Many students face a silent barrier when it comes to exams—the fear of using computers. Computer phobia can lead to poor performance in the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exams, which are now largely conducted via Computer-Based Testing (CBT). This fear can cause anxiety, mistakes, and even exam failure.

The Problem: For students unfamiliar with computers, navigating the CBT interface, managing time, and responding to questions digitally can be overwhelming. Even strong students in traditional exams may underperform simply because of nervousness around technology.

How Maiduguri Capital School Helps:

  1. Early Exposure to Computers: From an early age, students interact with computers in a controlled, supportive environment, building comfort and confidence.
  2. CBT Mock Exams: The school regularly conducts mock JAMB CBT exams, allowing students to practice under real exam conditions. This reduces anxiety and familiarizes them with the format, timing, and navigation of digital tests.
  3. Guided Training: Teachers provide step-by-step guidance on computer use, ensuring students can handle multiple-choice interfaces, scroll through questions efficiently, and manage their time effectively.
  4. Building Confidence: Repeated practice, feedback, and support help students overcome fear, replacing nervousness with confidence. By the time they sit for the actual JAMB exam, the computer is no longer a source of stress but a familiar tool.
  5. Holistic Exam Preparation: Alongside CBT practice, Maiduguri Capital School emphasizes subject mastery, problem-solving, and critical thinking, ensuring students are prepared both academically and technically.

Computer phobia is a major reason why some students fail JAMB, but it doesn’t have to be. Maiduguri Capital School equips its students with the skills, confidence, and exposure they need to excel in CBT exams, turning a potential barrier into a stepping stone for success.
