How To Pass JAMB Successfully Without Expo (Jambite Must Read)

As the music for 2017/2018 Joint Admission And Matriculation Examination Board (JAMB) is setting some sort of waves in the air, many have started panicking already . Don’t panic because if you do that’s where your failure is going to start.

Once you develop the mindset of fear towards something , your failure starts at that instant. JAMB is just an exam, it doesn’t determine your future,you are the only one that can determine your future and by developing such mindset towards JAMB you are uttering with your future NEGATIVELY.

You can score above 270 in JAMB without cheating if you can sit-down ,read and develop the mindset of not failing . I keep on highlighting on this “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

Why must you say that you aren’t going to score up to this so so so and so mark in JAMB ? why are you limiting yourself ? Aim higher and work towards it so that EVEN if you fail ,you fail averagely.

Preparing for JAMB requires strong mental work and reading. I will be outlining some tips that will help you land into your dream course with this upcoming JAMB.

1. PRACTICE PAST JAMB QUESTION: Get hold of and study regularly past JAMB exams question papers to get a feel of what’s required and to see how well you could cope with the previous exams. The best preparation is working through past papers and looking at your syllabus to avoid any surprises.

In my time, I used the One Time Success series and they were very helpful. You can get any of the numerous past JAMB question paper series in the bookshops. It will do you a lot good.

2.Minimize The Use of Social media s: It is advisable to reduce to the bare minimum your use of social network sites and tools when you are preparing for exams as they KILL an unimaginable amount of your study time. If you are the type that can’t help always getting online these social networks, try as much as you can to strike a balance between the time you spend on these social networks and your study time.

Invest most of your time on your studies rather than chatting away your time on WhatsApp and Facebook . A word is enough for the wise.

3.Adhere To Instructions: During the exam, carefully read the instructions on your computer all the way through and make sure you know exactly what you have to do before you start. When you are ready to start, read each question more than once to make sure it really does say what you think it says.

If you encounter any difficulty with your computer, call the attention of the CBT centre operator or the JAMB supervisor.

4. Don’t Hope on “Runs”: One serious problem plaguing the Nigeria’s Education system is wide spread exam malpractice which seems to have eaten deep into the university matriculation examination organized by JAMB. Because of the way some of the beneficiaries of this misconduct go scot-free and the way these “runs” are publicly advertised, more and more JAMBites are tempted to join the cheating game. But mind you, apart from the long term effects of exam malpractice, most candidates that involve in such act end up disappointed when the result is released and they realized they were duped. I can pass JAMB so well without expo,beat your chest and say that twice.

Take note, anybody that encourages you to subscribe to any illegal business is only after your money. They are majorly scammers! Don’t hope or depend on expo or any other form of JAMB runs to be successful in your JAMB exam. Just go for the exam well prepared and with confidence, you‘ll surely sail through.

5. With God All Things are Possible: At the end of the exam, don’t trouble yourself trying to verify the correctness of the answers you supplied during the exam as it will do you no good.

Always put God first in anything you do. Be in touch with him when you prepare for your exams, during the exam, after the exam and always. You‘ll surely not regret you did.

Other Recommendations.

The Use of English is the only subject that is compulsory for every candidate that writes JAMB and a good performance in the Use of English will surely influence ones overall score. Therefore, make sure you read the recommended text, “Independence ” by Sarah Ladipo Mayinka. as questions will be asked from it.

I also recommend “Catch-Up English Language for SSCE/UME” by Prof. Peter Okebukola et al. as a perfect guide and companion for all JAMBites.
