Combination carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — so they become the conceptual backbone the rest of the syllabus hangs off. Cover everything, and give weight 3–5 topics a second problem-solving pass. Low-weight topics get one solid pass — at this length they are worth keeping, not cutting.

Around 6 months lets you do far more than cover Post-UTME (Nigeria) — you can understand it: a concept pass, a problem-solving pass, then spaced revision across all 20 topics. A multi-month plan fails by drifting in the early, low-pressure weeks. Anchor each month to a concrete checkpoint so the slack does not become a late scramble.

What to prioritise & cut

Cover everything, and give weight 3–5 topics a second problem-solving pass. Low-weight topics get one solid pass — at this length they are worth keeping, not cutting.

Mock tests & revision

Topic and sectional tests through the build phase; full-length mocks every other week from the midpoint, weekly in the final two months. Maintain an error log from the start.

Weekly rhythm

Three arcs: a concept-building phase, a depth-and-problems phase, and a revision-plus-mocks phase. Each subject gets at least two spaced passes.

Post-UTME (Nigeria) 6-Month Plan — common questions

Is 180 days enough to prepare for Post-UTME (Nigeria)? +

Around 6 months lets you do far more than cover Post-UTME (Nigeria) — you can understand it: a concept pass, a problem-solving pass, then spaced revision across all 20 topics. The honest answer depends on your starting point, but this 6-month plan is built to get the most from the time you have: build real understanding, then layer depth, two revision passes, and a structured mock series.

How many hours a day does this Post-UTME (Nigeria) 6-month plan need? +

Plan for 2.5–3.5 hours of focused study, covering about 0.11 new topics a day. Three arcs: a concept-building phase, a depth-and-problems phase, and a revision-plus-mocks phase. Each subject gets at least two spaced passes.

What should I skip if I am short on time? +

Cover everything, and give weight 3–5 topics a second problem-solving pass. Low-weight topics get one solid pass — at this length they are worth keeping, not cutting.

When should I start mock tests on this plan? +

Topic and sectional tests through the build phase; full-length mocks every other week from the midpoint, weekly in the final two months. Maintain an error log from the start.
