JAMB 2025: Candidate Shares Subject Breakdown — “Biology Was on Plants, English Focused on Novel, Physics and Chemistry Were Mostly Calculations”

A JAMB 2025 candidate, Bridge Sam, has given a quick breakdown of what he experienced in the exam across four major subjects: Biology, English, Physics, and Chemistry.

“In Biology, read on plant.
In English, 10–15 questions from the novel.
Physics and Chemistry — mostly calculations,” he said.

His short but detailed observation offers useful insight for candidates who are yet to write their exams and are still preparing.

Biology — Focused on Plants

Bridge Sam pointed out that many of the questions in Biology centered around plants.
This means candidates should pay close attention to topics like:

• Plant anatomy and physiology
• Photosynthesis
• Reproduction in plants
• Classification of plants

Candidates yet to write should revise plant-related topics carefully, as they might form a major part of the questions.

English — Heavy on the JAMB Novel

In English, about 10 to 15 questions were drawn directly from the JAMB recommended novel (Lekki Headmaster for 2025).
This shows how important it is for candidates to:

• Read the novel thoroughly, not just summaries.
• Pay attention to quotes, characters, events, and settings.

Ignoring the novel could cost a significant number of marks.

Physics and Chemistry — Mostly Calculations

For both Physics and Chemistry, Bridge Sam observed that the questions were heavily calculation-based.
This suggests that candidates need to:

• Practice solving problems, not just memorizing formulas.
• Manage time well during calculations.
• Understand basic principles behind formulas to apply them correctly under pressure.

Final Words

Bridge Sam’s quick report is a helpful reminder that deep study — not just surface reading — is important for JAMB 2025.
Candidates still preparing should take note of these patterns and adjust their revision strategies while there’s still time.

Good luck to everyone yet to write! Stay focused and confident.
