Sample Njala University TC Entrance Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Njala University TC Entrance exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 67+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Evaluate the arithmetic expression: 3/4 - (1/3 × 3/5).
A.11/20
B.1/4
C.7/20
D.2/5
Explanation: Perform the multiplication first: 1/3 × 3/5 = 1/5. Then use a common denominator: 3/4 - 1/5 = 15/20 - 4/20 = 11/20.
2A secondary school textbook is listed at NLe 800. If a discount of 15% is granted, how much does a student pay?
A.NLe 720
B.NLe 640
C.NLe 680
D.NLe 700
Explanation: The discount is 0.15 × 800 = NLe 120. Subtracting it from the listed price gives NLe 800 - NLe 120 = NLe 680.
3Solve the linear equation for x: 4x - 7 = 21 + 2x.
A.7
B.14
C.12
D.16
Explanation: Subtract 2x from both sides and add 7 to both sides to obtain 2x = 28. Dividing by 2 gives x = 14, which makes both original sides equal to 49.
4Calculate the area of a trapezium with parallel sides of length 12 cm and 8 cm, and a perpendicular height of 5 cm.
A.100 cm²
B.40 cm²
C.45 cm²
D.50 cm²
Explanation: The area of a trapezium is half the sum of its parallel sides multiplied by its perpendicular height. Thus A = (12 + 8) × 5 / 2 = 50 cm².
5Divide NLe 1,500 among three community schools in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. What is the share allocated to the second school?
A.NLe 300
B.NLe 750
C.NLe 450
D.NLe 500
Explanation: The ratio contains 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 parts, each worth NLe 150. The second school receives three parts, giving 3 × NLe 150 = NLe 450.
6A school has 54 pencils, 90 pens, and 126 erasers. It makes the greatest possible number of identical packs, using every item. How many packs can it make?
A.9
B.18
C.27
D.6
Explanation: The number of identical packs must divide all three quantities, so find their highest common factor. Since 54 = 2 × 3³, 90 = 2 × 3² × 5, and 126 = 2 × 3² × 7, the HCF is 18; each pack has 3 pencils, 5 pens, and 7 erasers.
7The scores obtained by five pupils are 14, 18, 15, 12, and 21. What is the mean score?
A.16
B.15
C.17
D.14
Explanation: The arithmetic mean is the sum of the values divided by their number. The sum is 80, so the mean is 80 / 5 = 16.
8A raffle uses 7 red, 4 blue, and 9 green tickets. Each ticket is equally likely to be selected. What is the probability that the selected ticket is not blue?
A.1/5
B.7/20
C.9/20
D.4/5
Explanation: There are 20 tickets and 7 + 9 = 16 are not blue. Thus P(not blue) = 16/20 = 4/5, also equal to 1 - P(blue).
9The set of pupils attending a maths club is M = {Aminata, Binta, Kadiatu, Musa}. The set attending a reading club is R = {Binta, Idrissa, Kadiatu}. Which set represents M ∩ R?
A.{Binta, Musa}
B.{Binta, Kadiatu}
C.{Aminata, Musa}
D.{Aminata, Binta, Idrissa, Kadiatu, Musa}
Explanation: An intersection contains only members common to both sets. Binta and Kadiatu appear in both club lists, so M ∩ R = {Binta, Kadiatu}.
10Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. A pair of co-interior angles on the same side are (x + 20)° and (2x + 10)°. What is the larger angle?
A.50°
B.70°
C.110°
D.130°
Explanation: Co-interior angles between parallel lines sum to 180°, so x + 20 + 2x + 10 = 180. This gives x = 50 and angles of 70° and 110°; the larger is 110°.

About the Njala University TC Entrance Exam

Independent Njala University Teachers Certificate entrance practice by OpenExamPrep. This limited bank covers secondary-level Mathematics and English using Sierra Leone ministry learning materials. General Studies is an official subject but is not covered here because its entrance-test subtopics could not be verified. These English-language MCQs are a study adaptation, not an official translation, official-format simulation or substitute for writing, speaking, practical or other assessed work. Official assessment languages and item types remain unconfirmed.

Exam sponsor: Njala University. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Njala identifies subject requirements for the TC entrance routes, but the reviewed sources do not specify paper divisions, question types, delivery mode or permitted response languages. Mandatory assignments, oral, practical and case-study components are also unconfirmed; their absence from these pages does not establish that none are required.

Njala University TC Entrance: Suggested Study Strategy

1Work through fractions, percentages, algebra and financial calculations on paper before choosing an answer.
2Draw diagrams for geometry and bearings, and show each step in probability calculations.
3Review tense, concord, punctuation and vocabulary; practise extended reading and writing beyond these MCQs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which entrance route does this page concern?

The Teachers Certificate entrance route, not a common test for every Njala school. Distance-learning and School of Basic Education eligibility statements are presented separately in the linked official sources; ask Njala which applies to you.

Does this bank cover all entrance subjects?

No. It covers selected Mathematics and English skills. General Studies is required in the named entrance routes but has no verified detailed outline in the reviewed sources, so this bank does not invent its subtopics. Experienced teachers should follow their route's stated subjects and obtain General Studies guidance from Njala.

Are the MCQs the official format or an official English translation?

No. This is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation. Official language options and question types remain unconfirmed. Practise written solutions and any writing, speaking or performance tasks required by the university separately.

Is a 2026 entrance sitting or fee confirmed?

The 2026/2027 brochure confirms programme provision, but it does not establish a TC entrance-test date or separate test fee. Do not reuse the fee or date from Njala's separate 2020/2021 Matriculation English Examination. Confirm current instructions directly with the university.
