Tips on How to Pass JAMB

By Emmanuel Enyeribe

Are you a candidate for JAMB this year? Don't get worried. Here are wonderful tips on what to do to pass JAMB. First and foremost you have to know that it is a Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board examination which means that they set there questions based on platform of the board. If you know that, it's an advantage.

*JAMB as a board will never start selling their forms for at least four to five months to the exams. Which means that they expect you to prepare for at least four months prior to the examination date. Most candidates will never know that, until it is a week to the exam and you see them reading.

*JAMB expects you to use four months to study to make 400 marks. On the examination, you are expected to use 3 hrs 15 minutes for the whole exercise. What I am driving at is the key behind JAMB success. You are expected to study for at least four months, work hard to achieve 400 or close. Some candidates will never pass JAMB because they don't know this.

*As a JAMBite, you are expected to use a tool known as tutorials, they help a lot. It will be a shame if all you go there to do is fashion. Be focused so that focus will not lose you. Make friends that will you grow during your tutorials.

*Read good materials: I will urge you to start reading material that will be of good to you during this period. There are four subjects in this exam. I have done my research and I still find one book fit for excellence in JAMB's use of English - ''THE INVINCIBLE TEACHER''. There are others like the formulas of English and others. Do some research about other books in other subjects, borrow if possible, but make sure you use them to your own advantage.

*Always go early to the exam center, and make sure all your papers are complete before going. Interact with your co-candidates and see how things will work out well.

*Before the examination, always test your ability of how well you are prepared towards the examination. You can give yourself a mock test, or an IQ test, which will evaluate your abilities to the exam.

*This examination will test your speed and adaptive features on how you answer the questions, so you should make sure you use your time very well during your study and learn to adapt to the ways the questions are twisted.

*JAMB'S past questions are questions of past JAMB exams. It will be very good if you can buy them and use them very well. It exposes you to the type of questions they use, techniques and styles of setting their questions. They don't cost much, so be on your way to pass this year's JAMB colourfully.
