College of Health Technology Zawan Past Questions

If you are reading this article, congratulations are in order. You have taken the first and most critical step toward securing a future in Nigeria’s noble healthcare sector. You are likely aspiring to become a student at the prestigious Plateau State College of Health Technology, Zawan.

The journey to becoming a healthcare professional—whether a Community Health Extension Worker (CHEW), a Medical Laboratory Technician, or a Pharmacist Technician—is not an easy one. It requires dedication, intelligence, and, most importantly, strategic preparation.

At Manny Spark, we understand the anxiety that comes with entrance examinations. We know the pressure of competing against thousands of other qualified candidates for a limited number of admission slots. That is why Dr. Manny has compiled this extensive guide and the definitive Updated Past Questions and Answers Pack to serve as your roadmap to success.

This is not just a blog post; this is a comprehensive manual designed to guide you from the application stage right through to sitting for your exam.

The Reality of Health Admissions in Nigeria

In Nigeria today, the health sector is one of the most sought-after industries. The stability, respect, and opportunity to save lives make it a prime choice for secondary school leavers. However, this popularity comes with a price: fierce competition.

Every year, the College of Health Technology Zawan receives thousands of applications. However, the school has a specific carrying capacity regulated by bodies like the Community Health Practitioners Registration Board of Nigeria (CHPRBN) and the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN). This means that for every 10 people who apply, only a few will get in.

How do they select the best? The Entrance Examination.

This exam is the great filter. It separates those who wish to be health workers from those who are prepared to be health workers. To survive this filter, you cannot rely on luck. You need the Manny Spark advantage.

About the College of Health Technology Zawan

The Plateau State College of Health Technology, Zawan, is often regarded as the “Grandfather” of health technology institutions in Northern Nigeria. It has a rich history of academic excellence and discipline.

Location and Environment

The college is situated in Zawan, a peaceful and culturally rich town in the Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.

For those visiting for the first time, Zawan is distinct from the main Jos city center (Terminus), though it is very accessible. It is located near the famous Bukuru metropolis. The climate in Zawan is typical of the Jos Plateau—cool, breezy, and temperate. It is arguably one of the best weather conditions for studying in Nigeria. You won’t be battling the intense heat found in Maiduguri or the humidity of Lagos while trying to read your books.

• Landmarks: The college is in close proximity to the Vom Christian Hospital and the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru.

• Safety: Zawan is generally considered a safe and student-friendly community with affordable housing and food.

Why Choose CHT Zawan?

1. Accreditation: Almost all courses at the college are fully accredited by their respective national boards.

2. Facilities: The school boasts functional laboratories, a demonstration clinic, and a library stocked with relevant medical texts.

3. Reputation: Graduates of Zawan are highly respected in the labor market. When you present a certificate from Zawan at a hospital or primary health center, it commands respect.

Detailed Overview of Courses and Departments

One of the most common mistakes students make is applying for a course they do not understand. At Manny Spark, we believe in informed decisions. Here is a detailed breakdown of what you can study at Zawan.

Community Health (CHEW/JCHEW)

This is perhaps the most popular department.

• CHEW (Community Health Extension Worker): A 3-year Diploma program. CHEWs are the backbone of primary healthcare in Nigeria. They treat common ailments, manage clinics, and carry out immunization campaigns.

• JCHEW (Junior Community Health Extension Worker): A 2-year Certificate program. This is an entry-level position that involves assisting CHEWs and handling basic health tasks.

Medical Laboratory Science (MLT)

• Course: Medical Laboratory Technician.

• Duration: 3 Years.

• Role: You will be trained to work in diagnostic labs. Your job will involve collecting samples (blood, urine, etc.) and running tests to detect diseases like Malaria, Typhoid, and HIV. Precision is key here.

Pharmacy Technician <a name=”pharmacy”></a>

• Duration: 3 Years.

• Role: You will work under a licensed Pharmacist to dispense medication, manage drug inventory, and counsel patients on how to take their drugs. This requires a strong grasp of Chemistry and Biology.

Environmental Health

• Courses: HND in Environmental Health Technology and Environmental Health Assistant.

• Role: Often called “Wole Wole” or Health Inspectors. These professionals ensure our water is clean, our food is safe, and our environment is free from disease vectors.

Health Information Management (HIM)

• Duration: 3 Years.

• Role: This is the IT side of health. HIM professionals manage patient records, statistics, and data. In the digital age, this is a fast-growing career path.

Dental and Radiology

• Dental Surgery Technician: Focuses on oral health and assisting dentists.

• X-Ray Technician: Focuses on medical imaging to help doctors see inside the human body.

Admission Requirements and Eligibility

Before you rush to buy the form, ensure you are eligible. The standard requirements for College of Health Technology Zawan are strictly adhered to.

General Requirements:

• You must be at least 16 years of age.

• You must have a passion for saving lives.

Academic Requirements (O’Level): You need five (5) credit passes in WAEC, NECO, or GCE. These results must be obtained in not more than two sittings. The compulsory subjects are:

1. English Language (Communication is vital in medicine).

2. Mathematics (needed for drug calculations and lab stats).

3. Biology (The study of life).

4. Chemistry (Essential for Pharmacy and Lab Tech).

5. Physics (Crucial for Radiology and understanding equipment).

Note: For JCHEW and some certificate courses, passes in Physics and Chemistry may sometimes be accepted, but credits are always preferred.

The Entrance Examination: Structure and Format structure

Knowing the enemy is half the victory. The entrance exam for Zawan is designed to test your speed, accuracy, and foundational knowledge.

• Mode of Exam: It is typically a Paper-Based Test (PBT), shading answers on an OMR sheet, though candidates should be mentally prepared for Computer Based Tests (CBT) as technology upgrades occur.

• Duration: Usually between 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.

• Total Questions: This varies, but typically ranges from 50 to 100 questions.

The Subject Combination: The exam does not test you on advanced medical knowledge (that is what you are going there to learn). Instead, it tests your secondary school science knowledge.

1. Use of English: Synonyms, Antonyms, Lexis and Structure.

2. Mathematics: General Math (Algebra, Geometry, Statistics).

3. General Science: A mix of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics questions.

4. Current Affairs/General Knowledge: Basic knowledge about Nigeria and the health sector.

 Why You Must Study with Past Questions

I often tell my students at Manny Spark: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

The syllabus for WAEC is vast. You cannot possibly read every single topic in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics a week before the Zawan exam. This is where the College of Health Technology Zawan Past Questions come in.

The “Repeated Question” Phenomenon: Examiners are human. They often recycle questions from previous years or rephrase them slightly. By studying past questions, you might walk into the exam hall and see 10 or 15 questions you have already solved. That is free marks.

Benefits of the Manny Spark Pack:

• Insight: You will understand the style of questioning. Are the questions direct or tricky?

• Focus: You will know which topics are “Hot Topics” (e.g., Reproductive System in Biology is asked almost every year).

• Speed: You can practice timing yourself.

Strategic Study Plan by Dr. Manny

Getting the past questions is step one. Using them correctly is step two. Here is a 4-week study plan I recommend for all my candidates:

Week 1: Assessment & Biology Focus

• Take a practice test using the Manny Spark Past Question pack without studying. Score yourself. This shows your weak areas.

• Spend the rest of the week reading up on Human Anatomy (Digestive, Respiratory, Reproductive systems).

Week 2: Mathematics & Chemistry

• Many health students neglect Math. Don’t be them. Practice Algebra and Statistics.

• For Chemistry, focus on Organic Chemistry basics and Separation Techniques.

Week 3: English & Physics

• Brush up on your grammar. Learn the rules of Concord (Subject-Verb agreement).

• For Physics, focus on Motion, Heat, and Waves.

Week 4: Mock Exams

• Every day, simulate the exam conditions. Set a timer for 1 hour. Answer 50 questions from the Manny Spark pack.

• Review your mistakes immediately.

Tip: Form a study group with friends who are also applying, but ensure you spend more time solving questions than chatting!
