It was gathered that the state recorded the highest number of pupils writing the exam this year, with a total of 175,320 pupils sitting for the state screening and placement exercise into junior secondary schools across the state for the 2022/2023 academic session.

Records state that 170,640 pupils wrote the examination in 2020/2021 while 160,755 pupils sat for the exam in the 2019/2020 academic session.
