When you’re preparing for JAMB 2025, you spend a lot of time in lessons—either in school, tutorial centers, or with private teachers. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself, “Are these lessons really helping me?”

It’s easy to attend classes every day and still feel stuck. Some students go from one lesson to another without seeing any real improvement. Others might be learning slowly without even knowing it. So how do you know if your lessons are working? How do you know if they’re truly helping you prepare for JAMB?

Let’s break it down in a way that makes sense.

You Understand Things Faster Than Before

One clear sign that your lessons are helping is that topics start making more sense. Maybe before, when someone mentioned “Calculating velocity” or “Figures of speech,” your mind would go blank. But now, after attending lessons, those same topics don’t feel so scary anymore. You find yourself understanding what the teacher is saying without much confusion.

If you can read your textbook on your own and understand it better because of what was explained in class, then your lesson is clearly making an impact.

You Can Explain Topics to Others

Another sign is when you can explain what you’ve learned to someone else without looking at your notes. Maybe a friend asks you, “What’s the difference between a phrase and a clause?” and you can answer confidently. That shows you’re not just hearing things in class—you’re actually learning and remembering.

Being able to teach someone else is one of the best ways to know you truly understand a topic. If you find yourself doing this often, your lessons are definitely working.

Your Confidence is Growing

When lessons are working, your confidence also grows. You no longer feel lost during CBT practice. You don’t panic as much when a tough question shows up. You may not know everything yet, but you feel like you’re making real progress. That inner confidence is a good sign that the lessons are building your knowledge step by step.

Confidence doesn’t mean you know it all. It just means you believe that with more practice and revision, you’ll be ready by the time JAMB arrives.

Your Scores Are Improving

If you’ve been taking practice tests or using past questions, check your scores. Are they getting better with time? Even if it’s a small improvement, it’s a big sign. A jump from 30/60 to 45/60 shows that something is changing. It means you’re starting to understand how to answer better, and your lessons are guiding you in the right direction.

Keep track of your progress. If your lessons are helping, you’ll begin to notice that certain subjects don’t stress you like before. That’s impact.

You’re Asking Better Questions

When you start asking smart and deep questions in class, it shows your brain is thinking more. At the beginning, you might have stayed quiet in lessons because you didn’t even know what to ask. But now, maybe you’re asking your tutor, “Sir, why does JAMB like to twist Government questions this way?” or “Ma, how can I remember this formula better?”

This is a clear sign of growth. It means the lessons are helping you think differently and understand how JAMB questions work. Your mind is no longer blank—it’s active.

Final Words

It’s not just about attending lessons. What matters is whether those lessons are helping you grow, think, and feel more ready for JAMB 2025. When you start understanding topics faster, explaining them to others, improving your scores, and asking smarter questions, then you’ll know your lessons are having a real impact.

And remember, learning is not about rushing. Even if progress is slow, it’s still progress. Keep attending classes that work for you, keep revising often, and use platforms like Assistedu to test yourself along the way. With the right mindset and good support, you’ll get there.

You’re on the right track—just don’t stop.
