Missing Questions in English Language Section
Many candidates reported that in their Use of English paper:
- Questions 1–10 were missing — only answer options appeared without any actual question.
- Some were advised by officials at their centres to leave the questions unanswered.
“In English, no question from 1 to 10, only options. I still ticked them,” said Ismail Muhammad.
“We were unable to answer questions 1 to 10 because there were no questions, only options,” added Eludoyin Helen Temitope.
This technical fault left candidates confused and worried about how it might affect their scores.

- Candidates reported that they had only 55 English questions instead of the usual 60.
- As a result, the total number of questions they faced during the exam was 175 instead of 180.
“I had only 175 questions, and my English started from question 6,” said Joshua.
“I couldn’t believe I saw only 55 English questions, and no comprehension passage was set,” another candidate added.
This reduction in questions has raised fears among candidates that their final scores might be negatively affected.
Candidates Worried About Their Results
Many candidates expressed deep concern about how JAMB would handle the situation:
- Will they be awarded bonus marks for the missing questions?
- Will their final scores be fairly adjusted to reflect the missing content?
Some candidates are simply praying that JAMB will not penalize them for a problem they did not cause.
A Call for JAMB to Act
The candidates are now calling on JAMB to:
- Investigate the missing questions issue quickly.
- Provide clear communication on how affected students’ scores will be treated.
- Assure candidates that they will not be unfairly penalized due to technical faults at the centres.
Final Words
As the 2025 UTME continues across Nigeria, candidates are hoping that JAMB will address these issues urgently.
The dream of securing admission should not be affected by problems that are beyond the students’ control.
I also had the same problem😭😭 please I hope jamb will look into it cus if not it won’t be fair 😭
I too experience such problem. From No 1 – 10 no question was provided only options
Yes it’s true I I wrote my exams today9.00oclock paper, as I wanted to summit I was told I answered 175 questions ,I was surprised and cross checked my work again 😔😔 found out that there was non I left unanswered I hope it won’t affect our score
Same in my center too
On the pending pandemic, “I would appreciate it if you could provide a response at your earliest convenience.”
Same to me I saw the English language 55 questions and my number 1-10 weren’t having questions but only answers I waved at the invigilator in my centre and she said that it’s general. I was confused but I still ticked them out of fear it might affect my score but I’m not still sure about what I picked please for those that still pick it doesn’t mean we saw our questions too please can JAMB do something to rectify the situation 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
My English questions are incomplete. We were given only 55 questions instead of 60. And also number one to number 10 contains only options without questions
The English was 55 questions instead of 60 and 10 out of 55 there wasn’t questions only options
All together 175 instead of 180 questions
So far so good,inspira college CBT center was the best,a fully air-conditioning environment without any glitches when using the computer
Not to talk about the invigilator with carefree attitude during the biometric process they were very patient
In my center we had to skip 10 question which the questions are missing but the options are there hoping that jamb does not penalize us for what we did not know about and they should take it as bonus.
Or rather they should resolve the issue…. please I am begging, so as not to temper with my score. Thank you
They said we should not bring calculator that there will be inbuilt one in the system, but they was nothing. And my physics and chemistry was made up of 70% calculations, I was guessing to answer
Same too at sascon international school Abuja, i was expecting 60 question but we all on the centre only got 55 question 10 question with option and no question was detected and we were told it was a bonus mark for all of us in the centre hope it won’t affect our result.
Total question answered in jamb today was 175 instead of 180.
Please let them solve the issue for our sake getting admission this year
This one was annoying they should do something about it oo
Same here too
We are ask to pick random answers for 1- 10

I encountered the same problem at my center. My total questions were 175. English was the subject with the fault, as my English questions were 55 instead of 60, and my first ten questions had only options with no questions attached to them.
