Tips To Help You Score High in Your Post UTME Exams

Here are tips to help you score high in your
post-UTME exams;
1. Understand the Type of Exams you will be
taking: before you can pass any post-UTME
exams, you will have to understand the nature
of the examination. Ask these vital questions
before the exams; is the exams computer
based? Or is it paper and pencil test? How are
they setting the question? How many
questions are my expected to answer? What
type of questions are my expecting? It it
essay type questions? Is it multiple choice?
This information will enable you to know how
to prepare better for the upcoming
examination.
2. Get Past Questions: Getting past questions
for the previous years is a top shot. These
past questions will not only give you insight
into the pattern of the exams but it will help
you to brainstorm while practicing it and
predict the possible questions you are
expecting. If you don’t have any, go now and
get one from your school of choice and start
practicing it.
3. Read Consistently : Of course you chose
the path to study, so reading should not be a
hobby anymore to you. Make consistent
reading your culture. Read well
and read wide. The secret of above 300 in
your Post UTME Exams lies in reading
persistently. Having gotten the pattern of the
exams, set up a reading timetable and follow it
religiously. Your goal is to get
admission, so you should give priority to it
until you achieve it.
4. Join Extramural Classes. This has proven to
to be a very effective means of scoring high.
5. Arrive at the Exams Venue Early: No matter
how you
prepared for the exams, it will become an
absolute waste of energy if you do not arrive
at the exam venue on time. Arriving early at
the exam venue will give
you the opportunity to be adapted to the
environment, for instance you are travelling to
a far place for your exams. You will also have
the opportunity to be part of the orientation
talk with respect to the exams. If your
university of choice is in another state of very
far from your location, I will advise that you
travel a day before the exams.
2. Bring required exam materials: Make sure
you go to the exam hall with all the required
exam materials and avoid going with any other
thing that can implicate you.
3. In the exam hall: What ever that happened
and the expected result depends on what you
are doing in the examination hall.
Below are the basic tips;
(a) Pay attention to instructions : Do exactly
what you are told to do and avoid doing what
you are not old to do
(b) Prayer Matters: You have to invite your
creator to help you in the exams you are about
to take.
(c) Consult the timing of the exams: Check
the time allotted for the exams and compare it
with the number of questions you’re given.
This will give you insight to how much time
should be spent on a particular question.
(d) Use your brain: You have to apply what
ever you read before the exams, aside from
that, the time you spent to read will become
totally wasted. Scan through the options
before reading the questions. Read every
question slowly and attempt to answer it. If
you can’t
decipher the correct answer, read it slowly
again and attempt to answer. If you don’t
have any headway, just leave it and go to
another one.
(e) Time yourself : Timing in the exam hall is
very paramount. If you are answering 100
questions for 1 hour, you have to calculate it
out. There are 60 minutes in 1hour for me to
use it and answer 100 questions. That means I
have 0.6 minutes to answer 1 question.
As simple as that. So if you try to answer a
particular question without answer, leave it to
another to same time for other questions.
After you can come back to revisit the
questions that you
left behind.
(f) Shade the Correct Answer : This exam is
called aptitude test. It is meant to test your
common reasoning. These are cheap
questions. Read each question carefully and
attempt your answer.
Take note, most questions might not have
answer there in the options. “It is aptitude
test”
(g) Shade everything correctly : make sure you
shade everything correctly if it is paper and
pencil exams. If you are writing on a computer
make sure you read more about computer
based test to have a flair of the exam
situation.
(h) Submit when you are told.
