The 2025 JAMB mock examination is now just 16 days away, with thousands of registered candidates preparing to sit for the test on April 5, 2025. The mock exam serves as a preparatory test for students ahead of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), which will begin on April 25, 2025.
JAMB has stated that the mock exam is optional, but candidates who registered for it will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the Computer-Based Test (CBT) environment before the main exam. The test is designed to help students understand the format of JAMB questions, improve time management skills, and reduce exam-day anxiety.
As the exam date approaches, candidates are advised to check their JAMB profiles regularly for updates on exam venue and time. The mock exam slip reprint is expected to be available soon, and candidates must print it to know their exam center and schedule.
Importance of the JAMB Mock Exam
Education experts have emphasized that taking the mock exam seriously can improve a candidate’s performance in the main UTME. The test helps students assess their strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to focus on areas that need improvement before the final exam.
JAMB has assured candidates that the mock exam will be conducted under strict supervision, with all necessary security measures in place to ensure a smooth process. Candidates have been advised to prepare well, revise past questions, and practice using the CBT format to boost their confidence.
JAMB’s Guidelines for Mock Exam Candidates
JAMB has reiterated that all candidates taking the mock exam must adhere to strict rules and regulations. Candidates will not be allowed to enter the exam hall with phones, smartwatches, bags, or any other prohibited items. Only the mock exam slip and a valid means of identification will be required for entry.
JAMB has also advised candidates to arrive early at their designated CBT centers to avoid any last-minute issues. Those who fail to follow the instructions may be denied entry into the exam hall.
Final Countdown to the Mock Exam
With just 16 days remaining before the mock exam, candidates are encouraged to intensify their preparations and ensure they are ready for the test. For many, this will be a crucial opportunity to gain confidence and experience before sitting for the actual UTME.
As the exam day draws closer, JAMB will continue to release updates, and candidates are urged to stay informed to avoid any last-minute surprises.
