How to Score High in JAMB Use of English
Use of English is compulsory for every JAMB candidate, so a weak score can reduce an otherwise strong overall result. To perform well, prepare for the four key areas: comprehension, lexis and structure, oral English, and summary passages. Read quality books, articles and newspapers regularly to improve vocabulary and comprehension. Practice identifying a passage’s main idea, supporting details and implied meaning. This will help you answer questions faster and avoid relying only on obvious statements in a text. Build confidence in lexis and structure by revising grammar rules, sentence construction and commonly confused words such as “affect” and “effect.” Work through past questions to recognise recurring question styles and areas that need more practice. Do not leave English until the final weeks of preparation. Consistent reading, grammar revision and timed practice can make a major difference to your JAMB score.
