This is a basic introduction to JAMB English that teaches you what the examiner requires from you in your English exams.It is a fact that there is a pattern used for setting the examination questions and because of this, it is easy to predict the questions and to know how best to study for the examinations.
Two major areas from the exam questions have been identified, and these are Comprehension and Lexis and Structure.
An Approach to Comrehension
The reason behind comprehension passages is to know if the candidate (you) understands the contents of each passage adequatelty or not.
Why Comprehension?
The reason why JAMB sets question on comprehension is not vey far fetched. Since the candidates for JAMB are aspiring University Undergraduates, they need the ability to understand lectures, textbooks and other materials.Students who do nto have the ability to understand passages and extract meaning form sentences because of their poor knowledge of words, phrases and sentences are most likely to fail their courses if no improvement is made in due time, and that is the essence of this tutorial.
