JAMB Computer Studies covers basic computer literacy — hardware, software, data processing and the fundamentals of how computers work. It is generally more practical/conceptual than programming-heavy.
Number systems (binary, decimal conversion), the components of a computer system, and everyday computer applications are tested every year. Understanding how a system processes input to output matters more than memorising jargon.
