In general, the UTME includes 180 questions for four different subjects. The marks per question are usually 2.5, yet this might change slightly based on the topic. Usually, if you provide the correct answer to a question in Mathematics or Physics, you will be awarded 2.5 marks.

General Paper (English) uses a fairly detailed and complex way to measure achievement. There are parts of the English paper, including comprehension and essay writing, that hold a bigger weight. Although multiple-choice questions keep the 2.5-mark standard, the essay or comprehension may help you earn higher marks on your English exam.
