Why Practice with KANOPOLY Past Questions?
In this section, I’m going to discuss a few reasons why practice is important to mastering skills. Firstly, the only way to truly learn a skill is by actually doing what you’ll have to do in the real world. Secondly, I think practice can be a fun way of putting in the necessary hours. However, some people will disagree.
Thirdly, and most importantly, it is said that people tend to remember only 10-20% of what they read or hear. Moreover, that number rises to as much as 90% when you put theory to practice. In conclusion, following up explanation with practice is key to mastering a skill.
Nature of the KANOPOLY Screening Pattern
The Kano State Polytechnic screening exercise for National Diploma (ND) and NCE candidates typically involves a physical verification of documents and, in some cases, a written or computer-based aptitude test.
The subjects usually covered in the aptitude test include:
-
English Language: Lexis, structure, and comprehension.

For HND candidates, the screening is more technical, focusing on the core subjects of your National Diploma field.
