 HINTS
 You should be able to work on your speed and the degree of accuracy while
reasoning to answer any of the questions during exams (It’s a reason for which
this tutorial guide has been provided.) Try not to waste too much time on just a
particular question, as this may have direct consequences on your performance
during the exams. *It would be wiser if you leave any question you do not have the answer(s) to, and
return to them later when you’re done with the rest.
 You may be given as much as 69 or even more questions to answer within an
hour and thirty minutes or even more. They are often subjective questions and
are usually presented with bullets ( ) preceding each of them. The question
papers could also be of various types. This means that your own questions may
not be similar to those of your neighbours’ in the examination hall, or the
sequence in arrangement of the questions may be completely different between
you and the persons sitting next to you in the hall.
 Ensure to locate your venue for the exams at least a day to the exams and arrive
at least an hour to the time the exams has been scheduled to start.
 Try as much as you can to be independent and self-sufficient before and during
the exams. Go to the hall with all that will be required of you, including pencils,
biros, erasers, your fee clearance card, your course registration card, your school
identity card, etc.
 All watches and electronic devices are usually prohibited in the hall.
 Be sure to confirm that all sides of your question paper have the complete
number of questions. *An announcement will be made in the hall for this purpose.
 You may encounter repetition of questions during the course of the examination
(as in question a & b of this tutorial guide). This isn’t unusual. Answer them
correctly! *If you think of more than one answer to be correct for repeated
questions (i.e you’re not sure of the answers,) I advise that you write the
