If you want to mark a high score in this section to 2025 hamHere’s how to prepare and answer understanding questions the right way.
Understand what Jamb tests
Jamb does not expect you to memorize the passage. What they want to see is How you can understand what you read. They will test:
- THE main idea passage
- THE The purpose or opinion of the writer
- Meanings of words in context
- Specific Details or facts in the passage
- Simple inferences (reading between lines)
So your work is not to rush. Your work consists of to understand.
Read the questions before passing (optional but useful)
Some students prefer to read the questions before reading the passage. This method helps you know what to look for during reading. For example, if you know there is a question about the mood of the writer or a specific word, your brain will note it when you read.
But this is only useful if you will not be confused. Try both methods during training and respect the one that suits you best.
Read the passage carefully but quickly
You don’t have to memorize each sentence, but you have to understand the message of each paragraph. Read in blocks (not by word) and focus on:
- THE first sentence (this often gives the main idea)
- Any contrasts or changes (for example “however”, “but”, “on the other hand …”)
- THE last sentence (it sometimes sums up the point)
If you don’t understand a sentence, don’t panic. Read the rest. Many questions are always responsible without complete understanding of each line.
Use the passage to find your answers
Most comprehension issues are textual. This means that the answer is there in the passage. Do not answer according to what you know or think – according to what the passage says.
Go back to the paragraph that talks about the question. Read the lines that surround it. Then choose the option that corresponds to what the passage really says.
Practice the meaning of the word in the context

- Read the sentence where the word appears

This is why practice is the key – you will improve in this skill the more you try.
