Scoring 300 and above in JAMB UTME is the dream of every serious candidate. At Legacy Scholar, our students consistently achieve this goal — here's how you can too.
Step 1: Know the Exam Format
- 4 subjects (Use of English + 3 relevant subjects)
- 60 questions per subject (except English which has 60)
- 2 hours total time
- Computer-Based Test (CBT) format
Step 2: Master Use of English First
English is compulsory and often the most underestimated subject. Focus on comprehension, lexis and structure, oral English, and literature texts.
Step 3: Create a Subject-Priority Study Plan
Rank your subjects by difficulty and allocate study time accordingly: weakest subject 40% of study time, second weakest 30%, strongest subjects 30%.
Step 4: Use Past Questions Strategically
Don't just solve past questions — analyse them. Identify topics that appear every year, note the style of questions, time yourself to build speed, and review every wrong answer thoroughly.
Step 5: CBT Practice is Non-Negotiable
Many students lose marks due to CBT anxiety, not lack of knowledge. Practice on the official JAMB CBT platform, in our 50-seat CBT lab, and with mobile CBT apps.
Step 6: Mock Exams Under Real Conditions
At Legacy Scholar, we conduct weekly mock exams that simulate actual JAMB conditions. This builds speed and accuracy, exam temperament, and confidence.
Step 7: Exam Day Tips
- Sleep well the night before
- Arrive at the centre 1 hour early
- Read each question twice before answering
- Answer easy questions first
- Don't change answers unless you're sure
- Use the review feature before submitting
