JAMB 2025: I’m Prudent Joshua, and I know how stressful it can feel when it’s time to prepare for JAMB. I remember back when I was preparing for my own exam; I was so anxious because I didn’t know all the important details.
I had to depend on others to give me bits and pieces of information, and that made the process harder.
That’s why I decided to share everything I’ve gathered about JAMB 2025 in one place. From the registration date to the deadline, the fees, the compulsory novel, the exam dates, and even how to prepare properly, this guide has it all.
