2026 JAMB Mock Exam - All the things candidates should know

Key Facts About the 2026 JAMB Mock Exam

  • It Is Optional and Does Not Count Toward Your Main Score: The mock exam score is never added to your main UTME result, and missing the mock does not affect your eligibility for the main exam.
  • Why JAMB Conducts the Mock: Introduced in 2017, the mock exam gives candidates hands-on familiarity with the CBT interface while allowing JAMB to stress-test computers and servers across accredited CBT centres ahead of the main exam.
  • Mock Slip Printing: Your mock exam slip shows your assigned CBT centre and batch time for Saturday, 28th March 2026.

How to Simulate the JAMB Mock Interface at Home

Even if you did not register for the physical JAMB mock, you can take unlimited timed mock exams with the exact JAMB CBT interface on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.

Hi Jessica, there is no penalty at all if you miss the mock exam. Your main UTME registration remains 100% valid.
