The Oyo State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has announced the dates for its highly anticipated exam, scheduled to take place from Monday, July 29, Wednesday July 31, 2024.
With 62,000 applicants competing for just 7,500 available slots, it’s natural to feel anxious. But I urge you: ignore fear and stay focused.

Preparation Tips
- Practice past questions for Senior School subjects (SSCE, UTME, POST UTME, A’ level)
- Practice past JSCE questions for Junior School subjects (STATE and NECO Junior)
- Familiarize yourself with GMAT reasoning questions, but prioritize other areas
- Focus on answering questions you’re sure of first
A Word of Advice to Science Subjects Applicants
As a mathematician, I understand the tactics involved in science subjects. Be patient and take your time when answering questions. Science requires critical thinking and attention to detail. Don’t rush through questions; instead, break them down and analyze each step carefully.
Important Notes
– SUBEB questions differ from TESCOM questions; prepare accordingly
– Some applicants may encounter questions based on 200-level university courses
– Only 7,500 out of 62,000 invited applicants will be considered.
