*HOW TO SCORE 300 IN JAMB 2026 VIA READING, PAST QUESTIONS,

TUTORIALS AND EXAM ASSISTANCE*.

*FOUR WAYS TO PASS JAMB 2026 BY JUST ONCE ASSURANCE

CENTER ABUJA*

6 H
1)READING,
2)PAST QUESTIONS,
3)TUTORIALS
4)EXAM ASSISTANCE , DUBS,RUNS, EXPO

(SECTION ONE AND TWO)

THIS PART OF MY POST IS FOR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE MONEY TO

SPEND BUT HAVE TIME TO STUDY.

Anyone Who Tells You Jamb 2026 will be hard is absolutely lazy or deceitful,
Jamb 2026 is no different from previous Jamb exams so long you're prepared
for it. *JAMB IS THE EASIEST O’LEVEL EXAM IN NIGERIA*

What do I advise Candidates to do?

If you can't Afford a good Tutorial, stick to Your *ORIGINAL CBT Past
Questions(2014-2025)* and *JAMB 2026 syllabus* , and spend the last
3weeks to the exam with familiarizing yourself with all the questions and
solutions In JOA CONSULTS *SPECIAL JAMB CBT 2014 - 2025 PAST
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS MATERIAL*

There's no way you'll read And Familiarize yourself with the *JAMB
SYLLABUS, Original CBT Past Questions(2013-2024) and the
recommended textbooks* and Fail, if you've done that and Failed before,it's
not natural..

IF YOU NEED JAMB 2014-2025 CBT PAST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

FROM ALL DAYS AND SESSIONS(hard and soft copy) SEND ME A
MESSAGE AND YOU'LL GET IT BUT NOT FREE!!!! IT'S VERY
AFFORDABLE.

Send us a message on Whatsapp: 090333 59054, 070421 01989, 070466 33922, 09011 270636, 070874 91028

(SECTION THREE)

PART ONE: *( PAY TO GET YOUR OWN CBT EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS)*

THIS PART IS FOR THOSE WHO WILL READ BUT NEEDS A BACK UP(I
CALL THIS THE HELPER PACKAGE).(RUNZ, EXPO, CHEAT, DUBS)

YOUR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CANNOT BE GOTTEN A DAY

BEFORE THE EXAM SINCE THE USE OF CBT IT BECAME IMPOSSIBLE,
THE ONLY THING THAT CAN BE GOTTEN A DAY TO THE EXAM IS THE
ENTIRE QUESTIONS JAMB WOULD SET FOR THAT EXAM DAY. THAT IS
WHY SOME TUTORIALS DO OVERNIGHT FOR THEIR STUDENTS ON
THE EVE OF THEIR EXAMS, THEY ARE SOLVING THE ENTIRE
QUESTIONS JAMB WILL SET THE NEXT DAY.

SO WHEN CAN WE GET YOUR OWN QUESTIONS? FOUR HOURS TO

YOUR EXAM TIME.

The Good Part About This Is, It's Affordable But The Catch Is Your Success Is
In Your Hands, I'll Give you the EXPO HOURS BEFORE THE EXAMS (your
very own Questions and Answers JAMB 2026) That will Help You Pass, All
you have To do is Take A Few Hours To Your Exam To Read It ,Cram it
Extensively, I Beg you Don't Take anything to the hall if you do you're on your
own, after all it's a university you want to attend you must be able to read, so if
you're paying for the questions and answers package know that you've to
read it.

We also create Videos and Audios with the questions and answers sent to
candidates so you wont get bored easily, so you can request you get the
answers in Audio format , Video format, PDF Format ..

Our aim is to make sure anyone who associates themselves with JUST
ONCE ASSURANCE CENTER, scores above 300 and Get Admitted to the
university. When you succeed it's still you that will refer us To others and keep
us in business.

PART TWO : (DIRECT ANSWER PACKAGE)

This is another Helping Package : The already written exam.

We Can Upload Answers Directly To Your Computer when writing the Exam,
that means when you login all answers would have been ticked correctly, you

Send us a message on Whatsapp: 090333 59054, 070421 01989, 070466 33922, 09011 270636, 070874 91028

need not to carry out anything else but go through what we have done and
submit.

I'M SURE A LOT OF CANDIDATES ARE DOUBTING THIS, BUT YOU CAN
SINCE YOU'RE IGNORANT,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

ANSWER: WITH YOUR REGISTRATION DETAILS, ON THE EXAM DAY WE

LOGIN TO YOUR EXAM FROM OUR CBT CENTER HERE IN ABUJA AND
WRITE THE EXAM FOR YOU, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE IN
SOKOTO ,IT'S STILL THE SAME CBT NETWORK THAT ALL CENTERS
ARE SYNCED TO.
THIS IS NOT HACKING, NO SUCH THING AS A HACKING SOFTWARE,
THAT IS ALL LIES . WE LOGIN WITH YOUR REGISTRATION DETAILS
NORMALLY AS YOU WOULD IN THE EXAM HALL.
DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN WRITE YOUR JAMB EXAM IN ANY JAMB CBT
CENTER?

NOW YOU'RE ASKING IF WE INDEED WRITE THE EXAM FOR YOU IN

THE EARLY HOURS OF THE DAY, DOESN'T THAT MEAN YOU WON'T BE
ABLE TO LOGIN?

THAT'S FALSE, YOU'LL LOGIN AND YOUR TIME FRAME FOR THE EXAM
WILL BE INTACT, AND YOU CAN MAKE CHANGES TO THE ANSWERS
WE PICKED FOR YOU, WE USE NETWORK JAMMERS TO ENSURE THE
TIME ISN'T DEDUCTED.

THE CBT ENGINEERS WILL RELOAD THE EXAM, THIS ISN'T HACKING
OR TWEAKING AND HAS ZERO GLITCHES. ALL ANSWERS ARE 100%
CORRECT IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO MAKE 300+ THEN MAKE
REASONABLE CHANGES.

HAVE YOU EVER WITNESSED A SITUATION WHEREBY THE SYSTEM

WENT OFF , OR THE JAMB CBT NETWORK GOT TURNED OFF AND THE
CBT EXAM OFFICIALS HAD TO GET THE EXAM RESTARTED? (ASK
PEOPLE WHO HAVE WRITTEN JAMB CBT COUNTLESS TIMES THEY
KNOW, THE EXAM CAN BE RESTARTED)

Send us a message on Whatsapp: 090333 59054, 070421 01989, 070466 33922, 09011 270636, 070874 91028

THEN CLEARLY NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE, CCTV CAMERAS WON'T BE A

HINDRANCE BECAUSE NOTHING WILL BE DONE IN THE HALL
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE BEFORE THE EXAM BEGAN.

THIS GROUP OF SUBSCRIBERS, WE'RE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR

YOUR SCORES.

HOW TO USE OUR JAMB ASSISTANCE PACKAGES

A) Questions and Answers

Depending on the options you paid for, you'll be getting the exact
questions and answers four hours before the exam.

When you get the PDF or Audio or Video option ( default option is PDF),
Don't print it out, even if you do print it out don't take it to your Exam center

How to easily Cram the questions and answers , WRITE IT OUT In a

note.. Write out the questions and the answers chosen ( no need to write the
full options, just the option that's the answer), Writing helps memorization.

We won't call or text you when the message reaches your email (but a
general message will be sent on the group though), so it's advisable you set
an alarm on your phone, especially if your exam time is 7am or 9am. *DON'T
OVERSLEEP*

Depending on your email provider, you'll find the message in your inbox
folder or spam folder.

Send us a message on Whatsapp: 090333 59054, 070421 01989, 070466 33922, 09011 270636, 070874 91028

Stay Calm, Relaxed, and Sharp.

B) DIRECT ANSWER

IF YOU PAID For the 300 and Above.

So obviously we won't answer all the questions correctly, we answer some
questions incorrectly.

The questions answered incorrectly are usually flagged(red mark), if

you've taken jamb before I'm sure you're aware questions can be flagged, so
that way you know it's a wrong answer.
You can make as much changes as you want.

If you went for the 250, 290 option, It's the same the questions
unattempted is flagged.
