How to Properly Answer JAMB Questions
Every candidate is to read and digest each of them as they would be helpful.
1. Pay Attention to Instructions
Before you attempt any question, make sure you have read and understood all the instructions for the examination. Be sure to read through to the end; do not make assumptions. Note that your time starts counting when you click on ‘Start Exam’.
You must check the subjects displayed and confirm they are your choices. You must read instructions carefully before attempting any question.
2. Read the Questions Carefully
Because of time constraints, most candidates rush through the questions without properly reading and understanding them. This could cause you to pick the wrong answers.
Be sure to read and think through each question properly before picking an answer. This is because there are cases where some questions may be similar to the past questions you have studied or other cases where two options in a question are alike. Avoid making assumptions.
3. Mouse or keyboard — Use What You Are Familiar With
If you are not familiar with the use of the mouse, use the keyboard instead to select your answers (A, B, C or D).
Click inside (not outside) the small circle/button behind the letter (A, B, C or D) of your selected answer.
4. Pick Just One Answer
Multiple Choice questions require just one answer. Ensure you pick just one answer.
5. Answer The Easy Questions First
You don’t have to waste time on a question you find difficult. Answer the easy questions first and skip the more challenging ones for later.
- Choose “all of the above”, only when you are sure that all the options listed above that option are correct.
- Choose “none of the above”, only when you are sure that all the other above listed options are incorrect.
6. Crosscheck Your Answers
If you still have some time left after you have answered all the questions, do well to crosscheck your answers to be sure that you have not made mistakes.
It is important to avoid over-confidence; be careful when doing this. Change a selected answer when you are certain you made a mistake. Check that you have done all that is required before you click the submit button and end the examination.
