English Language

English Language is compulsory and vital
for all examinations. Students must focus on comprehension, grammar, essay writing, and literature.

Students must focus on comprehension, grammar, essay writing, and literature.
Key Focus Areas:

– Comprehension & Summary: Practice passages from past WAEC/NECO exams.
Learn to extract main ideas, write in your own words, and avoid lifting
sentences directly.

– Grammar: Revise concord (subject-verb agreement), clauses, sentence
structures, idioms, and common errors.

– Essay Writing: Master argumentative, narrative, descriptive, and expository
essays. Learn to structure essays with introduction, body, and conclusion.

– Literature in English: Pay attention to your set texts in drama, prose, and
poetry. Understand themes, characters, and literary devices.

Practical Tip: Practice one comprehension passage daily and write one essay per
week.

Mathematics

Mathematics requires daily practice. Past
questions are key for speed and accuracy.

Key Focus Areas:

– Algebra: Simplifying expressions, solving equations and inequalities,
logarithms.

– Geometry: Circle theorems, mensuration, coordinate geometry, and
constructions.

– Trigonometry: Ratios, identities, angles of elevation/depression, bearings.

– Statistics & Probability: Mean, median, mode, variance, probability
rules.

– Calculus: Differentiation and integration basics.

Practical Tip: Solve at least 20 past questions weekly and time yourself.

Sciences

Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are core
science subjects. They require both theory and calculation practice.

PHYSICS:

– Mechanics: Linear motion, Newton’s laws, energy, momentum, and machines.

– Heat: Gas laws, expansion of solids/liquids, calorimetry, thermodynamics.

– Waves & Optics: Sound waves, light reflection/refraction, lenses,
mirrors.

– Electricity & Magnetism: Ohm’s law, current, resistance,
electromagnetism, transformers.

– Modern Physics: Radioactivity, atomic models, quantum basics.

CHEMISTRY:

– Atomic Structure & Bonding: Electrons, protons, neutrons, isotopes.

– Periodic Table: Trends, groups, and properties of elements.

– Organic Chemistry: Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, carboxylic acids.

– Inorganic Chemistry: Preparation of salts, acids, bases, and oxides.

– Thermodynamics & Electrolysis: Energy changes, redox reactions.

– Stoichiometry: Balancing chemical equations, molar calculations.

BIOLOGY:

– Cell Biology: Organelles and their functions, cell division (mitosis,
meiosis).

– Genetics: Mendel’s laws, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, variation.

– Ecology: Food chains, ecosystems, energy flow, conservation.

– Human Systems: Circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and nervous
systems.

– Plant Physiology: Photosynthesis, transpiration, transport systems.

– Reproduction: Sexual and asexual reproduction in plants and animals.

Practical Tip: Draw diagrams for each topic. Label neatly and practice with
past practical questions.

Social Sciences & Arts

These subjects are essential for Arts and
Social Science students.

GOVERNMENT:

– Constitutions and government systems.

– Separation of powers, legislature, executive, judiciary.

– Nigerian government structure and political development.

ECONOMICS:

– Principles of demand, supply, and elasticity.

– National income, money and banking, inflation and unemployment.

– International trade and balance of payments.

GEOGRAPHY:

– Map reading, scale, and interpretation.

– Physical Geography: Rocks, rivers, climate, weather patterns.

– Human Geography: Population, settlement, transport, and economic activities.

CRS/IRS:

– CRS: Old and New Testament lessons, leadership examples, Christian living.

– IRS: Qur’anic teachings, Hadith, Islamic history, faith pillars.

HISTORY:

– Pre-colonial societies, trade routes, kingdoms (Oyo, Benin, Sokoto
Caliphate).

– Colonial rule, nationalist movements, independence.

– Post-colonial Nigeria and African developments.

General Study Tips

– Create a Study Timetable: Divide subjects
daily. Example: English + Math in the morning, Sciences in the afternoon, Arts
in the evening.- Use Past Questions: They help you know exam trends.

– Revise Regularly: Don’t cram; revise small portions daily.

– Group Study: Explaining to others improves understanding.

– Use Online Tools: Khan Academy, Coursera, and Nigerian platforms like
Myschool.ng.

– Health Tips: Sleep well, eat balanced meals, and take breaks while reading.
