The Early Start Advantage
Every year, thousands of candidates wake up in January, see registration open, and realise they have not touched a past question. By then the exam is only weeks away. If you start today, you have a head start that most of your competitors will not have.
The UTME is not a test of genius. It is a test of familiarity: with the syllabus, with the question styles, and with the clock. Familiarity comes from repetition, and repetition needs time.
A 14-Week Plan That Works
Weeks 1 to 4: go through the JAMB syllabus for each of your four subjects and mark every topic as green (I know it), yellow (I half know it) or red (I do not know it). Be honest. Weeks 5 to 10: attack the reds first, one topic per day, then do 10 past questions on that topic. Weeks 11 to 14: switch to full timed practice, a 40-question block at a time.
Keep your Use of English for daily practice. It carries the same weight as any other subject but most candidates neglect it.
Make It Stick
Study in short, focused sessions of 25 to 40 minutes. Close the book and test yourself instead of re-reading. On EliteScholars you can do exactly this: pick a topic, learn it in bite-sized chunks, then take a short CBT on it. Three topics a day, done consistently, beats one panic weekend of ten hours.
