With the JAMB UTME about to start some candidates shared their exam strategies. Here are some candidates' strategies that help them ace their exams.

Chinedu: Two tips from me!!

First, remember that a major key to acing any test or exam is having the right mindset. Take a few minutes to calm down any way you can. You could hum your favorite tune or take deep breaths or chew gum (before the exam...don't be obnoxious). This isn't just about how much you know, but about how well you can answer. And you need a good frame of mind to answer well.

Next, approach the questions with an appreciation of time. It's common knowledge that even if you know all the answers, you'll essentially get nothing for your efforts if you can't answer everything on time. So, keep a watchful eye on the clock and try to answer as much as you can within the space of the time given. Don't spend all your time on Physics when you know you answer Biology better...

Femi: My strategy is to pray before starting. if you read, the Holy Spirit helps you remember. if you are confused, he can clear your head. He is a great teacher yunno.

Another one is to endeavor to read all the options before answering.

don't spend all the time on one question.

some questions required just your common sense. so use it there. especially those doing non-science subjects. Some also require that you borrow knowledge from here and there. put the pieces of the puzzle together and here goes your answer.

whatever you do crosscheck las las and you should be time conscious

Grace: I don't know about others but I'm always tensed a day before the exam and on the exam day I just take it as it goes....my point is don't let the pressure override you. just do your thing the way you feel it will suit you, remember what works for Mr.A might not work for Mr. B.

just know your strength and weaknesses and as long as you know within yourself that you are prepared then there's really no cause for alarm.

I feel that everyone has a strategy they think is best. Whichever strategy you're using is a means to the end. Just make sure you don't mount unnecessary pressure on yourself by trying all your best to answer a hard question when some others are left unanswered, perhaps the unanswered questions might be more simple - who knows?

Sometimes our brain like playing tricks on us that we can't find the answer to a question even if we're well-grounded in its topic. That's why it's good to skip questions that seem difficult and come back to them. By the time you revisit a question, if it once looked strange, it might now look familiar (God Willing).

I'll end this post with these:

•Have patience

•Try hard not to be nervous

•Answer questions concurrently

•Start with a subject or questions you find simple

•Don't spend too much time on a question, if you don't have an idea of the answer.....just go to the next question

•Make sure you ATTEMPT every question.

Good luck!

exams are always tense moment for students especially as it has to do with the turning point in a students life. The highschool phase to the university phase are the points. Wishing all a successful examination.

Also, they shouldn't ask questions from anybody because the questions in each numbers are very different. So they should do their best and leave the rest
