Why You Must Study Past Questions

Many students make the mistake of reading their secondary school textbooks cover-to-cover without understanding how the college sets its questions. This is where Manny Spark comes in to guide you.

1. Understanding the Pattern: The entrance exam is usually a Computer Based Test (CBT). The questions are not always deep theoretical essays; they are fast-paced, objective questions designed to test your speed and accuracy.

2. Repetition: It is an open secret that examiner bodies often repeat questions from previous years or rephrase them slightly.

3. Time Management: By practicing with past questions, you learn to answer questions under pressure.

4. Confidence: Walking into the exam hall knowing you have solved similar problems before boosts your confidence significantly.

Essential Study Tips for Success

Buying the past questions is step one. Studying them effectively is step two. Here is how Dr. Manny recommends you study:

1. Create a Study Schedule

Don’t wait until a week before the exam. Allocate at least 2 hours daily to study. Split your time between the four core subjects (English, Bio, Chem, Physics).

2. Simulate the Exam Environment

Since the exam is CBT, practice answering questions quickly. Set a timer. Try to answer 50 questions in 40 minutes. This builds your speed.

3. Focus on Weak Areas

If you notice you are failing Chemistry questions in the sample pack, stop and go back to your textbooks. Read up on the topic, then come back to the questions.

4. Group Study

Find other aspirants. Discussing answers often helps you remember them better.

5. Stay Healthy

Your brain needs fuel. Eat well, drink water, and get enough sleep. A tired brain cannot retain information.

Exam Day Guidelines

On the day of the exam, anxiety can be your enemy. Here is how to conquer it:

• Arrive Early: Be at the venue (likely the Kano Campus Computer Centre) at least 1 hour before your scheduled time.

• Documents: Bring your exam slip, payment receipt, and a valid ID card.

• No Prohibited Items: Do not bring phones, smartwatches, or scientific calculators into the CBT hall unless explicitly allowed.

• Read Instructions: Before you click “Start,” read the instructions on the computer screen carefully.

Key Takeaway

Gaining admission into the College of Nursing and Midwifery Kano State is a prestigious achievement that sets you on a path to a fulfilling medical career. The entrance exam is the gateway, and the key to unlocking that gate is preparation.
