How to pass NECO exam 2024
Start preparing early:Give yourself enough time to study and revise all the subjects you’ll be tested on. Cramming is not an effective strategy for retaining information.
Create a study schedule: Design a study plan that includes all the subjects you need to cover, and allocate sufficient time for each subject based on your strengths and weaknesses.
