We provide a summary of JAMB Physics Syllabus with an average percentage of the number of question in each year. TestDriller team has analyzed questions from 17 years to come up with these statistics. You can only get such rare statistics from TestDriller. This information should guide you on topics you should give more attention to.
The aim of the 2018 JAMB Physics Syllabus for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), is to prepare the candidates for the Board's examination. It is designed to test their achievement of the course objectives, which are to:
- Sustain their interest in physics;
- Develop attitude relevant to physics that encourage accuracy, precision and objectivity;
- Interpret physical phenomena, laws, definitions, concepts and other theories;
- Demonstrate the ability to solve correctly physics problems using relevant theories and concepts.
