The JAMB 2025 Mock Exam will take place tomorrow, Thursday, April 10.
This mock exam is for students who registered and paid for it during their JAMB registration. If you’re one of them, this is your chance to practice before the main exam.
Even though the mock is not compulsory, it is still very helpful. It gives you a chance to know how the real UTME will look and feel.
To help you prepare well, here are some important things you should do today, before going for the exam tomorrow.
1. Reprint Your Mock Exam Slip
Before you can write the JAMB mock exam, you must reprint your exam slip. This slip shows you important details like:
- Your exam date and time
- The name and address of your CBT centre
- Your registration number and seat number
If you don’t reprint your slip, you won’t know where and when to write the exam—and the officials won’t allow you into the exam hall without it.
You can reprint your slip by visiting the JAMB portal at www.jamb.gov.ng or go to any CBT centre or café that can help you do it.
Make sure the printout is clear, and all your details can be seen properly. You can print it in black and white—that’s okay.
2. Know Your Centre Location Today
Once you reprint your mock slip, the next thing to do is check where your CBT centre is.
If you don’t know the place well, try to:
- Use Google Maps to find it
- Ask someone around who knows the area
- Or even visit the centre today if it’s not too far
Don’t wait until tomorrow morning to start looking for the place. If you go late, you might miss the exam—and JAMB won’t reschedule it for you.
3. Get Your Transport and Items Ready
Make sure you plan how you’ll get to your centre tomorrow. Will you take a bus? Okada? Go with someone? Arrange it today.
Also, prepare the things you will carry:
- Your printed mock slip
- A valid ID card (if your centre asks for it)
- A bottle of water or small snack (only if allowed)
Do not bring phones, bags, calculators, smartwatches, or anything JAMB has banned. You won’t be allowed to enter with them.
4. Sleep Early Tonight
Don’t stay up late trying to read all night. The mock exam is not about reading everything at once. You need to be fresh and alert tomorrow.
Try to sleep early tonight so you can:
- Wake up on time
- Get ready without rushing
- Stay focused during the exam
When you sleep well, your brain works better. It helps you think clearly and stay calm in the exam hall.
5. Eat Before Leaving Home
Make sure you eat something before going to the exam centre. You may not be allowed to eat at the centre, and writing an exam with an empty stomach can make you feel weak or distracted.
You don’t need to eat heavy food. Just eat something light like:
- Bread and tea
- A banana or fruit
- Garri and groundnut
- Or anything small that gives you energy
Also, drink water so you stay hydrated. But don’t drink too much so you won’t need the toilet during the exam.
6. Arrive Early at the Centre
Tomorrow morning, try to leave your house early. It’s better to get to your exam centre and wait, than to go late and miss the exam.
You should get to the centre at least 1 hour before your exam time. This will give you enough time to:
- Find your way around
- Pass through security checks
- Settle down and relax before the exam starts
If you arrive late, you may not be allowed to enter the hall, even if you registered.
7. Dress Neatly and Comfortably
There is no strict dress code, but you should dress clean and simple.
Avoid wearing:
- Clothes with many pockets
- Heavy jewelry
- Anything too flashy
Wear something comfortable and respectful. Don’t dress in a way that might make security officers suspect you of hiding gadgets or cheating materials.
Simple dressing will help you feel relaxed and avoid any delay during checking.
8. Don’t Panic – The Mock Is Just Practice
The JAMB mock exam is not the real UTME. It is only for practice.
So don’t put yourself under pressure. If you do well, that’s great! If you don’t, it’s not the end—use the experience to know where to improve.
The mock is just to help you:
- Get used to the CBT system
- Test your speed and time
- See what a real exam day feels like
So, stay calm. No one will use your mock result to give you admission or disqualify you.
9. Good Luck and Final Tips
Here’s a quick reminder of what to do before tomorrow:
- Reprint your slip
