These are top-notch JAMB secrets you need to know to have a better and more pleasant JAMB result. These JAMB tips are proven strategies that have worked and will continue to have an impact on any JAMBite.
5 Top JAMB Secrets Every JAMB candidate should know
All these secrets won’t work if you don’t effectively carry them out one after the other.
1. Ability to operate the computer
This may sound funny but the fact is, JAMB uses a CBT (Computer-based test is the use of computers to administer tests. Other terminologies used to describe Computer- Based Test (CBT) include:
- Computer Assisted Testing (CAT)
- Computerized Assessment, Computer-Aided Assessment (CAA)
- Computer Based Assessment (CBA)
- Online Assessment
- Web-Based Assessment
- Technology-Enhanced Assessment
- Automation Assessment
- E-Assessment or Test or Examination ) based software.
Where the candidate will have to log in to his/her examination dashboard and start the questions. A candidate that had prepared so hard for the examination but couldn’t operate the computer, how will the candidate apply all that he/she had read for the exam?
The timer on the screen is faster than you thought, if you want to finish everything before the time stops you need to understand how to operate the computer faster. Have you ever thought of why candidates sign up for cyber cafe training? It is not because they are chanced, but they need to be familiar with the computer interface. Technology-based assessment or CBT provides opportunities to measure the complex form of knowledge and reasoning that is not possible to engage and assess through the traditional PPT method.
For instance, a brilliant student who has read and prepared very well for the examination but does not know how to operate a computer, he/she will find it very hard to locate each alphabet on the keyword thereby wasting the time allocated for him/her to finish the questions.
2. E-learning
As eLearning is a paperless way of learning, it protects the environment to a large extent. As per a study done on eLearning courses, it has been found that distance-based learning programs consumed around 90% less power and generated 85% less amount of CO2 emissions as compared to traditional campus-based educational courses.
With eLearning, there is no need to cut trees to obtain paper. Thus, eLearning is a highly eco-friendly way of learning. While studying past questions, you might find some topics which are not written or explained in your handout or textbook. You can always visit the school library to get more books on it. But what if your school didn’t have a library or any advanced books to solve your problem? The cure is to do e-learning.
There are no questions you seek online that you won’t get the answers to. Youtube has over 700,000 educational views as of 2015. Won’t you find your answers there? JAMB is fond of setting questions that are beyond the candidate level. To conquer that, search for 100L past questions of any federal university and study them. Such as Mathematics, Physics, chemistry (for science students), business, accounting, and any other related courses.
Various educators make videos explaining how to effectively answer questions and solve questions easier on Youtube. This means it is a form of e-learning. Don’t forget to dedicate your time to learning rather than the social media lifestyle.
3. Extracurricular lesson
Even though you attend the best and most expensive school, you still need to attend lessons from another school or tutor. Why? The school might not finish the curriculum for the session and will have to promote students to the next level. This is what a tutorial doesn’t do.
Although they may have different students with different memorization and understanding, they will try their best to finish the topic that day and move further the next day. This isn’t to say tutorial is better than school but based on some research and experience, tutorial tends to prove better. Schools teach based on curriculum while lessons/tutorials teach based on past questions and related topics. Between someone who just studied the school notes books and someone who read/studied all the past questions and related topics, who has a higher percentage of succeeding?
4. Meditation/Resting
“All work without play makes jack a dull boy”. Studying without resting makes you lose memories faster. As confirmed, it revealed that during sleep, our synapses relax, staying supple and flexible, which maintains our brain’s neuroplasticity and ability to learn.
After a night of restorative sleep, the participants’ learning efficiency spiked again. But after their night of manipulated sleep, their learning efficiency did not improve as significantly. The morning after a night of manipulated sleep, the participants’ performance was as low as on the evening of the previous day. According to Donald Joel during a Twitter space presentation, said it is advisable to take a nap of 5 mins to break every 20 mins of working or reading.
This will help you keep you pushing rather than being frustrated while studying. Although, there is no exact time to read/study. If you will be okay by night, then sleep or rest very well by afternoon or evening and vice-versa.
5. Prayer
With God, all things are possible’ Go to God in prayer and seek help and directions. There is no amount of time you dedicate to reading and studying, if you don’t also plan a time to worship and praise God, you will find it difficult to attain your goal. The spiritual controls the physical. Get close to God, and you’ll see the result.
