As the 2021 JAMB Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) commences on Saturday, 19th June 2021, following a simple routine the night before and on the morning of your exam will keep you calm, sharp, and focused.
The Night Before Your Exam
- Eat a Good Meal: Have a nourishing meal the evening before your test so your body is energized.
- Review Lightly & Sleep Early: Do not stay up reading all night into your exam morning. Do a light 30-minute review on the Mentra JAMB CBT app (available on both Android and iOS) and go to bed early so your brain is well-rested.
- Set Multiple Alarms: Set two or three alarms and ask a family member to wake you up early so you don't oversleep.
On the Morning of Your Exam
- Arrive at Least 30 Minutes Early: Be at your CBT centre at least 30 minutes before the time on your slip for accreditation and biometric capture.
- Drink Water Moderately: Avoid drinking excessive water right before entering the hall so you don't waste exam time on restroom breaks.
- Leave Prohibited Items Outside: Do not enter the CBT hall with phones, smartwatches, calculators, earpieces, or bags.
Inside the CBT Examination Hall
- Complete Biometric Verification: Ensure your thumbprint is verified before you sit for the exam.
- Start With Your Strongest Subject: Tackle your best subjects first to build confidence and save time for calculation questions.
- Answer All 180 Questions: Never leave any question unanswered before submitting, as there is no negative marking in JAMB.
