What Is JAMB Mock Exam – All You Should Know

JAMB mock exam is the forerunner of the main JAMB UTME examination, that is, the JAMB mock examination holds before the main JAMB UTME examination. This mock exam is to help the aspirants get acquainted with the JAMB UTME exam setting before the actual date of commencement.

On Saturday, 29th April 2024, the JAMB mock exam will hold in JAMB CBT centres nationwide.

The JAMB mock examination is a one-time examination, it doesn’t hold at different times like the regular JAMB UTME examination.

This is a result of the decision of the JAMB authorities to allow only a number of candidates that can sit for the exam, in all parts of the country at the same time. Not less than 175,000 candidates will sit for the JAMB 2024 mock.

Everything You Need To Know About JAMB Mock Exam 2024

There are some facts to note about JAMB mock exam 2024.

1. It should be known that the JAMB mock exam is not the same and will never be the same as the JAMB UTME examination. Students may get confused, because of the similarities between both examinations. But they are not the same due to the validity of the results gotten from the two exams. JAMB mock exam result is just for confidence boosting or to know areas of study where improvement is needed, but JAMB UTME result is the first line of screening for any higher institution aspirant in Nigeria. Do you see the difference between the two examinations?
2. The JAMB mock is not an exam that candidates will be forced to come and write, and it doesn’t have any penalty for anyone who doesn’t sit for it. Every Nigerian university aspirant every year has the choice to sit out of the mock exam, or to partake in it. This may change in the nearest future but as of 2024, it’s purely optional.

   Direct entry candidates are those candidates who are trying to switch to the university system from a polytechnic. They have probably written JAMB in the past, so the focus of the JAMB mock exam in the meantime is on the JAMB first-timers.
