Secrets to Score Above 200 in the Forthcoming JAMB Exams
Secret 1: Start Early — Like, Yesterday
You need at least 3-6 months of consistent prep. Starting early allows spaced repetition and prevents last-minute panic.
Secret 2: Know the JAMB Syllabus Like Your Favourite Song
Don’t just read randomly. Download the official JAMB syllabus and check every topic off as you study.
Secret 3: Use Past Questions Like a Compass
90% of JAMB questions are repeated in some form. Study the last 10 years' questions religiously.
Secret 4: Follow the 70-30 Rule
Spend 70% of your study time understanding concepts, and 30% testing yourself with practice questions.
Secret 5: Don’t Just Read — Teach It
Explain what you've learned to someone else. If you can teach it, you truly understand it.
Secret 6: Create a Realistic Study Timetable
Make it visual, flexible, and stick it on your wall. Consistency > intensity.
Secret 7: Join a Study Group (If It’s Serious)
A good study group helps you stay accountable, ask questions, and revise together.
Secret 8: Use Online JAMB CBT Platforms
Practice with CBT apps like Myschool CBT, Flashlearners, or JAMB's official app.
Secret 9: Sit in Front During Tutorials
You’ll hear better, ask more questions, and avoid distractions.
Secret 10: Use the Pomodoro Technique
Study for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break. Repeat. It boosts focus.
Secret 11: Sleep Is a Secret Weapon
Sleep helps consolidate memory. No point reading all night and forgetting by morning.
Secret 12: Don’t Memorize, Visualize
Use mind maps, diagrams, and flowcharts. Your brain loves pictures.
Secret 13: The Pen Trick
Writing with your hand improves retention better than typing or highlighting.
Secret 14: Revise in Layers
First revision: general understanding. Second: deeper insights. Third: timed testing.
Secret 15: Cheat Sheet Method
Summarize each topic in one page with key points. Review these before the exam.
Secret 16: Use Mnemonics
Turn boring lists into funny, memorable phrases.
Secret 17: Watch Explainer Videos
Use YouTube channels like 'LearnAtEase', 'Dawislabi', or Khan Academy for complex topics.
Secret 18: Avoid the 'Cram and Forget' Trap
Read, pause, recall from memory — this technique is called active recall.
Secret 19: Hydrate Your Brain
Drink enough water. Dehydration reduces focus and mental energy.
Secret 20: Snack Smart
Eat memory-boosting fruits like bananas, oranges, and groundnuts during study sessions.
Secret 21: Stay Away from Academic Enemies
Friends that distract or discourage you? Avoid them until after the exam.
Secret 22: Track Your Progress
Use a checklist or journal to track completed topics and scores from practice tests.
Secret 23: Attend Mock Exams
Simulate real exam conditions and time pressure. This kills anxiety.
Secret 24: Pray, But Also Prepare
Faith is powerful. But don’t replace action with prayer. Do both.
Secret 25: Use Affirmations
Tell yourself: “I am smart. I am prepared. I will pass JAMB.” Your mind believes what you repeat.
Secret 26: Beware of Exam Day Panic
Learn deep breathing to calm nerves. Pack your materials the night before.
Secret 27: Time Yourself During Practice
Use a stopwatch when solving past questions to improve speed.
Secret 28: Revise Weak Subjects More Often
Don’t avoid them. Attack them until they bow.
Secret 29: Master English Comprehension
Practice skimming and scanning. Don’t read every word during the exam.
Secret 30: Know JAMB’s Tricks
They love to confuse with options that look alike. Learn how to eliminate wrong answers smartly.
Final Words: Your 200+ Score is Possible
You don’t need to be a genius. Just be consistent, strategic, and focused. Use these 30 secrets as your daily study guide, and you’ll increase your chances of scoring above 200 — even 300 — in JAMB.
Now go and conquer.
