Over 260,000 Candidates Prepare for JAMB’s Mock-UTME on March 7 2024

On Thursday, March 7, 2024, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will assess a remarkable 260,249 applicants nationwide in a major step toward the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) of 2024. The exam takes place on February 26, 2024, following the conclusion of the 2023 UTME registration.

Important information was disseminated by JAMB spokesperson Dr. Fabian Benjamin via the Board’s Weekly Bulletin, with a focus on the significance of candidates printing their notification slips. This stage is essential for determining the venues, exam dates, and locations for each individual.

Candidates who registered for the optional mock-UTME in 2024 are advised to visit the official JAMB website at https://www.jamb.gov.ng, click the MENU button to access the 2024 Mock-UTME, and print their slips after entering their registration number in order to expedite this process.

For biometric verification, JAMB emphasized how important it is for candidates to arrive at their allotted centers at least one hour before the exam starts. The Board promised that the rigorous procedures and customs followed during the primary exam would also be followed during the mock-UTME.

Exam misconduct of any kind was strongly discouraged as JAMB confirmed that the mock test will be administered under close supervision and be fully covered by CCTV. Furthermore, candidates were cautioned against bringing into the exam rooms any forbidden objects, including phones, flash drives, calculators, wristwatches, and other unapproved things.

The Mock-UTME was launched in 2017 to provide JAMB with a testing ground for new ideas and features that would eventually be implemented in the main UTME. Additionally, it provides applicants with a useful chance, especially for those who are new to computer-based testing (CBT) or wish to familiarize themselves with the format prior to the main exam.

The mock-UTME will be conducted fairly, securely, and smoothly as March 7, 2024 approaches, and JAMB’s instructions and preparations reflect this dedication, laying the groundwork for the upcoming, more extensive exam. To get the most out of this practice test, candidates are urged to follow the instructions.

JAMB Silent on Reps’ Call for UTME Registration Extension

Days after the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) was unanimously instructed by the House of Representatives to extend the registration deadline for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), JAMB has said nothing, keeping candidates and stakeholders in the dark.

The House resolution requested JAMB to reopen the registration portal for an extra two weeks. It was released last week in response to a motion of urgent public significance presented by Hon. Hassan Shinkafi (PDP, Zamfara). Shinkafi voiced concern that certain candidates were being prevented from registering due to financial difficulties, which could result in their disqualification from the test.

A total of 1,975,926 candidates registered for the mandatory Computer-Based Test (CBT), which is a requirement for admission into Nigerian public and private tertiary institutions, during the registration portal’s initial opening on January 15–26.

Hon. Shinkafi emphasized the necessity for inclusivity and the need of accommodating applicants suffering financial restrictions in his argument that failing to extend the registration time could result in limited coverage and participation in this year’s UTME.

The House resolution was unanimously adopted, yet JAMB has not complied with the instruction or carried it out. On Thursday, March 7, the board will hold the 2024 UTME, in which no fewer than 260,249 candidates nationwide are anticipated to participate.

JAMB announced recently in a news bulletin that it was ready to hold a simulated UTME the same day. Those who signed up for the optional mock-UTME were told to print their notification slips, which contained information regarding the locations and times of their exam centers.

In order to evaluate preparedness, test new ideas, and acquaint applicants with the Computer-Based Test setting, JAMB launched the mock UTME in 2017. Parents and candidates alike are concerned about the lack of communication on the registration deadline extension, even in light of the announcement of the mock exam.

In order to guarantee greater participation and an equitable chance for each candidate, candidates and their families are eagerly awaiting JAMB’s reaction to the House of Representatives’ demand as the UTME date draws near. Stakeholders are closely monitoring JAMB’s next move as they negotiate the difficulties brought on by the nation’s current economic condition, and time is of the essence.

How to Prepare and Pass JAMB Mock Exam 2024/2025

Aspiring Nigerian college students should take advantage of the JAMB Mock Exam to determine how prepared they are for the big event. You can learn a lot about your skills and shortcomings, become comfortable with the exam style, and increase your confidence for the real test by carefully addressing this practice exam.

Accept the JAMB syllabus and make sure you are aware of the particular subjects’ topics and content areas. To familiarize yourself with the question types, frequent themes, and difficulty levels, use previous JAMB questions and mock exams. Your comprehension will be strengthened, and your test-taking techniques will be improved, with this exercise.

Recall that JAMB tests have a timing. Practice finishing mock exams in simulated exam settings to prevent last-minute rushing during the real exam. This will assist you in creating efficient time management plans and in becoming used to doing tasks within the allocated time. Never be afraid to ask instructors, tutors, or even seniors who have taken the JAMB exam before for assistance. Their advice and views can be very helpful in resolving particular issues and dispelling any questions you may have.

On the day of the practice test, keep your thoughts clear and concentrated. Recall that this is really a chance for you to grow and learn, not a final appraisal of your abilities. Make every effort to imitate the real exam setting by wearing suitably, being on time, and packing all required supplies. Read the directions carefully for every section containing questions and answers. Knowing what’s expected of you will help you steer clear of misunderstandings and needless errors.

After the fake exam is over, go over your responses and note any areas where you found it difficult. You can improve your weak areas and focus on your future preparation with the aid of this self-analysis. You can obtain important insights and develop the confidence you need to succeed in the real JAMB exam and get into the college of your choice by paying attention to these pointers and tackling the JAMB Mock Exam carefully.

Conclusion

You can improve your chances of being admitted to the Nigerian institution of your choice by making sure you are well-prepared for the application and examination process by keeping up with the most recent JAMB news and updates.
