Do you intend to take the 2020 JAMB UTME? Do you want a blatantly excellent outcome? If you answered yes, continue reading.
In Nigeria, the JAMB exam is a significant higher education entrance examination. Every year, over one million people take the JAMB exam. One unthinkable and resounding dilemma about the JAMB exam is that any mistake during the exam can cost you an extra year before being admitted to university.
This post is not about how to pass your JAMB exam and get an invitation to the JAMB post-UME. If you are looking for the above-mentioned post, I recommend you read the post below before proceeding.
I will focus on how to approach JAMB mathematics during the JAMB exam in a way that will help you score very high. For most students taking the JAMB exam, JAMB math has been a nightmare. It is not always a lack of ability in JAMB maths that causes a problem, but rather the inability of many students to answer their JAMB maths exam in an effective and efficient manner without affecting their overall time allotted for the exam.
Time and management are significant factors that cause students to score poorly on the JAMB exam, and little attention has been paid to how to best manage this issue. You may find yourself cutting into time allotted for other JAMB subjects as a result of overspending on the JAMB maths exam.
It is critical to maintain focus and manage your time effectively. Remember that most JAMB exam centers do not allow the use of calculators in the exam hall, so you must use your brain to solve simple arithmetic.
Which JAMB Subject Should I Begin With?
Apart from JAMB English language, which is a compulsory JAMB subject that all candidates must take, three other subjects are optional, depending on the university program you have chosen. There is no right or wrong answer as to which subject to begin with, but it is best to begin with subjects that you are familiar with.
Being in your comfort zone when it comes to JAMB subjects will increase your speed and ability to tackle JAMB questions. This pattern will continue from subject to subject until the questions are completed.
Jump Unfamiliar Question
Another proven trick that will help you save valuable and precious time during your JAMB maths exam is the ability to jump over questions that you do not understand on first glance or questions that will take greater time to solve.
Leaving unfamiliar questions will give you complete control over your JAMB maths exam because once you have completed the simple and known questions, you will be able to devote your time to solving the difficult JAMB maths questions you left behind. The advantage now is that you are not under any pressure to answer the questions, and with your level of concentration, many ideas on how to best solve the questions will keep popping into your head.
Taking these factors into account and sticking to them during your JAMB maths exam can go a long way toward helping you improve your JAMB maths result.
