Report reaching us has it that the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has disclosed that the body has been working with the possibility of conducting a “mock examination” to test its preparedness with the new technology and also examine some people that are desirous of knowing their competence with the JAMB examination.

He made this known during interaction with newsmen after a meeting with JAMB officials and other stakeholders regarding the new Information Technology being introduced into the system to make it less stressful to candidates.

Open Letter to JAMB 2017 Candidates - Use This Time To Prepare Adequately

I know many of you had almost forgotten about the upcoming 2017 UTME examination, well, this post is to remind you that JAMB registration is still being expected any moment from now.

It is said that most disappointments are blessings in disguise, the delay in commencement of JAMB registration has provided enough time for candidates to prepare. As a matter of fact, I believe that 2017 JAMB candidates have good chances of excelling in the exam considering the ample time they have to study unlike in previous years.

In my opinion, try to use this time wisely, because to whom much is given, much is expected lol...I mean JAMB has given you much time to prepare, do you think you really have any one to blame if you fall below expectation?

There may not be enough time to study once the registration commences. This is the time to read as much as you can, get all the necessary information that you need, Jamb Syllabus should not be far-fetched from you at this point.

Most candidates fail examinations as a result of nonchalance in studying. Some feel they are intelligent and therefore do not see studying as necessary due to over confidence.

Identify the areas/subjects you have problems and dedicate more time on them, believe me by the time you keep reviewing them, they will no longer be a problem.

Going through JAMB past questions is a very helpful measure to take towards preparing for JAMB examination. CBT practice software has made it easy for candidates to prepare, so it is important you access these resources.

Do not depend on "micro chips" or all forms of malpractices, beware of blogs that claim to have answers to 2017 JAMB questions. Do not patronize them. You might be scammed and disappointed on that day.

Always test yourself and see how accurately you can answer questions. The time to prepare is now!!!
