Government jobs in Nigeria are highly competitive, and most recruitment processes involve aptitude tests. Here are key steps to help you prepare and pass with confidence:

Understand the Exam Format
Most government exams include sections like English language, quantitative reasoning, current affairs, and general knowledge. Some may include technical or job-specific questions.
Get the Right Past Questions
Look for verified past questions from the agency or ministry you’re applying to (e.g., NNPC, FIRS, NDLEA). Solving them helps you understand patterns and expected difficulty.
Study with a Timetable
Create a daily reading schedule. Allocate time to different subjects—at least 1–2 hours a day. Consistency is better than cramming last-minute.
Use Recommended Study Materials
Apart from past questions, use WAEC/UTME-level textbooks, logical reasoning workbooks, and apps like Pass.ng or Myschool CBT for practice.
Practice Speed and Accuracy
Many exams are timed. Practice with a stopwatch. Learn to answer quickly and skip questions you don’t know to return later.
Stay Updated on Current Affairs
Most exams test your awareness of local and global events. Read daily news, especially about Nigerian government policies, economy, and major appointments.
Join Online Study Groups
Telegram, WhatsApp, and Facebook often have groups focused on government job prep. Members share materials, mock tests, and tips.
Rest Well Before the Exam Day
A tired brain won’t perform well. Sleep early the night before and avoid overthinking. Arrive at the venue early with all required documents.
Practice Interview Questions Too
If you pass the test, the next stage is often an interview. Start preparing answers for common questions like “Why do you want this job?” or “What value can you bring?”
Stay Positive and Focused
Government recruitment is tough but not impossible. Believe in yourself and stick to your prep plan.

Thousands of candidates apply, but those who prepare smartly usually stand out……..CONTINUE READING

Verified

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made it clear that no candidate can have two results. If a candidate receives an updated or corrected result, it automatically replaces the old one. This means the previous result is no longer valid and has been officially withdrawn…….CONTINUE READING

JAMB’s decision is part of its effort to maintain accuracy and integrity in the examination process. Candidates are advised to check the most recent result issued by the board, as that is the only one recognized for admission or record purposes.

Anyone trying to present both results will be disqualified, as it goes against the rules. If you’re unsure which result is valid, always refer to the latest one sent through JAMB’s official channels.CONTINUE READING
