When you ask any Jamb candidate, “what are you doing?” there is usually a common answer, “I am preparing for Jamb”. Now, what materials are necessary for you in the process of Jamb preparations? Let’s see…

It is good to prepare for your Jamb examination; However, not everyone knows how to perfectly prepare to pass Jamb. 

What I am about to share with you here are the hot materials you need while preparing for Jamb. You may already be aware of these materials, but I want to re-emphasize their importance.

ESSENTIAL JAMB MATERIALS

1. TextBooks:

In one of my posts, I explained that notebooks alone are not sufficient to prepare fully for Jamb; you need good textbooks. A good text is one that covers everything in your jamb syllabus. Ensure to have textbooks for all your Jamb subjects.

2. Jotter:

One of the biggest mistakes of Jamb candidates is that they read without putting down facts. It is compulsory you get a notebook or jotter to put down important points while reading. Jotting important points makes your revision faster.

3. Notebooks:

This is another important material you need for Jamb. Your notebooks should contain notes you have made in the past. You would have to refer to them once in a while.

4. More Than One Pen:

Pen are not reliable…. They stop writing anytime. To avoid distractions while reading, you need more than one Biro while studying for Jamb utme examination.

5. Rough Notes:

You need a rough note for calculations. Get a note and dedicate it to calculations and rough work. The more rough notes you consume, the more prepared you are.

6. Syllabus:

Of course, Jamb syllabus is to guide you on what to read and what not to read. You need it to guide you while studying. When going through the Jamb syllabus, ensure to tick the topics you have covered thoroughly. 

7. Time:

You need time to schedule your studies and as well check how fast you were able to solve a mathematical problem. Remember, time is not a handset but an asset….. Killing time is not murder but suicide.

8. Calculator:

This is a sure material you need. However, do not use powerful calculators to study for Jamb. Jamb make use of basic calculators and usually give them out to candidates during registration.

9. Chair And Table:

This is to emphasize that you must sit down while studying for Jamb. Don’t be on the bed while studying; it is very risky.

10. Your Brain:

This is the most important material you need. Your brain must be there while you are preparing for Jamb. Focus is the key; take away all possible distractions.
