1. JAMB mock examination
2. JAMB UTME examination
3. JAMB direct entry examination

• The JAMB mock examination is a sort of test that is given to JAMB candidates to prepare them for the main JAMB UTME examination. This exam is special and shares similar attributes with JAMB UTME. Those attributes include:

A. it’s setup which is just like a regular JAMB CBT examination, with exam schedules for every participant.
B. Its total score is 400 marks, just like JAMB UTME.
C. The JAMB subject combination is the same as the one to be used in JAMB mock.

 • The JAMB UTME examination is the main JAMB examination. This examination is the examination that is used to qualify higher institution aspirants for admission into the country’s universities, colleges, and polytechnics.
