SOS! JAMB is around the corner.


I did not know tertiary institution examinations were going to be early this year. I just got informed last Sunday that UTME would be holding this Saturday, the 24th of March. So, some of the teenagers in my teens’ class are going to be sitting and writing the examination too. I asked one of them if he was informed of tips on excelling at the exam and he said no, his eyes said he genuinely needed help on tackling JAMB and it was obviously his first time. I wanted to tell him some but, time wasn’t on my side as I was to be in a meeting and I had forgotten some of the other tips I was told during my time.
When I was about writing JAMB one of our teachers offered to organize a seminar to teach us a few tips on passing JAMB. We were about one hundred and fifty students in my set and about one hundred and twenty of us got scores above two hundred in our JAMB (Including me), we had a wonderful testimony service the next service day in church. I would not say our success was wholly attributed to the seminar we had quarter to JAMB, but hearing things that made us less ignorant and less afraid to face what scares secondary school students and those yet to gain admission to the University, gave us an edge over those who did not have the opportunity to hear such.
Dear reader, I am asking for one tiny favour from you. If you have escaped the claws of JAMB, please do share tips of how you did so. How did you tackle answering questions? Some people do have techniques of answering rightly, questions they don’t know or aren’t sure of. You probably have someone who is writing JAMB or someone who knows someone writing it, and you do not wish they would keep writing the exam. So please save a soul writing JAMB this Saturday and help dissolve their fears, doubts and ignorance. It may be quite close, but it is not yet late. Help make this happen by posting your advice as comments on this blog and if you do not find that so easy to do, please do post them on the site that referred you here i.e.  facebook, twitter and the rest. Then don’t forget to share this and tell those To Whom It May Concern to read the tips too.
Please note that there should be no tips that would implicate them. God bless you.
