Question

Which secondary subjects should I focus on for JAMB?

I want to study Computer Science. I know Mathematics and English are compulsory, but I keep changing my mind about the other two subjects.

Physics feels necessary. The fourth one is where I am stuck: Chemistry or Geography? My school offers both and I do not want to spread myself too thin.

Check the current JAMB brochure for your course before you commit. Requirements change, and advice from three years ago can be wrong.

If both are accepted, pick the one you can practise consistently. A subject you enjoy is easier to revise for six months. Physics plus Chemistry is the common combination for Computer Science, but do not choose Chemistry just because it sounds more technical if you are already struggling with it.
