Prepclass is a web based, mobile responsive platform that provides students with high quality content related to local exams. Our current focus is on Jamb and we intend to also provide content for post-Jamb and university exams.

Students gain experience with writing computer based tests, learn their strengths and weakness and see detailed answers and explanations to various questions.

Introduction

In 2011, out of 1,500,000 Jamb candidates, 100,000 scored 250 and above. 31,000 candidates scored above 270

In 2012, out of 1,500,000 candidates 72,000 scored over 250. 910 candidates scored 270+

In 2013, out of 1.6 million candidates only 30,000 scored 250+ 628 scored above 270

We see a steadily worsening performance. Complicating issues Is the fact that JAMB is phasing out paper based tests, by 2015 all Jamb candidates will write Jamb exams on a computer.
