The syllabus, subject by subject

JAMB advises candidates to use the current syllabus. Each subject’s topics and objectives, as a page you can read on any phone.

Exam day

Organisation for the exam

Tips as you plan towards the examination

Put together all the examination materials you must have or present at the examination centre. You will need your e-registration slip: make photocopies and keep them in a safe place.
Get the final print-out showing your examination venue, time and seat number ahead of the exam day.
Take all the writing materials you may need, such as pencils or pens.
Go with your JAMB e-slip and the other documents required for verification at the examination centre.
Don’t take documents or items you aren’t required to have or present, so nothing gets lost.
Arrive at the examination centre well ahead of time for biometric verification (accreditation). Locate your centre before the day of the exam so you aren’t late.

Answering multiple-choice questions

Pay attention to instructions

Before you attempt any question, read and understand all the instructions for the examination, right to the end; don’t make assumptions. Your time starts counting when you click Start Exam. Check that the subjects displayed are your choices.

Read questions carefully

Because of time pressure, many candidates rush through questions without reading them properly and pick wrong answers. Read and think through each question before answering: some questions look like past questions you’ve studied, and sometimes two options look alike. Avoid making assumptions.

Selecting answers

If you aren’t comfortable with the mouse, use the keyboard to select your answers (A, B, C or D).
Click inside (not outside) the small circle beside the letter of your answer.
Pick just one answer: multiple-choice questions need exactly one.
Answer the easy questions first and come back to the hard ones.
Choose “all of the above” only when you’re sure every option above is correct, and “none of the above” only when you’re sure they’re all wrong.

Crosscheck your answers

If you have time left after answering every question, crosscheck your answers for mistakes. Avoid over-confidence: change an answer only when you’re certain it’s wrong. Make sure you’ve done everything required before you click Submit and end the examination.

Managing exam time

Time management is key in examinations: your result depends partly on how well you manage your time. These tips help during the UTME.

Log in with your registration number as quickly as possible, and check it after typing. The registration number has 8 digits and 2 letters.
Know the time allowed for the whole exam. Divide it in minutes by the number of questions: that’s the average time for each question.
Stay conscious of the time, and try the practice test to see how you’ll manage it in the examination.
Example: if the UTME lasts 2 hours (120 minutes) for 180 multiple-choice questions, 120 ÷ 180 gives about 40 seconds for each question.
A power outage or system failure won’t lose your selected answers or your time, so don’t panic. The exam officials will tell you what to do.

Verification at the exam centre

On arrival, sign in on the Biometric Verification Machine (BVM).
Sit at the seat labelled with the seat number assigned to you.
Attendance is taken by seat number.
After the examination, sign out on the BVM.

Using the keyboard instead of the mouse

Nine keys: A, B, C, D, P, N, S, R, Y

Press A, B, C or D to choose that option.
Press N for the next question and P for the previous one.
When you’ve finished, press S to end the exam. A box asks you to confirm.
Press Y to end the exam for good.
Pressed S by mistake? Press R to return and carry on. If you press Y instead of R, the exam is over and you can’t go back.

Practise under exam conditions with free CBT mock exams.
