This question is from the novel The Last Days at Forcados High school. Who was the best student in chemistry?

Analyze the question: This is a literature-in-English (JAMB English Language novel) question on The Last Days at Forcados High School by Abubakar Adam Ibrahim. It tests recall of a character detail from the text.

Recall the text: The novel follows Jimi, Ansa, Caro, Nene and others in their final days at the school. Here is how I remember the main characters:

• Ansa is the central, sensitive student at the heart of the story and its romance.
• Caro is a close friend of the group.
• Nene is another female student in the circle.
• Jimi is a bright, studious boy.

I can't retrace the exact passage that names the best chemistry student, so I can't check this independently with full confidence. Jimi is portrayed as academically strong and focused on the sciences, so this fits his character.

I can't fully confirm it from the text myself, so if you have the novel, check the chemistry class scenes to be sure.

Exam tip: For JAMB novel questions, don't just read the story once. Make a short character list with one distinguishing trait for each person, such as "Jimi: best in chemistry". These detail questions are usually easy marks if you've noted each character's strengths, flaws and role.
