Tips on How to Solve JAMB Physics Question and Score High

While solving JAMB Physics questions just like the Mathematics, you must have noticed that sometimes, you can solve a particular question especially those that involve calculation in different ways and still get almost all the different options A-D.

This mostly happens when you are not sure of the actual formulae to use in arriving to the accurate answer. It will cause you to try solving the question by guess work.

Solving physics or mathematics by trial and error method is not advisable if you really wish to come the best in your examination.

I have specially prepared this section of the article to help you overcome some errors encountered while trying to solve physics questions in JAMB examination.

A number of tips that I have given here will help you in tackling physics questions and as well get very high score at the end of the examination.

1. Quickly recall the topic in which the question was brought from.
2. Get used to the required formulas and the derivatives.
3. Read the questions very well before you start solving any.
4. State your terms given appropriately.
5. Follow the required steps in order, from the first to the last.
6. Before you approximate any figure, check the answers, significant figures.
7. Make sure that you get the correct answer to the question.

Reasons Why JAMB Candidates Score Low in Physics

Failure to apply the tips that are given the previous section plus other factors are what causes poor performance in physics by JAMB candidates.

You have to take note of things that I will show you here and try as much as possible to avoid falling into the traps. They are the things that will bring your physics score very low, beyond your expectation.

Lack of understanding of the questions

Supply the right answer to the questions requires a good understanding the asked questions. Some candidates make the mistake of delving into solving questions when they have not really understand the question.

Maybe the questions look interesting and familiar. It is not always advisable to follow such assumptions. Do not start solving until you get good knowledge of what the question is talking about.

Not reading the question very well.

As I have told you in the previous section, always read your questions very well before you start to answer. They are some terms in a question that you may skip by mistake as a result of not reading carefully.

Solving Calculations with Fear.

Whenever you enter the examination hall, approach the asked questions with confidence. You may not know the entire questions but when you have that confidence without fearing, you will be able to solve the ones that you know.

While you are solving those ones that you know very well, more ideas about those that you do not know will be coming into your brain, thereby scoring high in the examination.

Not knowing how to derive formulas.

Like mathematics, physics also require many formulas for you to excel. Solving very well in physics require that you have good knowledge of physics formulas.

If you do not much about the mathematical aspect of physics, definitely you are not going to make a good result in JAMB physics.

Again, you should also note that knowing formulas in one thing while knowing the techniques of the application is another thing.

As a physics student, you should be able have a good knowledge of formulas, the derivations and how to apply them in solving calculation. This is what will make you to have a good result at the end.

Going into the examination hall late.

As it is always said that “punctuality is the sole of every business”, so it is applicable to even going for examination. If you are able get to the examination centre/hall at the appropriate time, you settle very before the exam starts and you won’t have battle with examination tension.

Preparing the examination without past questions:

It is always good to take time and challenge yourself thoroughly before going to any examination. The use of past questions while preparing your JAMB examination is the best personal challenge that you can take.

It will help you to get used to physics questions and overcome examination tension during the examination.

Poor Management of time

Time management is of utmost important for the success of any examination. Learn to apply good time management so that you won’t be in hurry and forget all that you can even solve with ease.

It is during the process of answering past questions while at the preparation stage that you learn how to manage your time during the main examination.

Not finishing your questions completely

Submitting unfinished examination is most time as a result of poor time management. Maintain good concentration as you solve your questions.

Always try to finish all the questions and ensure that you avoid anything that will cause you to submit your examination before the time, either by mistake or intentionally.

I hope that you have found this article helpful. If you have any question or comment about the JAMB Physics Question for the First Day 2023, kindly use the comment section below.
