To do well in JAMB UTME, especially in Physics, you have to prepare textbooks that are easy to read and comprehend and with questions and answers. Also, to aid your understanding when reading the physics textbooks, you can go through the JAMB syllabus for physics.
As a physics teacher, I think some textbooks will help students write JAMB and Post-UTME, and I will use this page to list the books. I have made use of some of them and find them helpful. Also, students still in Senior Secondary Schools can use any of the textbooks I listed below. All of them can be used for self-study. I will recommend that you use more than one text as it can deepen your understanding of the subject.
If you want to pass and score high in JAMB physics, I recommend having more than two textbooks. The reason is that these texts treat each topic in physics differently, implying that you get a better understanding when you read a topic in more than one book.
Furthermore, you might be interested in the physics scheme of work I have compiled to guide you while reading any of the textbooks.
