Welcome to Academium Surepass

Academium Surepass is a computer-based testing (CBT) and practice app. Schools and tutorial centres use it to set tests and exams on computers, and students use it to practise for exams such as WAEC, NECO and JAMB.

This help centre explains Surepass in plain language: how to set it up, how to use it day to day, and what to do when something does not work as expected.

What you can do with Surepass

  • Run tests and exams on computers. Build a test from your question bank, schedule it for a class, and watch it live while students sit it in your computer lab.
  • Mark it for you. Objective questions are marked as soon as a student submits. Theory answers are marked by a teacher on one screen.
  • Practise for exams. Students practise with past WAEC, NECO and JAMB questions, with answers and explanations.
  • Keep students motivated. XP, ranks, rewards, goals, a leaderboard and fast "drill" games make practice something students come back to.
  • Learn to type. Typing lessons help students get comfortable on a keyboard before they sit a CBT exam.
  • Follow progress. Teachers, parents and students each see reports that show how practice and results are going.

Finding your way around this help centre

Guides are arranged in the order you will need them: getting started, setting up, signing in, then one section for each item in the Surepass menu.

Surepass looks different for each type of account. Use the filter on the help centre home page to choose your account type, application and computer, and the guides that do not apply to you are hidden.

With Academium SMS

Surepass is part of the Academium family. Academium SMS runs the rest of the school: admissions, attendance, fees, staff and report cards. When a school uses both, Surepass uses SMS's classes, students and staff, and sends CBT scores back to SMS for report cards. See Surepass and Academium SMS.
