This JAMB Mathematics
Syllabus provides
guides to all candidates
who register to sit for
the Unified Tertiary
Matriculation
Examination (UTME) on
the English Language
content to be tested in
the examination.

The examination is
designed to test
candidates’ knowledge
of every aspect of the
syllabus developed for
Mathematics. Therefore,
candidates for the UTME
are expected to have
adequate knowledge of
the entire syllabus of the
English Language
subject.
Particular attention must
be paid to
recommended books
and literature for some
subjects, as questions
based on such
references will be set in
the 2025 JAMB UTME.

A compulsory
recommended book is
usually sold to every
candidate at registration
to encourage the culture
of reading. The book’s
content is tested as part
of the questions in
Mathematics, which is
compulsory for every
candidate. Therefore,
every candidate is
advised to ensure that
he/she is given a copy
of the book at the point
of registration.

GENERAL
OBJECTIVES
