JAMB Recommended Novel 2021
The novel recommended to be read by all the candidates participating in the 2021 JAMB UTME irrespective of their course of study is: “The Life Changer” by Khadija Abubakar Jalli.
Since JAMB introduced the use of novels in the Use of English exams, questions have been set from the compulsory novels. You may be asking, how many questions do they set from the recommended novels?
This means that you basically want to know what JAMB Novel you will require summary questions and answers for practice purposes.
Usually, 15 to 35 questions from the compulsory novel (s) are set each year. To be truthful with you, they should really be bonus marks for you as an aspirant.
It should boost your JAMB score and increase your chances of gaining entrance into your school of choice for the academic year.

JAMB has stated in their instructions that candidates will be tested on any of this novel in JAMB Use of English. Meaning that JAMB may decide to pick any novel as the recommended compulsory novel for 2021. Including the ones used last year.
The use of English is compulsory for all candidates, irrespective of your course or subject combination.

Brief Summary of JAMB Recommended Novel
A family of six awaits the arrival of Mr Esquire. While they wait, Bint gives an account of her classroom encounter with her intrusive Social studies teacher, Mallam Salihu, who is known to act as though he knew a bit more about every subject as he will often ask questions outside the subject of discussion.
Bint narrates how she genuinely handled a similar occurrence leaving the teacher dumbfounded by the cheering and laugher of other pupils.
Ummi is seamlessly proud of her daughter, particularly, Bint’s intelligent approach to issues and she joins in the discussion right before Omar joyfully announces his admission to study law at the Ahmadu Bello University.
As the family gather to celebrate Omar’s success, Omar boasts of his achievement and takes pride in solely overcoming examination challenges and several other entry procedures while seeking admission.
More Summary
Ummi recognises her son’s naivety and tries to enlighten him about the life-changing capability of university admission. Ummi tells her children how her admission changed her.
Twenty years ago, Ummi gains admission into the university and gets married to her husband even before she starts her registration.
Ummi tells them about the freedom and the carefree life of students in the university, the difficulty in distinguishing between teachers and students with female dressing almost naked and how some faculties are required to be on dress codes. Ummi further discloses her experience with Salma, a sophisticated young lady.
Salma goes for her registration much later than everyone else but expresses discomfort and irritation about the delay in the registration process.
