School of Basic Midwifery Akure Past Questions and Answers

The decision to become a midwife is a decision to save lives. It is a noble calling that stands at the very center of healthcare—ensuring that mothers and infants survive the birthing process safely. However, in Nigeria, the path to this noble profession is paved with rigorous academic challenges, starting with the entrance examination.

The School of Basic Midwifery, Akure, is one of the most sought-after health institutions in South-West Nigeria. Thousands of applicants vie for a limited number of slots every year. The difference between the candidate who gets that admission letter and the one who tries again next year is rarely just intelligence; it is preparation.

At Manny Spark, we have analyzed the trends of nursing and midwifery education in Nigeria for over a decade. As Dr. Manny, I have personally mentored hundreds of students. I have seen brilliant students fail because they studied the wrong things, and I have seen average students excel because they had the right tools—specifically, authentic past questions.

This article is not just a sales pitch; it is a comprehensive guide designed to walk you through everything you need to know about the School of Basic Midwifery, Akure, and how to conquer their entrance exam.

About the School of Basic Midwifery, Akure

To succeed, you must know your target. The School of Basic Midwifery (SOBM), Akure, is not just a school; it is a training ground for excellence.

Location and Strategic Importance

The school is situated in Akure, the capital city of Ondo State. Specifically, it is located within the premises of the State Specialist Hospital, Akure.

• Address: School of Basic Midwifery, State Specialist Hospital Complex, Hospital Road, Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria.

This location is strategic. By being inside a major specialist hospital, students are not isolated in classrooms. From your first year, you are immersed in a clinical environment. You hear the sirens, you see the patients, and you observe the real-world application of what you learn in class.

Facilities and Learning Environment

The Ondo State Government has invested significantly in the health sector. The school boasts:

• Modern Demonstration Rooms: Equipped with mannequins for simulating childbirth and patient care.

• ICT Centre: For computer-based testing and research.

• Library: Stocked with current medical and nursing texts.

• Student Hostels: Located within or near the school premises to ensure safety and foster a community of learning.

The Basic Midwifery Programme Explained

The programme is a three-year intensive course. It is regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN).

• Year 1: Focuses on basic sciences, anatomy, physiology, and foundations of nursing.

• Year 2: dives deeper into midwifery proper—antenatal care, intranatal care (labor), and postnatal care.

• Year 3: Advanced midwifery, complications in labor, community midwifery, and preparation for the Council Examination.

Upon completion, you are inducted as a Registered Midwife (RM), a license that is recognized globally.

Admission Requirements: Are You Eligible?

Before purchasing the past questions, ensure you meet the criteria. The School of Basic Midwifery Akure maintains strict standards.

General Requirements:

1. O’Level Credits: You must possess five (5) credits in WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB in not more than two sittings.

   • Mandatory Subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

   • Note: You can combine WAEC and NECO. NABTEB results are usually accepted but often cannot be combined with WAEC/NECO (check specific year instructions).

2. Age Limit: Candidates must be at least 17 years old by the time of admission.

3. Citizenship: Open to Nigerians, though preference is often given to indigenes of Ondo State or those resident in the state, merit always takes precedence.

Pro Tip from Dr. Manny: Ensure your names on your O’Level certificate match your birth certificate and other documents perfectly. Discrepancies can lead to disqualification.

 The Entrance Examination: What to Expect

This is the hurdle you must cross. The entrance exam is designed to test your speed, accuracy, and foundational knowledge.

Exam Mode (CBT vs. PPT)

In recent years, most health institutions, including SOBM Akure, have shifted towards Computer Based Tests (CBT) to ensure transparency and speed of results. However, you should also be prepared for a Paper-Pencil Test (PPT) just in case technical logistics require it.

• CBT implication: You cannot “shade” answers and come back easily. You need to be decisive.

Subject Combination

The exam usually consists of 100 questions (subject to change) covering:

1. English Language: (20-25 Questions)

2. Biology: (20-25 Questions)

3. Chemistry: (15-20 Questions)

4. Physics: (15-20 Questions)

5. Mathematics: (10 Questions)

6. Current Affairs/General Knowledge: (10 Questions)

Time Management

You typically have roughly 1 minute or less per question. This is why practicing with Manny Spark’s Past Questions is vital. You don’t just need to know the answer; you need to know it instantly.

Why You Need the Updated Past Questions

Many students ask, “Can’t I just read my textbook?” Yes, you can. But imagine trying to find a specific house in Akure without a map. You might find it eventually, but you will waste time and energy.

Past Questions are your Map.

1. The Power of Repetition: Educational research shows that examiners often recycle questions. A Chemistry question from 2018 might appear word-for-word in the upcoming exam. If you have seen it before, you save time.

2. Understanding the Examiner’s Psychology: By studying past papers, you realize that SOBM Akure loves specific topics. For example, they prioritize Reproduction in Biology and Organic Chemistry in Chemistry.

3. Boosting Confidence: Anxiety is the killer of success. Walking into the exam hall knowing the format reduces your heart rate and clears your mind.

Advanced Study Techniques for Success

Owning the Manny Spark past questions is the first step. Here is how to use them effectively.

The Manny Spark Study Method:

1. The “Blind” Attempt: Pick a year (e.g., 2019 Past Questions). Attempt the questions without looking at the answers. Mark yourself honestly. If you score 40/100, do not panic. That is your baseline.

2. The Review Phase: Go through every question you missed. Why did you miss it? Did you not know the topic, or did you make a mistake?

3. Topical Reading: If you missed 3 questions on “Electrolysis” in Chemistry, stop practicing. Go to your textbook (e.g., New School Chemistry) and read the chapter on Electrolysis.

4. The Re-Test: A week later, attempt that same year again. You should aim for 90/100.

Creating a Timetable:

• Mondays & Wednesdays: Biology & English.

• Tuesdays & Thursdays: Chemistry & Physics.

• Fridays: Mathematics & Current Affairs.

• Weekends: Full Mock Exams using Manny Spark Past Questions.

The Oral Interview Stage: Beyond the Written Exam

Getting a high score in the entrance exam qualifies you for the Oral Interview. This is where many candidates are dropped.

The interview panel at the School of Basic Midwifery Akure will assess:

• Confidence: Can you speak clearly and maintain eye contact?

• Passion: Why do you want to be a midwife? (Don’t just say “because I like it” or “my parents forced me”).

• Knowledge: They may ask basic oral questions on current affairs or biology.

Bonus Offer: When you purchase the N5,000 past question pack from Manny Spark, I include a FREE PDF Guide on “How to Ace Nursing School Interviews,” covering dress code, common questions, and best answers.
