It baffles me a lot whenever I meet with Jambites who
struggle to score barely 200 in JAMB. I begin to ask
myself, “What is so difficult about JAMB that lots of
students struggle with it?” From my findings, I discovered
that lots of students are not knowledgeable about how to
pass JAMB and pass it very well.
It is not as difficult as most students think. As a result of
this, I decided to come up with this write-up which I
titled “7 Secrets of getting 280 and above in JAMB.” The
seven secrets are discussed below;
1. Set a Target
Personally, I believe that there is nothing impossible that
one cannot achieve. In scoring 280 and above in UTME
exam, the first step is for you to believe you can achieve
and set a target on the score you want to have in the end
of the day.
Overtime, I have observed that most students do not have
a specific score they want to have in the JAMB. All they
do is just to read without a specific target. However, I
always encourage Jambites to set very high score as their
target. Setting a target will help you to be focused on
what you want to achieve in the exam.
2. Study Smart
It is not all about studying hard; it is about studying
smart. Kindly get the JAMB syllabus and past questions,
studying closing to identify the core topics JAMB often
repeat year in year out. If you can study those topics very
well, I think the job is half way done. Also, understand
your study pattern and not emulate friends. I used to
have friends who loved drinking lots of water whenever
they were studying. Hence, it is left for you to learn to
study smart in preparing for the exam.
3. Practice
I remember practicing my JAMB past questions up to a
point where I knew almost all the answers off hand. I
had different forms of past questions for every of my
subjects. What I am trying to point out is it is very
important for you to practice very closely especially the
JAMB past question because it will expose you to the
patterns of questions set by JAMB. Also it has been
proven over time that JAMB repeats questions from
previous years. You can be fortunate to come across such
questions during your exam.
4. Do not Cheat
The prevalent thing among Jambites is relying on
different forms of examination malpractices to score
very high in the exam. But unfortunately for them, they
end up having very low scores despite the exam
malpractices.
If you want to indeed score 280 and above in JAMB and
eventually gain the much-desired admission, stay away
from exam malpractices before, during and after the
exam. Funny enough, majority of courses taken by year-
one students are topics selected from JAMB syllabus. So if
you fail to study now, if you still encounter those topics
even after you gained admission through the back door.
5. Rest
I know this point may seem unnecessary to you, but it is
of great importance if you truly want to perform very
well in your UTME exam. The problem most studious
students do have is their inability to set out time to have
some rest. The human brain is often stressed a lot by
constant study.
Hence, it is advisably for you to always take intermittent
rest. It looks so funny to me whenever I meet students
who study all night a day to their JAMB exam. To me,
such study places sheer pressure on them. A day to your
JAMB exam is for you to take out time to rest and
ruminate on what you have studied over time.
6. Gist with Friends
The popular saying that ‘no man is an Island’ is
applicable in this situation. As a jambites do not isolate
yourself. Make friends with fellow Jambites and exchange
ideas with them because you can never know everything
on your own. However, do not make friends with the
dullards who would draw you back all in the name of
making friends; make friends with those you will learn a
great deal from.
I remember when I was preparing for JAMB in 2011, I
encountered a group of guys at the public library where I
used to study. These guys were very intelligent and I
learnt a lot from them. Aside learning from friends,
making good friends helps you to be abreast with any
latest rumour or news about the exam. I know a lot of
people who could have performed very well in JAMB if
they had been exposed to timely information.
7. God Factor
The God-factor can never be ruled out. In everything you
do, put God first. The bare truth is you need God’s
direction when preparing to score 280 and above in
JAMB. As a matter of fact, such feat is attainable even
without any ‘special centre’ during the exam. Personally,
I do not support or encourage students to enrol for
‘special centre’ for exams; I always believe in merit.
