2021 Jamb is just few days away and I'd love to tell you this:
Though the amount of work you've been putting into studies for the past few months matters a lot, WHATEVER you do in THESE REMAINING FEW DAYS before your exam CAN MAKE A LOT OF DIFFERENCE.
Yes, I know you're tired and unmotivated and scared but you need to pull yourself together and get this done once and for all. Don't settle for mediocrity, pursue excellence with all your might. I'm in the right position to tell you that excellence is profitable. I really have profited from excellence and I want you to experience the same.
Here's one thing I usually tell myself when I was just in your position. I'd tell myself that " if studying is suffering, I'd rather suffer for these few months than suffer staying home for another 365 days"
Hey friend get your stuffs together and start studying — more than ever before.
Here are few things I suggest you do more in the remaining days before your exam
1. Practice as much as you can.
Jamb basically test 3 things, your retention, your understanding and your ability to apply the concept you've learned.
The first two you can achieve by studying your textbooks, notes or taking classes. For the latter, you need to practice past questions. I think it's a great way to know what you don't know and work on it.
2. Speed up your reading.
If you have to suspend social media please do, there is plenty of time later to do all those.
You need to give yourself time to study, at least for these little while. Cover and understand as many topics as you can. Discuss what you've learned with your fellow Jambites. Just try to get knowledge from various sources. Teach people, be taught too.
3. Learn to be time conscious.
I think this is about time you started reminding yourself that your exam is going to be conducted under a limited time. You too should simulate this. Practice with time.
4. Activate your exam mode.
This is funny but true. There's something like exam mode and you can reach it by reminding yourself you have an exam. Make your brain the sharpest it could be. Brainstorm and brainstorm and brainstorm.
5. Take care of yourself physically, spiritually and mentally. Always remember that you're the most valuable asset you've got.
