“Will My JAMB English and Maths Questions Be Different from Others?” Candidate Asks Ahead of Exam

A 2025 UTME candidate, Abubakar Sadiq, who is scheduled to write his exam at 2:00 PM tomorrow, has raised a common and important question that many other candidates also wonder about.

He asked:

“I really appreciate this platform, but what I don’t understand is that — is every candidate getting different questions in English and Math? I’m having exam 2:00 PM tomorrow. Will my English questions be different from those that wrote 6:30 AM today?”

The Answer: Yes, JAMB Questions Are Randomized

Yes — even though the topics may be similar, no two candidates get the exact same questions in the same order.

JAMB uses a question randomization system. This means:

• Your questions and options will be shuffled differently from another candidate’s
• Someone writing at 6:30 AM and someone writing at 2:00 PM will not receive the same exact set of questions
• Even candidates writing at the same time in the same hall won’t get the same arrangement of questions

So yes, your English and Maths questions will be different in terms of order and sometimes even content.

Why Does JAMB Do This?

This is part of JAMB’s strategy to prevent cheating and malpractice. With question banks that rotate and auto-generate, expo no longer works, and every candidate is tested fairly.

Final Advice

Don’t worry about what others saw in their own papers. Focus on your revision, stay confident, and go into the exam prepared.

You have all it takes to do well. Good luck, Abubakar — and to every candidate writing tomorrow!
