Success in the JAMB CBT (Computer-Based Test) exam is all about strategy, preparation, and mindset.
Here’s a full breakdown on how to do it like a pro:
1. Master the JAMB Syllabus
- Go through the official JAMB syllabus for each subject.
- Focus on high-yield topics that frequently appear in past questions.
2. Practice Time Management
- You have 160 questions and 2 hours (120 mins).
- That’s less than 1 minute per question — so don’t dwell too long on any one.
- Use JAMB CBT apps or websites to simulate real exam timing.
3. Get Comfortable with the CBT System
- Practice on a computer or smartphone regularly.
- Learn how to:
- Use the “Next” and “Previous” buttons
- Flag questions to review later
- Submit your answers when you’re done
4. Use JAMB Past Questions
- Solve past questions by topic and by full mock exams.
- You’ll spot repeated patterns and learn JAMB’s question style.
5. Sharpen Your Weak Areas
- Don’t just focus on subjects you love.
- Use your practice results to identify weak spots and improve them.
6. Stay Calm and Positive
- Avoid last-minute cramming — trust your preparation.
- Practice breathing techniques if you feel anxious in the hall.
7. Take CBT Training/Mocks Seriously
- Take CBT Training / mock exams under real exam conditions.
- Review your performance and improve on mistakes.
8. Follow Instructions Carefully
- Read all on-screen instructions before starting.
- Be alert for changes like negative marking (JAMB usually doesn’t use it, but always verify).
⚡ BONUS TIPS:
- Start with your easiest subject first to build confidence.
- If you’re stuck, just pick an answer and return later — don’t waste time.
- Double-check your flagged questions if time allows before submitting.
- Submit before the time elapse (At least 3 minutes before the time stops)
Best of luck
