JAMB Schedule Mock Exam To March 23

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB has schedule to Saturday, March 23, 2019 for the conduct of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock exercise.

The exam body has therefore advised candidates to begin the printing of their mock examination notification slips from Wednesday, March 6, 2019.

You’ll recall that JAMB earlier shifted the date of the mock examination because it coincided with the postponed date of the 2019 presidential and National Assembly election.

Also, the 2019 UTME was expected to begin on March 16 and end on March 23 at JAMB’s computer-based test centers nationwide, but the postponement of the general election affected the dates.

However, according to Premium Times, the examination date has tentatively been shifted from March 16 to April 16 because of the general elections.

“The public should therefore note that the mock examination as its name implies, would not be used for any assessment process,”the statement said. It explained that “this year’s exercise is the third in the series of mock examinations conducted by the Board under the leadership of Prof. Is-haq Oloyede.” 

Recall that mock examination was introduced in 2017 to give candidates the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the conduct of Computer Based Test, particularly, candidates who are not conversant with the use of computers.
