Computer Assisted Screening (CAS) — What to Expect
The LASCON admission screening is conducted as a Computer Based Test (CBT), not a paper-based examination. Candidates who meet the requirements and complete their application before the deadline will be invited to sit this test.
Screening Details:
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Date | Saturday, 22nd August 2026 |
| Time | 8:00 AM (arrive by 7:30 AM) |

Subjects Tested at the CAS
The screening examination covers six subjects:

- Current Affairs
Candidates who perform well on the CBT will be invited for an oral interview with a panel of senior nursing officers. Both the CBT score and the interview are used in the final selection.
How to Prepare
- Review your SS1–SS3 textbooks, especially Biology and Chemistry — these carry the most weight for nursing programmes
- Practice with JAMB past questions for English, Mathematics, and the science subjects
- Familiarise yourself with computer-based testing — if you have never taken a CBT exam before, practice on JAMB’s practice platform before the screening date
- Stay updated on current affairs, particularly in health and education
