Advise to Students

“To current students preparing for WAEC/JAMB, you must be strategic in your planning. Firstly, list the subjects you are taking in these examinations, and get the curricula and past questions in either hardcopy or softcopy. In selecting the appropriate textbooks to focus on, ensure the ones you use align with the curricula and are very useful. Study patterns in past questions to help you narrow down your reading. Attend classes and listen to your teachers, especially in revision classes for practicals. Remember, the stress in preparing for these exams is only for a while, be prayerful and give it your best shot.
And to those with aspirations of academic brilliance, Chikire advised that they should be:
“Be prayerful, define your “why”, set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) goals, focus on these goals and be confident in your abilities. Challenges are common but face them head-on with determination, resilience and strategic planning even if you are afraid. Remember, always be optimistic in your journey!”
