Since JAMB announced "Lekki Headmaster" as the 2025 UTME novel for Use of English, candidates have been scrambling to get either the PDF or hard copy. But there's no need to worry—every registered candidate will be given access to the book, whether in PDF or hard copy format.
Historically, JAMB releases reading texts as hard copies, with the exception of the 2024 UTME, where the PDF version of Life Changer was provided due to economic constraints. This year, we expect the hard copy of Lekki Headmaster to be distributed at registration points, although there is still a chance a PDF version may be available.
So, there's no need to rush to bookstores in search of the novel. JAMB has likely secured most of the books for distribution to the nearly 2 million candidates expected for the 2025 UTME.
Once the novel becomes available, it will be featured in the SchoolGist App, along with possible questions and answers for the upcoming UTME. If a PDF version is released, we’ll also make it available in the app for free. Additionally, you can look forward to chapter-by-chapter summaries so download the SchoolGist app now.
Expect at least 15 JAMB questions from Lekki Headmaster, so activate your SchoolGist app to receive notifications as soon as questions from the novel are available.
Start your general study preparations now. Remember, it’s not just about studying hard; it’s about studying smart. Many questions in the UTME are repeated from past exams, so practising past questions is crucial. You can use the SchoolGist JAMB CBT Mobile App (for Android) or the SchoolGist JAMB CBT Software (for computers), both of which contain over 60,000 past questions and answers. Also, check out the SchoolGist CBT Classroom for more study resources.
