Preparing for JAMB 2025 can sometimes feel lonely. You sit with your books, try to understand difficult topics, and sometimes feel like giving up. But studying doesn’t always have to be a solo journey. Having a serious reading partner can make a big difference. The right partner can motivate you, explain what you don’t understand, and keep you focused.

The problem is, not everyone is serious about reading. Some people just want to gist or pretend to be studying. So how do you find the right kind of reading partner—someone who truly wants to pass JAMB like you do?

Let’s talk about that in a simple and real way.

Know What You’re Looking For

Before you find a reading partner, first be sure of the kind of person you want to study with. Do you want someone who’s good in a subject you’re weak in? Do you want someone who can help you stay consistent? Or are you simply looking for someone to share study time with so you don’t feel alone?

When you know what kind of help you need, it becomes easier to choose the right person. Some people are better at explaining things, while others are more disciplined and can help you stick to a timetable. The best reading partner is someone who has the same JAMB goals and takes it as seriously as you do.

Look Around Your School or Tutorial Center

One of the best places to find serious reading partners is right around you—in your school or tutorial center. Pay attention to the students who always ask smart questions in class, those who take notes, and those who are always on time. They are usually the serious ones.

You can politely ask one of them if they’d like to read with you. You don’t have to make it a big thing. Just suggest studying together for one subject or topic and see how it goes. If it works well, you can continue from there.

Join JAMB Study Groups (But Be Careful)

Many JAMB candidates create study groups—both online and offline. On platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram, there are JAMB 2025 groups where students ask and answer questions together. These groups can be helpful, but not all of them are serious. Some turn into places for gossip, jokes, and distractions.

Before joining or staying in any group, check the kind of people in it. Are they active and focused on learning? Are questions being answered properly? Do they share helpful materials and past questions? If the group is serious, then it’s a good place to find someone who matches your level of commitment.

You can also join our Facebook JAMB 2025 group and post “I want a serious reading partner” and then list your subjects and course

Talk to Friends Who Are Also Preparing

Sometimes your own friends may also be preparing for JAMB 2025, but you may not know how serious they are until you ask. Have an honest conversation. Tell them you want a partner that will help you stay focused, and see if they’re interested.

If you find out a friend is truly serious, that’s a bonus. You already know each other, so studying together may feel more comfortable. But make sure the focus stays on revision. Don’t let friendship turn study time into gist time. Set rules and respect the goal: to pass JAMB.

Try One-on-One Before Creating a Group

Before you start reading with two or three people, it’s better to try one-on-one first. A small study partnership is easier to manage and less distracting. With just one person, you can build a rhythm—decide what time to read, which subjects to cover, and how to help each other grow.

As you both get better and more serious, you can now add one or two other students who are also focused. The goal is quality, not quantity. A group of two serious students is better than a group of ten people who come just to waste time.

Final Words

Finding a serious reading partner as a JAMB 2025 candidate is not about luck. It’s about being clear on what you want, watching how people behave, and choosing someone who shares your seriousness. Whether it’s someone from school, a tutorial class, or an online group, look for people who are focused, respectful, and hungry for success—just like you.

Reading with the right person can keep you motivated, help you understand tough topics faster, and make your JAMB preparation more enjoyable. And when two serious minds come together with one goal—passing JAMB—it becomes easier to win.

Stay focused, choose wisely, and keep your eyes on your goal.
