Every UTME candidate dreams of scoring 300+ to stand out during university admissions, but achieving a top score requires deliberate preparation and smart execution inside the CBT hall.
5 Practical Strategies to Ace Your 2021 JAMB UTME
- Study With a Sense of Urgency: Set clear daily topic targets from the official JAMB syllabus rather than reading randomly without a plan.
- Build a Consistent Study Habit: Study in an environment where you concentrate best, keep a dedicated jotter for key formulas, dates, and definitions, and never skip a tough concept until you understand it.
- Practice Past Questions Under Timed Conditions: Past questions show you how JAMB frames questions from your textbooks and expose your blind spots. Always solve the questions yourself before checking the answers, using the Mentra JAMB CBT app (available on both Android and iOS).
- Confront Your Weakest Subject Head-On: Don't spend 90% of your time reading only your favourite subject while neglecting the calculation or theory subject that could cost you 40 to 50 marks.
- Master CBT Hall Speed & Review: Increase your answering speed using keyboard shortcuts, review flagged questions after every 30 minutes, and never leave any option blank before submitting.
