-
Test new technological innovations
-
Familiarize candidates with the Computer-Based Test (CBT) environment
-
Identify and address technical issues ahead of the main UTME
JAMB emphasized that this initiative is a key component of its strategy to improve the UTME experience year after year.
Technical Glitches and Delays
Some candidates experienced delays and disruptions during the mock exam. JAMB acknowledged these challenges and expressed regret for the inconvenience caused.
The board explained that these issues resulted from new features being tested for the upcoming main UTME in 2025. It urged candidates to remain supportive and understand that the mock exam is meant to iron out glitches before the main exam.
Why the JAMB Mock Exam Matters
Dr. Fabian Benjamin stated that the mock examination is more than a trial run. It helps JAMB:
-
Test infrastructure and innovation
-
Prepare its technical team
-
Improve user experience
-
Ensure fewer issues on main UTME day
Over the years, the mock UTME has helped candidates gain confidence, avoid common CBT mistakes, and better understand the exam pattern
