WHY DO MANY NIGERIAN STUDENTS FAIL JAMB? HERE ARE THE REASONS!

1. NON-PREPARATION

By making arrangements with exam hall crocodiles or examination magicians

By fearing JAMB after taking it on 2 or 3 occasions.

By believing that the safety net is to go abroad.



…group discussion on JAMB or just waiting for food?…

 2. INADEQUATE PREPARATION

By registering at a tutorial college without  any fixed objective

By non-organization of  their studies.

By adopting an attitude of ‘’I don’t care’ to lectures and mock exams.

By relaxing after passing one mock test.

By getting discouraged as a result of one mock test.

By not associating with ambitious students.

By not being proactive towards one‘s progress. You do this by not telling yourself to take charge of your studies. And by not setting goals  or by not making  any effort to achieve those set…

3. MENTAl GAME FAILURE IN THE EXAM HALL  LEADING TO WRONG ANSWERS

Getting late to the exam hall, or not bothering to know the exact location of the exam hall  before the date of the exam.

By looking at the faces of other students before the exam and becoming jelly –like thinking  they are likely to be better than you or that they are probably better prepared than you.

By failing to be a battle tank in the exam hall. To be a battle tank in the exam hall, pray ,concentrate ,get smart on techniques ,get even smarter by not tackling harder subjects  like maths first or physics.

4 BY SUCCUMBING TO THE USUAL PROBLEM OF UNBELIEF COMMON AMONG LAZY STUDENTS

Students are not always ready to let go of old study methods they are used to.Even where they are taught new techniques or method they still prefer to use their own ways which had failed them many times

The problem is not because they do not understand the new methods but because moving over to new methods involve yielding like a Christian on the basis of faith –something whose effect might not be immediately seen.

It is also because they still need to build up their confidence or faith  by regular practice which is also challenge on its own especially to the very lazy ones

Again not every listener in the church believes or is carried along by the pastor. Some don’t even understand what the pastor is saying. they hear about the heaven all the time but it continues to hold  only REMOTE possibilities for them. They are still hesitant about taking the step or leap of faith or making a commitment to new ways

But what students need do is to learn how not to attempt taking giant leaps but little steps of progress one after the other. These steps are recognizable by the following acts.

(a)     Planning an examination  study timetable

(b)    Writing Red Notes or revision notes.

(c)      Putting the three techniques of JAMB by EDUPEDIA into action.



group academic programs which were common in mason college are essential for jamb studies…

But what exactly do EDUPEDIA techniques or jamb write –up say?

(a). Jamb question can be divided into  EASY, HARD and POSSIBLE questions. Students are to remember,however, that what is hard for them  may not be so for  others.

(b). Jamb answers can be divided  into BEST ANSWER , PARTLY  CORRECT  ANSWER .PARTLY WRONG ANSWER and TOTALLY WRONG ANSWER. But Jamb is interested in  BEST ANSWERS ONLY! Unfortunately many students get deceived/distracted by partly correct answers(same as partly wrong answers)

To get the best answers, use

Operation sweep method for EASY QUESTIONS

            Ogbunigwe method for POSSIBLE QUESTIONS and

             Bafana Bafana method for HARD QUESTIONS

Unfortunately 2 factors work against students  in the exam hall. These are KNOWLEDGE AND TIME.

Our solutions for both problem are as follows;

For Knowledge ,use the following named techniques under HOW TO STUDY  i.e Recall and Revision Methods(Red Notes, Timetable, Q/As)…  all to be explained through write-ups in future…

For Time student need to master the 3 techniques listed under “best answers” above.

NOTE

Have you read our previous publications on JAMB and its USE OF ENGLISH paper?…Iif you have good

luck then.
