The JAMB 2025 mock exam is just a few days away. If you’re feeling unprepared or anxious, you’re not alone. Many candidates are in the same boat. But here’s the good news: one week is enough to prepare and build the confidence you need — if you use your time wisely.
This article will guide you on how to make the most of the remaining 7 days. It’s not about reading everything, but reading smartly and practicing with purpose.
1. Know What the Mock Exam Is For
The JAMB mock is not the main UTME. It doesn’t affect your final score. But it’s a chance to:
- Get used to the CBT (Computer-Based Test) format
- Practice how to manage your time
- Test your speed and accuracy
- Get familiar with how questions are presented on the screen
Treat it like a real exam. What you learn here can help you avoid mistakes on the main day.
2. Create a Simple 7-Day Reading Plan
Don’t try to read all your textbooks. It’s too late for that. Instead, focus on key topics from each subject and solve practice questions. A simple plan might look like this:
- Day 1 & 2: English + 1 other subject
- Day 3 & 4: The other 2 subjects
- Day 5: Solve full-length practice questions from all 4 subjects
- Day 6: Review mistakes and read summaries
- Day 7: Light revision and rest
Break each day into 2 or 3 short reading sessions, not long hours that will tire you out.

3. Practice With CBT Apps or Software
If there’s one thing you must do this week, it’s CBT practice. Use apps like:
- MySchool CBT App
- Pass.ng
- TestDriller
These apps give you real JAMB-style questions and show you how the CBT screen looks. They also help you practice using the mouse, choosing answers, and navigating with keyboard shortcuts like:
- A, B, C, D to pick options
- N for next
- P for previous
- S to submit
This is your chance to learn how to use the computer without fear.
4. Focus on Time Management
In the real JAMB exam, time is your biggest enemy. Practice answering questions within the time limit. For example:
- English: 60 questions – 40 mins
- Other subjects: 40 questions each – 25 mins per subject
During your practice, set a timer. Don’t get stuck on difficult questions. Skip and come back later.
5. Revise Past Mistakes
Go through your past practice attempts. Check the questions you got wrong and understand why you missed them. This helps you avoid making the same mistakes again.
Sometimes, it’s not that you don’t know — it’s that you didn’t read the question properly or rushed your answer.
6. Rest Well and Stay Calm
Don’t stay up all night reading before your mock exam. Sleep is important for your brain. Try to sleep early every day, especially the night before your mock.
Stay away from stress. Believe in yourself. You’re not alone, and you’re doing your best — that’s what matters.
Final Words
One week is enough to change how you feel about the JAMB mock exam. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up prepared, calm, and ready to learn.
Use this mock as practice, not pressure. Take it seriously, but don’t let fear control you.
Study smart, rest well, and give it your best. We believe in you.
And remember — the main exam is still ahead. This is just the beginning.
