NOTE
Yes, using the JAMB recommended textbooks for Art is a great move, but do you know what’s even smarter? Following the official JAMB syllabus for Art (2025) while using those textbooks.
Why? Because the syllabus tells you exactly what topics to focus on. It helps you avoid wasting time reading chapters that won’t even appear in the exam. So instead of studying everything, you will be studying the right topics.
Also, don’t skip the JAMB past questions for Art. They are more useful than most students realize. Practicing with past questions will show you how questions are usually asked, help you manage your time during the exam, and if you use them well, you might even spot questions that JAMB tends to repeat.
So if you want to pass JAMB Art with confidence, make it a combo: Textbooks + Syllabus + Past Questions.
