Who Is Eligible & How to Confirm Your Registration

You should confirm that you are a registered candidate for the HOPE-EDU teacher recruitment programme under PLSUBEB. Key eligibility points usually include:

• You applied properly and your application was accepted by PLSUBEB during the registration period.
• You meet the educational requirements set out in the recruitment advert (e.g. relevant teaching qualification, O’Level credits including Mathematics & English, etc.). (This part often appears in earlier recruitment notices; always check your application status via official SUBEB channels.)
• Your name or application/reference number is among those listed in the registered applicants for the zones mapped above.

If you are unsure, visit PLSUBEB’s official website, navigate to “Teacher Recruitment / Recruitment Details / CBT Examination Schedule” to verify your zone, LGA, date, and centre.

Exam Format & What to Expect

While PLSUBEB has not published a detailed breakdown of the question types for every CBT exam, past practices and public announcements suggest that the examination will typically include:

• Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
• Questions covering subject knowledge relevant to the teaching post (depending on the subject area you applied for)
• General knowledge questions, reasoning/verbal ability, perhaps basic mathematics or comprehension as applicable for teacher roles
• Time-bound sections, where you must complete questions under a set time in each zone’s center

Always check for updates on the boards and confirm via RecruitmentGurus.com.ng, which often reports supplementary info like sample questions, marking schemes, and exam time duration.

How to Prepare for the PLSUBEB CBT Examination

Here are practical tips to improve your performance and avoid being caught unprepared:

1. Study Past Questions & Sample Tests
   Look for previous SUBEB or basic education board CBT question papers. Sometimes, PDFs are shared by successful candidates or educational groups. These help you understand exam style and time management.
2. Review Core Subjects
   Make sure your subject knowledge (e.g. Mathematics, English, Science, etc.) is sharp, especially for your chosen teaching subject.
3. Practice Using Mobile Devices
   Since an Android phone is required, practice reading, navigating, or answering sample questions on mobile devices, so you’re comfortable with the interface.
4. Check Verification Docs
   Ensure your documents (educational certificates, ID, proof of registration) are ready, valid, and correctly presented.
5. Arrive Early & Be Ready
   Aim to arrive at your exam centre ahead of time (by 9:30 a.m., for example). Also ensure your Android phone is fully charged, with sufficient data, as required.
6. Follow Official Instructions
   Follow the instructions given by exam centre officials, including login details distribution, seating arrangement, prohibited items, etc.

What Happens After the CBT Examination

• Results are usually released after grading. Shortlisted candidates will then move to screening/document verification stage.
• Applicants not shortlisted will not be able to progress, so ensure your CBT performance is strong.
• If there are any errors (wrong name, wrong zone, etc.), sometimes PLSUBEB opens windows for corrections, watch official announcements.
• Keep your email, SMS, or phone number active for any correspondence.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Forgetting your valid means of ID or bringing the wrong ID.
• Showing up at wrong examination centre or on wrong date because you misread your zone’s schedule.
• Not having your phone charged or lacking data when required.
• Poor preparation in your subject area.
• Ignoring official updates, schedules may change.

Final Thoughts

The Plateau State SUBEB CBT Examination is a crucial step in the current teacher recruitment process for HOPE-EDU. The exam is resuming as scheduled across three zones in early August 2025. If you have applied, check your zone, ensure your documents and Android phone are ready, then show up at your centre by 10:00 a.m.
