An applicant who wrote the test at a centre in Zango Kattaf Local Government Area of the state, told Daily Sun  that many centres in his area started earlier and had since finished writing the test.

The test was conducted by the Kaduna State Universal Basic Education Board (KADSUBEB).

Applicants were seen being despatched to their classes and getting ready to start. Things were more orderly at some of the centres visited.
