The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is responsible for conducting the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Nigeria.
On the third day of the exam, candidates faced various questions in subjects like Use of English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Government, Economics, and CRS.
In this blog post, we will discuss some of the questions and topics that were shared by candidates who took their exams on that day.
Please note that this article does not provide exam expo or answers but aims to provide insights for further study and preparation.
Use of English:
The Use of English section consisted of questions from different categories such as literature, comprehension, lexis and structure, word and opposite, word and meaning, fill in the gap, sound, and stress.
Candidates were tested on their understanding of the literature book, characters, and vocabulary usage.
For example, candidates were asked about Omar’s immediate sister, the author of a book, the admission of Omar to study law, and more.
These questions serve as a starting point for candidates to explore these topics in more depth.
Biology:
The Biology section included questions on evolution, ecology (food web), major supporting systems in plants, kingdoms, conservation of resources, anaerobic respiration, cell structure, s*x-linked traits, variations, and enzymes.
Candidates were also asked about the largest game reserve in Nigeria and the trees found in storeys.
These topics provide an overview of the scope of biology covered in the UTME examination and can guide candidates in their further studies.
Chemistry:
The Chemistry section involved questions related to calculations, alkanols, petroleum fractions, and chemical reactions.
Candidates were asked to calculate the volume of NaOH when given the mole of H2SO4. Questions on alkanols and petroleum fractions tested candidates’ knowledge of these topics.
While the provided information is incomplete, it emphasizes the importance of understanding calculations and concepts in chemistry.
Physics:
In the Physics section, candidates encountered questions on topics like saturation of water vapor in air, hydropower stations, linear expansity, gas laws, heat transfer, resistance, and volume of gases.
These questions assessed candidates’ understanding of concepts such as temperature, pressure, expansion, heat transfer mechanisms, and electrical circuits. It is crucial for candidates to have a solid grasp of these topics to excel in the physics section of the exam.
Government:
The Government section included questions about military regimes, constitutions, and international organizations.
Candidates were asked about institutions created under military regimes, the constitution that laid the foundation for democratic processes, the government’s involvement in creating ECOWAS, and the purpose of the Willinks constitution.
These questions highlight the importance of understanding Nigeria’s political history and its impact on governance.
Economics:
The specific questions in the Economics section were not provided. However, candidates should be prepared for questions related to economic principles, theories, and concepts. Topics such as demand and supply, production, market structures, national income, inflation, and monetary and fiscal policies are typically covered in the UTME Economics section.
CRS:
The CRS section featured questions on biblical events and figures. Candidates were asked about the locations where Abraham wanted to sacrifice Isaac and where Elijah called upon God.
These questions tested candidates’ knowledge of biblical stories and events.
Conclusion
