Every JAMB aspirant may not need anything else, but they need textbooks to study. When we say textbook, we don’t mean any other textbook, but rather JAMB-approved textbooks. These textbooks approved by JAMB are the only textbooks that you can trust their contents and look forward to seeing questions from them in JAMB.

Using a textbook is essential if you want to prepare for JAMB, as it helps you while revising the work done in your JAMB lessons because it allows the aspirant to have comprehensive details of what was taught in the JAMB classes.

2. Make a viable Timetable

When you want to read for JAMB, you don’t just start reading without direction. There must be a pattern to follow, and a subject to be revised and studied.

The use of a timetable brings orderliness to studying and it allows efficient revising of any work done in the JAMB lesson centres.

Because with four subjects to be written in JAMB, there is more flexibility to the reading process, and chances are that you can easily revise each work done every day in the JAMB lesson.

The timetable may not necessarily be written and posted somewhere. Once you have a pattern that you follow in reading be it revising every work done at the JAMB lesson centre every day, then it’s your pattern, and consistency in doing it will pay off.

3. A good study environment

Different strokes for folks. Some people prefer to read in very quiet places, while some people read best when there is noise around them. There are also those who prefer to read with music.

So, it’s important that you identify that place of reading that suits you best and follow it, to avoid being derailed from your set target, which is passing JAMB with a high mark. Do you!

4. Incorporate the JAMB syllabus into your study schedule

Using the JAMB syllabus will be one of the most important decisions you will make in this journey to getting a high score in JAMB.

The JAMB syllabus is a book that contains all the topics of different subjects to be written in JAMB. So you will be sure that you are not reading a topic that won’t be asked in JAMB, and that will also guide you in your JAMB lessons, especially if your JAMB lesson tutor is derailing (i.e teaching a topic that is not on the JAMB syllabus), you can call him to order privately.

Won’t it be better if you are reading the JAMB-approved areas of concentration? The JAMB syllabus will guide you on that.
