The University of Liberia’s Center for Testing and Evaluation (CTE) has released results of the November 22, 2025, Entrance and Placement Examination, showing a notable rise in female performance. Out of 7,998 candidates who sat the undergraduate exam, 3,277—or 40.97 percent—earned a passing score.
CTE data reveals that 1,747 female candidates (53.31 percent) passed, compared to 1,530 males (46.69 percent). This marks a slight increase from the July 2025 exam, when 50.41 percent of successful candidates were female.
The November results also reflect improved overall performance. In July, only 24 percent of the 12,516 candidates passed, while 76 percent failed. By contrast, the latest exam saw nearly 41 percent succeed, with 54.25 percent unsuccessful.
Of the 8,308 candidates registered for the undergraduate exam, 310 (3.73 percent) were absent. Among those who sat, 380 (4.75 percent) were disqualified for shading errors, and two (0.03 percent) for malpractice. Notably, all four visually impaired candidates who took the paper-based test passed successfully.
CTE emphasized that candidates must score at least 60 percent in Mathematics and 70 percent in English to be considered successful.
At the David A. Stratz-Sinje Technical and Vocational College, 69 candidates registered, with 65 sitting the exam. Of these, 41 (63.08 percent) passed, while others qualified for remedial programs in Mathematics, English, or both.
Graduate and Law School Aptitude Tests
For the Graduate School Aptitude Test, 229 candidates registered, with 218 sitting. Of that number, 132 (60.55 percent) passed. Male candidates accounted for 67.42 percent of successful results, while females represented 32.58 percent.
The Louis Arthur Grimes School of Law Aptitude Test recorded 310 registrations, with 298 candidates sitting. Only 101 (33.89 percent) passed, while 196 (65.77 percent) failed. One candidate was disqualified for misconduct. Male candidates dominated the successful group, accounting for 67.31 percent, compared to 32.69 percent female.
The T.J.R. Faulkner College of Science and Technology produced the highest number of successful undergraduate candidates, with 1,304 (39.79 percent). The A. Romeo Horton College of Business and Public Administration followed with 1,163 (35.49 percent).
The November 2025 exam underscores a continuing trend of female academic achievement at the University of Liberia. With women making up the majority of successful candidates for the second consecutive sitting, the results highlight shifting dynamics in higher education access and performance.
