Medical student advises JAMB 2026 candidates
His post shared via his official account @goodluck on TikTok, garnered attention, with a mix of appreciation and queries from netizens regarding the examination.
Amos Goodluck, a first-year medical student, emphasised the importance of covering key topics in chemistry to ensure success in the examination.
He mentioned atomic structure as a crucial topic, urging JAMB candidates to grasp electronic configuration, isotopes, and atomic numbers.
Chemical bonding was another peculiar topic, according to Goodluck, who also stressed the importance of stoichiometry, particularly the mole concept.
Acid-base chemistry, including pH, pOH, and neutralisation, was also flagged as a vital area, along with the properties of acids, bases, and salts.

Goodluck also drew attention to electrolysis, advising candidates to understand electrolytes and the products formed during the process.
Additionally, he spoke about the rate of reaction, focusing on factors influencing the speed of chemical reactions and equilibrium.
Organic chemistry was also emphasised, with Goodluck advising candidates to focus on hydrocarbons, specifically alkanes and alkenes, and to familiarise themselves with IUPAC nomenclature.
In his words:
"If you're preparing for JAMB chemistry and you skip this topic, then you are taking a big risk. My name is Amos Goodluck and I'm a first year medical student, studying medicine and surgery in the prestigious University of Jos. Here are some important topics that you should not skip when preparing for JAMB chemistry. Number 1 is atomic structures. Try to understand electronic configuration, isotopes and even atomic numbers. Number 2 is chemical bonding. Number 3 is stoichiometry. This is where most calculation questions come from, especially that of mole concept. 4, acid base and salt.
"Know PH, POH and neutralization and most especially their properties. The 5th one is electrolysis. You should know electrolytes and the products that are being formed during electrolysis. Number 6 is rate of reaction. Try to focus on the factors affecting how fast a chemical reaction occur and focus more on equilibrium. Finally, organic chemistry. Focus on hydrocarbons like alkanes and alkenes. Then please make sure you know your IUPAC nomenclature. It is very important. If you're serious about scoring high in JAMB chemistry, make sure that these topics are part of your daily study."
The student's advice was seen as a timely reminder to candidates to grasp these critical topics in chemistry and reinforce their understanding.
