JAMB exam preparation tips for 2022 UTME candidates

4 Smart Ways to Maximize Your Final Weeks Before UTME

  1. Eliminate Panic & Fear: Anxiety drains your memory retention. Calm your mind and channel your energy into daily topic targets.
  2. Follow the Official JAMB Syllabus & a Strict Timetable: Allocate extra hours to calculation-heavy subjects like Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry (or your weakest subjects), and stick strictly to topics listed in the official JAMB syllabus so you don't waste time on out-of-syllabus chapters.
  3. Cut Out Phone & Social Media Distractions: Put social media notifications and games completely out of reach during your study blocks.
  4. Drill Over 60,000 JAMB Past Questions Daily: Because JAMB tests recurring core concepts every year, practicing past questions with detailed explanations on the Mentra JAMB CBT app (available on both Android and iOS) helps you recognize familiar question patterns instantly in the hall.
