The Power of Consistent Preparation
Udeh Ifeanyi Monday, a first-class Accounting graduate from the University of Uyo, revealed how consistent preparation transformed his JAMB performance.
“In my first JAMB attempt, I scored 182 due to lack of consistent preparation and not practicing enough past questions,” he said. “After that, I buckled down, practiced numerous past questions consistently, and ended up scoring 307 in my second attempt.”
His advice to students is simple yet powerful:
“Build a solid foundation in key subjects, work through past papers, and create a study schedule for consistent review. Seek guidance from teachers and stay focused on your goals.”
The Importance of Past Questions
Chukwuemeka John Okparaeke, who earned a first-class degree in Computer Science from the University of Ibadan with a CGPA of 3.82/4.00, highlighted the critical role of past questions in exam preparation.
“Past questions are crucial,” Chukwuemeka emphasized. “Read and read and read your past questions. That was something I failed to do, and it almost cost me. Know your past questions in and out.”
His approach underscores the value of understanding exam patterns and practicing thoroughly to build confidence and improve performance.
Inspiration for Success
The stories of these graduates serve as a roadmap for students preparing for JAMB and WAEC. Their experiences highlight the importance of dedication, strategic study techniques, and consistent practice.
By following their advice, students can boost their chances of success and achieve their academic goals.
