The aim of this 2018 JAMB Mathematics Syllabus for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), is to prepare the candidates for the Board's examination. It is designed to test the achievement of the course objectives, which are to:

(1) acquire computational and manipulative skills;

(2) develop precise, logical and formal reasoning skills;

(3) develop deductive skills in interpretation of graphs, diagrams and data;

(4) apply mathematical concepts to resolve issues in daily living.

This syllabus is divided into five sections:

I. Number and Numeration.

II. Algebra

III. Geometry/Trigonometry.

IV. Calculus

V. Statistics

We provide a summary of JAMB Mathematics Syllabus with an average percentage of the number of question in each year. TestDriller team has analyzed questions from 17 years to come up with these statistics. You can only get such rare statistics from TestDriller.  This information should guide you on topics you should give more attention to.
