countries. Candidates will be required to attempt all the questions.
PAPER 2: will contain nine essay-type questions out of which candidates will be required to
answer four in 2 hours for 80 marks.
It will be made up of two sections; Sections A and B for candidates in Nigeria and
three sections; Sections A, B and C for candidates in Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and

Candidates in Nigeria will be required to attempt four questions in all, choosing two
questions from each of Sections A and B. Candidates in Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone
and The Gambia will be required to attempt four questions in all, choosing at least one
question from each of Sections A, B and C.
The questions will be distributed in the sections as follows:
Section A: Economic and Human Geography
This will consist of three essay-type questions on Economic and Human Geography.
Candidates in Nigeria will be required to attempt any two of them while candidates in
Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and The Gambia are to attempt at least one of the
questions.
Section B: Regional Geography of Candidate's Home Country
There will be a set of three essay-type questions on Regional Geography on each of
Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria Sierra Leone and The Gambia. Candidates in Nigeria will be
required to answer two of the questions on their country while those in the other
countries will answer at least one out of the sets for their countries.
Section C: Regional Geography of Africa
There will be three essay-type questions drawn from Africa for candidates in Ghana,

TO SCORE HIGH IN JAMB CBT 2017/18
How jamb cbt works is that each candidate are given different questions,
it is done this way in order to reduce exam malpractice but with our jamb source we are able to provide you with your answers 6 hours before you sit for you exams.
Now lets get straight to the main point, jamb releases all questions for day 1 candidates but what most people don't know is that all question for day 1 candidates are all the same denpending on the course, the only difference is just that the questions will be shuffled in order to look unique in each candidates eye.
For example if a candidates physics questions are :
1)What is viscosity?
A) is the internal friction between layers of liquid.
B) is the internal force between molecules
C) is the rise and fall of liquid in a narrow tube
D) is the movement of matter from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration
The correct answer is option A
but when the candidate enters the hall he or her options and questions will be shuffled.
