Two first-class graduates, Adedeji Ayomide Samuel and Caleb Temiloluwa Adewole, share practical advice for students preparing for WAEC and JAMB exams, emphasizing structured preparation, mastering core concepts, and addressing weaknesses.
Adedeji Ayomide Samuel, a Mathematics graduate from the Federal University of Oye-Ekiti with a CGPA of 4.68, recalls his struggles with JAMB, which he wrote three times. “Each attempt tested my resilience,” he said, stressing the importance of understanding fundamental concepts over rote memorization. He advises students to start early, review past questions, and embrace mistakes as learning opportunities. His key takeaway: persistence and a clear goal will keep students on track.
Caleb Temiloluwa Adewole, an Electrical and Electronics Engineering graduate from the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), earned a CGPA of 4.85 and ranked second in his class. Reflecting on his preparation, he excelled in science subjects like Physics and Mathematics but admitted to neglecting weaker areas such as Civic Education and English. “Pay attention to all subjects, not just your strengths,” he advises, highlighting the importance of balanced preparation. For JAMB, Caleb recommends choosing courses that align with one’s strengths and interests.
Both graduates emphasize perseverance, consistency, and a clear strategy. Their experiences show that with hard work and belief in oneself, academic success is achievable.
