Common failure modes

These are the patterns that cause most candidates to lose marks on this topic. Recognising them in advance is half the work.

  • !Listening section: missing answers because preparation time was not used to read questions
  • !Writing task: not covering all required content points in the short email/letter
  • !Reading: confusing True/False/Not Stated questions — conflating "False" with "Not Stated"

Study tips

  • 1Practice B1 English grammar: past tenses, conditionals, passive voice, modal verbs.
  • 2For reading True/False/Not Stated questions: if the text does not address the statement at all, the answer is "Not Stated."
  • 3For the writing task, plan content before writing: identify all required content points and assign one sentence to each.
  • 4JAMB UTME is delivered as CBT only — book your nearest CBT centre (Yaba, Surulere, Ikeja) early; centres outside Lagos State require interstate travel.
  • 5IELTS speaking and listening sessions in Victoria Island fill 6 weeks ahead during peak migration season (May–August). Book a Lekki or Ikeja slot if VI is full.
  • 6For NCLEX/GRE/GMAT: the Pearson VUE Ikeja centre is the most reliable NG site; bring a backup ID and arrive 90 minutes early — Lagos traffic is the most common cause of missed slots.

  1. 1

    A Matura reading text says: "The museum opens at 10 am on weekdays." A question asks: "The museum is open at 9 am on Saturdays." The answer is:

    • ATrue — the museum is open from 9 am
    • BFalse — the text says 10 am on weekdays
    • CNot Stated — there is no information about weekend hoursCorrect
    • DTrue — museums are usually open early
    Why this answer?

    The text mentions weekday hours only (10 am on weekdays). It does not give any information about Saturday hours. Therefore the answer is "Not Stated" — we cannot determine if the Saturday information is true or false based on what the text says.
