Before you sit it

How PUTME Commerce is set.

Post-UTME Screening sets 40 questions in Commerce, answered in 40 minutes — about 60 seconds a question. Practising against that clock is the part most candidates skip, and it is the part that costs marks.

We hold 362 published Commerce questions spanning 2011 to 2025. You can practise any single year’s paper, or sit a full timed mock that mirrors the real interface — the navigator, the flags and the auto-submit included.

Every question you get wrong comes back the next day, then at longer gaps until it sticks, and your home page leads with your weakest subjects.
