Feedback from candidates who participated in the 2021 JAMB UTME Mock examination confirms that the CBT interface and question structure remain consistent with the practice environment on the Mentra JAMB CBT app (available on both Android and iOS).

What Mock Candidates Observed in the CBT Hall

  • Biometric Verification & CCTV: Fingerprint verification was mandatory before entry, and halls were monitored via CCTV.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts vs. Mouse: Both the mouse and keyboard keys (A, B, C, D to select options, N for Next, P for Previous, S to Submit) worked smoothly, with keyboard navigation proving much faster.
  • On-Screen Calculator: A basic on-screen calculator was available at the top of the screen for calculation subjects.
  • Auto-Submit on Time Expiry: For candidates whose countdown timer reached zero before they clicked submit, the system automatically saved and submitted all their selected answers.

During the mock exam, I noticed that pressing 'S' by mistake brings up a warning asking if you really want to submit, so you can't accidentally submit your exam.

Very important observation, Gerald! Even if a candidate accidentally presses 'S', the CBT software asks for confirmation (Y/N), and the submit button is also disabled during the first hour of the exam.
