You can get the NABTEB scratch card at any of the NABTEB zonal offices across the country. Candidates can also purchase the scratch card from any branch office of Fountain Trust Bank Plc. The scratch card is sold for 250 naira which is the NABTEB approved price for selling scratch cards.
Every scratch card can be used to check results five times. After using a scratch card for more than 5 times to check your result, you will need to buy a new one. It is vital to also note that you cannot use one scratch card to check different exam types.
If you have used a scratch card to check an exam written in May/June, it cannot be used to check the result of an exam written in November/December. In addition, it is one candidate per scratch card. Such that if a candidate has used a card before, even if they have more trials, another candidate will not be able to use theirs.

Always enter a valid email when you are trying to check your result. It will save you the pain of misusing your scratch card trials. Furthermore, whether you are sure of passing or not, ensure you tick the “Send Results to E-mail” box, so you do not have to use more scratch card tries.
