9 Reasons JAMB Candidate fail utme
It is not an unknown fact that some Nigerian students
after their JAMB examination will end up scoring zero
over 400.
Two years ago when I wrote my first JAMB examination, I
had this feeling that I was going to smash the exam with
a high grade like at least 350 over 400 but finally I found
myself scoring 192 over 400.
But I thanked Almighty Allah for making me among the
lucky candidates that saw their results. Some of my
colleagues didn’t even see their results and others
scored 150 over 400 while others were even below that.
So, from experience I will say nine of the reasons why we
fail JAMB in this country are:
1: Fear: According to H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror
in Literature: “The oldest and strongest emotion of
mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear
is fear of the unknown.” Honestly I was afraid then, the
fear of JAMB made me think I was going into a do or die
affair.
I could also remember that the very day of the
examination it took me about 10 minutes before I could
even start shading some answers all because of fear of
what the outcome of the exam might be. So I believe fear
contributed to my failure. So my fellow students be bold,
courageous and never think of failure in your JAMB
examination. JAMB is just like any normal examination,
even if very tricky.
2. JAMB syllabus: It might sound funny but believe me,
JAMB follows some syllabus topics in setting their
examination questions. My advice here is that you should
adhere to JAMB syllabus because that is where their
questions are coming from.
3. Power of JAMB past questions: My dear colleagues
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 wrote theirs about four
years ago, told me that about 20 questions each came
out from JAMB past questions . I was shocked but no
second chance for an amendment.
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 and E from a lady sitting beside me that very
day. She registered in a miracle centre. I am very sure
my score would have been better than 192 if I had not
copied from that girl. After the examination, she showed
me the answer her boyfriend sent to her but to my
greatest surprise the English language paper type is A
but mine is B. Unfortunately to me I carried my Use of
English over, so BE CAREFUL.
5: Invigilators of nowadays: Invigilators in some centres
usually frustrate students to pay or there will be no
communication inside the examination hall. For instance
I can remember that day, an invigilator was said to have
asked to be paid N2,500 by each candidate to allow
them 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 possible to make you fail
unless God saves you.
6: Late coming: Yes, I will advice you all to be at your
centre one hour before the examination starts. Try as
much as you can to be the first student at your centre.
Coming late to any examination will make you feel that
you have lost it all; not only lost but you will be
disorganized.
7. Breakfast: Yes, we know that a hungry man is an
angry man. Before leaving in the morning please take
something; at least one cup of coffee or tea with bread
will be nice to hold you. Sometimes, your exam will even
start later than planned.
8. Long distance: The possibility of a student living in
Nasarawa State (Doma) to meet up with an examination
that will start around 9.00am in the FCT, Abuja, is just
40/100 because anything can happen. Some students
will tell you that they will meet up but along the line,
they will be held up along the way.
The question is: What if the car breaks down on the way?
(I 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.
9. Randomized Questions: It is also important that
candidates note that the questions generated for
candidates are jumbled in such a way that they appear
differently for each candidate.
For instance, your number 1 question may likely be
different from that of your neighbour. That simply means
if you choose "A" as your answer just because your
neighbour says the answer is "A", you may have only
succeeded in shooting your self in the foot as two of you
may be answering different questions. 1 Like |
