Common Candidate Mistakes to Avoid

Thinking Computer Science doesn't need Physics — most universities still require it at JAMB and O'Level.
Some universities accept Economics or Biology as the 4th JAMB subject instead of Chemistry — always confirm on the specific university's admission page.
Weak Mathematics score hurting departmental screening more than expected.
