20 Possible Questions From JAMB’s 2017 Novel “In Dependence”

I have come with yet other JAMB possible questions from the book “In Dependence” for candidates preparing for 2017 UTME.

Nevertheless, I advise candidates to ensure they complete the novel before the date of the examination, so be fully prepared and read it all up not by cramming, but by fully understanding all scenarios of the novel.

→Remember Good Preparation Equals Good Results!←

Please also note that, this is not the exact questions for the 2017 UMTE, it’s just to familiarize you with the likely question so you can have an idea of how the questions will likely be presented to you during the examinations.
