Eben331: English is very simple. In fact, the most easy subject after biology. You should not spend more than 13-15minutes on English. The mistake is that must aspirant are always going with the mentality of reading comprehension as if they are meditating on the book of Romans in the Bible. You need to train yourself prior to Putme, you must learn to read through a passage no matter how voluminous it is, giving yourself maximum time of 2 minutes, and at the same time sucking out milk, honey and tangible points out of the passage. Believe me, it is not that simple and easy, it will be impossible at first, that is why you have all the time now to train yourself ahead. Get jamb series, there are loads of comprehension passage there. Give yourself stringent and honest rule, don't bend and be consistent. Keep doing that and you will discover your cerebrum already create a new neuron pathway in your white matter to accommodate that process. No matter how difficult a task is, consistency compel your brain to create a new link to accommodate that process so that you can perform it with ease. That is how the brain learn skills like driving, typing with Mavis beacon, etc. 4 Likes |

Samsonyte: Samsonyte: There are two reasons for which I chose option A as the answer to question number 2. FIRST:Let us look at the definition of the words involved... (A) Innocuous = HARMLESS,not intended to offend or upset anyone. (B) Ludicrous = UNREASONABLE,ABSURD,RIDICULOUS,that you cannot take seriously. (C) Ridiculous = ABSURD,LUDICROUS,very silly or UNREASONABLE(synonym of Ludicrous). (D) Notorious = well known for being bad. When you take a cursory look at these words and their meanings,you will notice that option (A) depicts a positive action while others depicts a negative action.A word is positive if it brings a sense of morality,fairness or fortune, while, A word is negative if it is obscene or immoral or if it shows misfortune. Therefore,using The Elimination-by-status method of determining the answer to a question like this, I deduced that OPTION A is the answer. SECOND : The question is saying that Bisola should not have taken offence at Emeka's words(which supposedly is not worth taking offence at). Now let us look at it this way.... (A) If Emeka's words were INNOCUOUS,which means 'harmless', then, there is no way you can tell me that Bisola will take offence at harmless words. (B) If Emeka's words were LUDICROUS which means 'unreasonable',then Bisola should be justified for taking offence at Emeka's unreasonable words. (C) If Emeka's words were RIDICULOUS, which means 'very silly',then Bisola should be justified for taking offence at Emeka's silly words. (D) If Emeka's words were NOTORIOUS which means 'always bad', then Bisola is justified to take offence at Emeka's bad words. Summarily, Bisola should not have taken offence at Emeka's harmless(Innocuous) comments. 1 Like |

Pes13:Thanks for this. If my memory serves me right, I think you once mentioned that you know the topics where UI set their post utme questions. Does this mean that UI concentrate their questions on some topics than others? If it is so, then can you kindly share those topics with us? |
Re: UI 2018/2019 Admission Thread by Pes13: 11:54am On Apr 01, 2018 |
Hardebaryor:Probably, I didn't communicate it appropriately or you misunderstood me. As far as I know, questions can come out of every and any angle. However, you need to read smart; that is, you need to study how UI structure there Putme questions, and you won't waste time to read frevolent details especially in English and biology . Example, you would be wasting your time if you prepare for UI Putme with the same dept you would used if you were to prepare for OAU Putme. You might not even open a dictionary while preparing for UI's Use of English, but you dare not try that with OAU's The bottom line is that you should learn to work smart and not work hard. Learn me take it too football, take for example if Chelsea is to play derby County, they can attack and keep running towards opponent like headless chicken, but with Barcelona, they have to change tactics, and sit quietly in defence and only counter attack if need be. 2 Likes |

dannyboii1: Haaaaaaahhaaaaaaaa. You will ware out your brain and waste your time cramming all the words in the dictionary. UI synonym and antonyms questions are always very simple. They are not big Grammars. You can refer to UI practice question for sample. E.g pessimistic, tyrant, optimistic, wade, avalanche, unprecedented etc. These are samples of the simple words they asked in the past Putme. Just practice with your jamb series adequately, and try to learn new words. Note- No candidates can beat their chest for 100% mark in synonyms and antonyms. |

Hardebaryor:.sir the expression is very correct grammatically. it is used to make an official pronouncements or sometimes to exercise power or authority. its a future tense which supposed to take the modal auxiliary verb (shall) this is the reason it must be followed by present tense verb. and if the auxiliary verb (shall) is omitted the expression is still very correct another example. we feast tonight, we sail west tomorrow. this type of expression is very common in British adventure films 1 Like 1 Share |
