JAMB 2017 Candidates, Do Not Relax, Use This Time To Prepare Adequately

I know many of you had almost forgotten about the upcoming 2017 UTME examination, well, this post is to remind you that JAMB registration is still being expected any moment from now.

It is said that most disappointments are blessings in disguise, the delay in commencement of JAMB registration has provided enough time for candidates to prepare. As a matter of fact, I believe that 2017 JAMB candidates have good chances of excelling in the exam considering the ample time they have to study unlike in previous years.

In my opinion, try to use this time wisely, because to whom much is given, much is expected lol...I mean JAMB has given you much time to prepare, do you think you really have any one to blame if you fall below expectation?

There may not be enough time to study once the registration commences. This is the time to read as much as you can, get all the necessary information that you need, Jamb Syllabus should not be far-fetched from you at this point.
