OAU Mid-Semester Tests for Fresh Students: January 19-24, 2026 (CBT for Large Classes)
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) has announced the schedule for mid-semester tests for fresh students during the 2025/2026 academic session. All fresh students should prepare for tests between January 19 and 24, 2026.
Test Schedule
- Dates: January 19-24, 2026
- Target Students: Fresh students (100 Level)
Important Policy Change: Computer-Based Testing (CBT)
OAU has introduced a major change to assessment procedures. All courses with enrollment exceeding 250 students must now conduct tests using Computer-Based Testing (CBT). This applies to both mid-semester tests and end-of-semester examinations.
The university implemented this policy to ensure "efficient, credible, and technology-driven assessment processes." If your course has more than 250 students enrolled, expect your test to be conducted via CBT instead of traditional paper-based methods.
What Students Should Do
- Confirm your test dates and venues from your faculty or department
- Check if your courses require CBT (courses with 250+ students)
- Familiarize yourself with OAU's CBT system if you'll take computer-based tests
- Arrive early on test days to avoid technical or logistical delays

Why This Matters
Mid-semester tests contribute to your continuous assessment scores, which typically account for 30-40% of your final grade. Missing these tests or performing poorly can significantly affect your overall course performance.
For students in large-enrollment courses, the shift to CBT means you need to be comfortable with computer-based testing. If you're unfamiliar with CBT, practice using OAU's system or ask senior students for guidance before test day.
