Examiner Traps to Avoid in Science & Technology

Historical analysis of candidate errors across 10 years of JAMB/UTME past tests reveals these recurring trap patterns:

Trap #1

Hidden Unit Mismatches

JAMB frequently mixes cm with m, or grams with kilograms in physics and chemistry calculation questions. Always check SI units first.

Trap #2

Inverse & Double-Negative Phrasing

Watch out for questions ending with 'all the following are correct EXCEPT' or 'which is LEAST likely'. Circle key qualifiers immediately.

Trap #3

Common Chemistry Byproduct Distractors

In organic chemistry and gas preparation, examiners place secondary byproducts in options A and B to trick hurried candidates.
