Every examination (UTME
inclusive) comes with its wind, and this wind has the ability of dividing the
candidates for the examination into two main groups: the failure group and the
success group. In this article, with
reference to the JAMB examination, I will be discussing the former and
the types of candidates it is comprised of. If you are among this set of persons, it
is very important you have a change of attitude and make hays while the sun shines
in order to come out of the examination hall smiling.
Below are the candidates
that comprise the failure group:
1. The Social Candidates
The name "social
candidates" is coined from the word "social media." These candidates are all knowing. They can tell you the latest news about JAMB
because they are always online or on any of the social media platforms sourcing
for the latest news about JAMB. They know all the CBT registration centres and
the latest JAMB brochure. They even know the latest JAMB syllabus and novel but
have neither opened it nor started reading it.
Just as Nigerians argue
international football matches, these candidates can argue and abuse JAMB
online but they have never discussed any JAMB topic with friends and other JAMB
candidates.
Are you among these
persons? If you are, you better repent, otherwise, you will face the
consequences. Make yourself useful by studying to show thyself approved.

2. The Crammers
The crammers are only
good at cramming past questions and answers. Although they are hardworking,
they don't study to know. As a result, they easily get confused and
destabilised once a question is twisted. This will no doubt lead to their
failure.
3. Procrastinators
The language of
procrastinators is "I will do it tomorrow or later." They always feel
there is still time, but before they know it, the exam is at the door knocking.
4. The Spiritual or Religious Candidates
These set of persons believe that God can
help them pass their UTME (even without reading) if they attend all the services
and prayer meetings in church. Hehehehehe! I laugh in Swahili. My dear,
God can never be mocked! Remember, He says, "And I will bless the work of
your hands." This simply means that you need to put in efforts before God
can crown them with success. Also, God loves hard
work. That is why He commanded us to study so as to show ourselves approved.
Are you among the students
in that school of thought who believe that the Holy Ghost will give them expo
in the examination hall? This is a clear evidence of lack of knowledge, and if
you are in this school of thought, you will definitely perish. The work of the Holy
Ghost is to help you remember what you have studied. If you have not studied
anything, what will you remember? Don't let anyone deceive you, my dear.
Just study!
5. The Fearful JAMB Candidates
The fearful JAMB
candidates are those who always discuss how difficult this year's JAMB
examination will be for some reasons best known to them. They have even concluded that there is no
way they can score up to 250 and above. All these unholy thoughts overwhelm
them with fear and consequently kill their confidence.
Fear is one of the
biggest and fastest killers in the world. It kills everything it comes in
contact with, including your success. It is normal to be anxious but never be too
afraid of any examination. If you are afraid of this year's UTME, the
examination will also be afraid of you. Hope you know what that means. It means
failure.
The advice is based on
belief. Believe in yourself and work hard! Hope you are aware of the fact that
many persons have scored very high points in this same exam you are scared of.
Just study!
6. The Shortcut Descendants
Are you the kind of
person who likes quick runs, and as a result, always check the internet for
sites that can satisfy your wants? If you are, this is the category you
fall in. What you should know is that shortcuts always lead to "cut
shorts" and disillusionment.
Run away from those sites
where JAMB runs are advertised. They are only interested in your money, they have no idea of the type of question JAMB has set. Why do you
patronise scammers when you have all it takes to pass JAMB examination. When you believe in yourself
and work hard, success will enslave you.
7. The Sluggish Candidates.
If your speed in the
examination hall is like that of a snail, you are most likely to fail this
year's JAMB examination. In any exam, time is not
friendly at all. Within a twinkle of an eye, you've come to the end of the examination. Therefore, you
need to learn how to answer your questions very fast. Always start with the simplest questions. I mean the ones that are easy for you.
It is advisable you retrace your step should you be among any of the aforementioned candidates.
I wish you good success in your examination!
