Understanding The cause of These many failures in jamb Exams will Help you prepare and know what to do in order to avoid those mistakes and pass jamb this year.
Reasons Why Students Fail Jamb
1. Lack Of Preparation
Over 80% of failure occur as a result of lack of preparation and lack of good reading culture. Many students Don’t want to read and They Expect A miracle to happen during the exam.
What most of These students Don’t know is that once you don’t prepare for an exam there’s only a slim chance of you passing the exam.
JAMBITES Should prepare and follow a good reading schedule and even attend tutorial classes if possible and also listen during classes and they will surely get a good score in their exams.
2. Failure To Follow JAMB Syllabus
I usually get a lot of complains from students saying I read my book and everything I read didn’t come out in the exam. What I usually ask them is do you follow the jamb syllabus?, And most of the reply I get is No.
If you don’t check the jamb syllabus before you start preparing you might end up studying the wrong thing and I the end failing.
So go to the jamb Website and check the jamb syllabus for the particular year you are doing jamb and follow it.
3. Not following examination rules
Many students Don’t read simple instructions before writing an exams most especially CBT exams and when the see their results they act surprised as if they don’t know how they failed.
Every examination rules are there for a reason and they are meant to be followed if you don’t want to repeat the examination.
4. Lack of Concentration
Many people failed JAMB due to lack of Concentration Maybe due to rushing because of time or any other factors.
That is why it is recommended that before writing exams you should Eat and sleep well and clean your mind from anything that can cause any distraction before the exam.
One student once complained to me that he mistakenly submitted his exam when he wasn’t done and then I asked him how come, he said he hasn’t eaten since the day before the exam and he couldn’t concentrate.
That’s why you should concentrate when you’re doing any exam so you won’t submit by mistake or chose wrong answers by mistake.
5. Poor Time Management
Students should know how to manage their time during the examination and they should Also be in a rush so as not to make mistake.
What you should do as a student is that when a question is giving you tough time you should skip it and do the easier ones. and when you’re done, if there’s still time then continue with the ones you skipped.
By following this you will be able to finish your exams in time and even if you don’t finish everything you would be able to answer most of the questions before the time runs out.
6. Failure to arrive at the exam venue early
JAMB exam is not your family occasion or you school graduation ceremony that they will fix at 10 AM and then start at 2 PM. They are very strict with time and students should learn to abide by this and get to the exam early.
Students should be at the exam center at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time for the exam .
7. Failure To Register for JAMB on time
A lot of students delayed thei jamb registration due to different factors but the most common is Due to lack of money, And it’s mostly not the students fault .
But students should also know that if they don’t register on time they might not be given center that is close to them their center could be in another state and this could cause them to miss their exam or Reach the center late.
8. Computer Illiteracy
Students who don’t know how to operate computer might find it hard to write a CBT exam and they might end up not doing anything in the exam. That is why it is recommended that students should undergo orientation or training that will explain how they will do the exam before they go for the exam.
