Via experience.. It is not an unknown fact that some Nigerian
students after their jamb examination will end up scoring zero over 400 (
0.00/400.00). Last two years when i wrote my first Jamb examination, i
had this feeling that i am going to smash the exam with a high grade
like at least 350 over 400 but finally i found myself scoring 179 over
400, poor me right i guess
But i thank Baba God for even making me see my score. Some of my
colleagues didn,t even see any thing called grade talk more of scoring 0
over 400, i will share some tipz and reason why i failed my
examination and also from survey why many students also failed ,
Here are the 10 Reasons why Nigerian students fail Jamb:
1: Fear
According to
H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature
, He said that “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear,
and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” ,
Seriously speaking, i was afraid then , the fear of Jamb made me to
think if i was going into
Do or Die Affair.
i could also remember vividly that very day of the examination it took
me about 10 minutes before i could even start shading some answer all
because i was afraid to even start somewhere. Fear contributed to my
failure .So my fellow students,
Be bold , courageous and
never you think of failure in your jamb examination. Jamb is just like a
normal examination but very tricky….
2: Jamb Syllabus
It might sound funny but i bet you, Jamb follow some
syllabus topics
in setting up their examination questions, Then i was busy going to
extra moral class , thinking i will grab everything within 3 months. but
i was disappointed when i got into the examination hall . So i advice
all students that will be sitting for Jamb 2014 to at least get tips
about all the topics jamb listed in their syllabus.To get the jamb
syllabus Visit here;
3: Power of Jamb Past-Question
My dear never neglect the power of past question papers. They reveal
some tips and sample questions on what you will be facing in your
examination. After the examination that day, some of my friends that
finished about 4 years jamb past questions papers told me that about 20
questions each came out from jamb past questions. i was shocked but No
second chance for an amendment.. So start now to practice some jamb
past question. MyeduNigeria will be lunching a service soon that will
help all jambites to practice questions in more convenient medium.
4: Miracle Centre
Believe it or Not, This is an OPEN Confession, the fear of failing
made me to get some A,B,C,D,E from a lady sitting beside me that very
day. She registered in Miracle Enter(RUNS THINGS). i am very sure my
score would have been more better that it was if i had focus without
getting some data from that girl. After the examination , she showed me
the Answer her boyfriend sent to her but to my greatest surprised the my
English language paper TYPE was A but the one her boyfriend sent her
was TYPE C. unfortunately to me i carried my USE of English Over… So.
BE CAREFUL…..
5: Invigilators
Nowadays.. invigilators can frustrate students to the extend of
asking them to pay or there will be NO communication inside the
examination hall. For instance i could remember that day, one
invigilator asked us to pay #2,500 each to allow us share and
communicate with each other BUT if you fail to pay automatically you
will become NO 1 Suspect in the hall. They will try anything humanly
possible to make you fail unless you know your Creator.
6: Coming Late
Yes, I will advice you all that will sitting for the 2014 Jamb to be
in your Centre 1 hour before the examination start. Try as much as you
can to be first student to be in your centre. Coming late to any
examination will make you feel that you have lost it all. you will
automatically dis-organize yourself .
7: Breakfast
Yes , we know that a hungry man is an Angry man.. Do not use because
you are going to write Jamb examination you will starve yourself .
Before leaving in the morning please take something atleast one cup of
coffee or tea with bread will be nice to hold you. Sometimes , your
exam will even start late then planned.before organizing hall and all
that your will be hungry unless some hawkers enter into your centre…
8: Long Distance
The possibility of a student living in Enugu to meet up with an
examination that will start around 9.00am in Ebonyi state is just 40/100
because anything can happen. Some student will tell you i will meet up
but along the line , they will be hooked up on the way.
The question is:
- What if the Car break on the way( Which we don,t pray for such)
- What if you don,t locate your centre before the exam starts?
The only possible solution for this is just to be in the
state/local/town/village where your centre is located a day before the
examination date.it will help you alot because if you fail to meet it
automatically it will collaborate the reason NO 6:
9: Jamb Paper type:
Many students choose to change their Jamb paper during the
examination. Let say your Jamb use of english paper type is TYPE A. Some
student will quickly get EXPO from their colleagues without checking
the expo Type. Be careful.
10: Lack of Information:
