  1. Measurement, vectors and motion15%Units, dimensions, vectors, linear, projectile and circular motion and gravitation open the syllabus and usually give about 6 of the 40 questions.
  2. Equilibrium, work, energy and machines15%Moments, work, energy, power, friction, machines and elasticity are short calculations the UTME sets every year, about 6 questions.
  3. Waves, light and sound15%The wave equation, mirrors, refraction, lenses, defects of vision and echoes are a large syllabus block, about 6 questions.
  4. Heat, thermal expansion and gas laws12.5%Thermometry, expansion, the gas laws, latent heat and heat transfer give about 5 questions in most sittings.

  • Answer all 40 questions. Each question carries 1 mark, and there is no penalty for a wrong answer.
  • The real UTME is one computer-based sitting of 180 questions in 2 hours across four subjects (60 in Use of English and 40 in each of the other three). The 27 minutes here is this subject's proportional share of that time.
  • Take wherever it is needed.
  • A basic calculator may be used.
