The Last Supper: JAMB Christian Religious Studies Questions, Answers & Notes

What The Last Supper covers in the JAMB Christian Religious Studies syllabus

The Last Supper was the final (Passover) meal Jesus shared with His disciples, in an upper room, knowing His death was near. He took bread, saying 'This is my body,' and the cup, saying 'This is my blood of the covenant, poured out for many,' telling them 'Do this in remembrance of me' — thus instituting Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper), where the bread and wine symbolise His broken body and shed blood for our salvation, and the new covenant offers forgiveness of sins. He washed the disciples' feet to teach humility and service, and gave a new commandment: 'Love one another as I have loved you.' He predicted His betrayal by Judas Iscariot (who left to betray Him) and Peter's threefold denial. Christians observe Holy Communion to remember Jesus' death. The lesson: Jesus' sacrificial love for us, and His call to love and humbly serve one another.

For The Last Supper, JAMB expects you to be able to:

• Recall the Last Supper as a Passover meal and the words over bread and wine
• Explain the institution of Holy Communion and the new covenant

How The Last Supper is tested in JAMB Christian Religious Studies

Our The Last Supper bank holds 20 questions (16 medium, 4 hard). JAMB Christian Religious Studies typically returns to The Last Supper year after year, so steady practice on this topic is high-value revision. Questions are multiple-choice with four options, and at UTME pace you get roughly 40 seconds each — which is why timed practice matters.

How to answer The Last Supper questions

Work the stem first and predict the answer before you look at the options; then eliminate the ones that contradict the key facts above. Watch for “which is not…”, “all of the above” and “except” style stems, which are where rushed candidates lose easy marks on The Last Supper. If a calculation or a precise definition is involved, work it from first principles rather than guessing from a half-remembered rule. When two options look right, re-read the stem for the qualifier that separates them — JAMB rarely repeats an option by accident. If you are still unsure, eliminate the two weakest choices to lift your odds, flag the question, and move on; never burn a full minute on one Christian Religious Studies item when the exam gives you about forty seconds each. Then come back to flagged questions with whatever time remains. The single most reliable way to get faster at The Last Supper is repeated timed practice, so use the button above until the recurring patterns feel automatic.

Common mistakes to avoid in The Last Supper

The errors that cost marks on The Last Supper are usually careless rather than conceptual: misreading a negative stem, confusing two similar terms, or rushing a definition you actually know. Candidates also over-rely on “expo” and last-minute cramming instead of understanding the topic — which fails the moment JAMB rephrases a familiar idea. Treat every option as a claim to be checked against the facts above, keep your working tidy for any calculation, and don’t change a considered answer on a hunch. Above all, revise The Last Supper actively by answering questions, not just by re-reading notes — recall under time is what the exam rewards.
