Scoring above 300 in your UTME instantly positions you as an elite candidate for high-demand courses at UNILAG. It requires a highly structured study plan and mastering active recall.

Understand the syllabus

The biggest mistake students make is reading textbooks without referring to the JAMB syllabus. The syllabus outlines exactly what concepts will be tested.

Active recall vs. passive reading

Passive reading is highlighting lines in your textbook. Active recall is testing yourself after reading. Close the textbook and write out everything you remember, or tackle practice questions immediately.

Mock tests analysis

Take full-length mock exams weekly under strict exam conditions. Analyze your incorrect answers. Write down the topic of each failed question and study it immediately.
