Question 1

How do I get SmarTest?

Accepted Answer

Download the desktop app for Windows, Mac or Linux from our downloads page, or install the Android app (APK, also on the downloads page). iOS is in development — join the waitlist on the downloads page to be notified. You can also search past questions free on this website, and join the free SmarTest Community at prep.smartest.ng.

Question 2

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

No. Open the app and start studying immediately — no account, no sign-up, no email required. Your progress is stored on your device.

Question 3

What is free, and what needs an activation code?

Accepted Answer

The past-question search on this website and the SmarTest Community at prep.smartest.ng are free. The full desktop and Android apps — with the complete learning path, animated lessons, AI tutor, worked explanations and offline mode — are unlocked with an activation code. Each code activates one device. If you don't have a code yet, contact us at support@smartest.ng or use the chat button on this page and we'll get you set up.

Question 4

Which exams and subjects does SmarTest cover?

Accepted Answer

SmarTest covers JAMB UTME, WAEC SSCE and NECO SSCE across 26 subjects, including Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Government and Literature. Past questions span 2000 to 2025 — over 22,000 in total — and you can search the full JAMB bank free at smartest.ng/past-questions.

Question 5

Does SmarTest work without internet?

Accepted Answer

Yes, fully. Once you install the app and download your subjects (a one-time step inside the app), everything works completely offline — lessons, past questions, mock exams, flashcards and progress tracking. No data needed.

Question 6

How does the adaptive engine work?

Accepted Answer

As you answer questions, SmarTest tracks which topics you consistently miss. It then reweights your practice sessions to include more questions from those weak areas and fewer from your strong ones, and updates your per-topic mastery as you improve. Each session adapts to you — not a random shuffle of questions.

Question 7

The app crashes on startup. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

On Android, first confirm your version is 8.0 or higher (Settings → About Phone). Otherwise, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If the issue persists, contact us with the chat button below or email support@smartest.ng — we read every message.

Question 8

Questions are not loading — a subject shows empty.

Accepted Answer

Open the Download Manager inside the app (from the sidebar or settings) and tap Install next to the subjects you need. That downloads the question bundles to your device — a one-time step per subject, and it works offline afterwards.

Question 9

Will my progress survive if I reinstall the app?

Accepted Answer

Progress is stored locally on your device, so reinstalling clears it. Before uninstalling, use the Backup feature in the app settings — it creates a backup file you can restore from after reinstalling.
