As an art student, home economics is one of the easiest subjects to write and pass in JAMB; that is why many students include it in their exam options.

As I always advise students, make sure to add at least one easier subject while registering for JAMB; it makes things easier on the exam day. For science students, it’s geography while home economics is for art students.
