How to Check Your JAMB Mock Exam Result

If you are one of the candidates who participated in the JAMB mock exam on March 7, you might be wondering how you did and what your score means. The JAMB mock exam is a practice test that helps you prepare for the main UTME, which will be held starting from 19th April 2024. In this article, we will explain how to check your JAMB mock exam result, how to interpret it, and how to improve it.

What is the JAMB mock exam?

JAMB stands for Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, the body that conducts the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for candidates seeking admission into various tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The UTME is a computer-based test (CBT) that covers four subjects chosen by the candidates based on their preferred course of study.

The JAMB mock exam is an optional and free examination that simulates the real JAMB exam. It is usually scheduled a few weeks before the main exam, and candidates who register for it will get a chance to experience the CBT environment and the exam format. The mock exam also helps candidates to test their knowledge and skills in the four subjects they will write in the UTME, and to identify their strengths and weaknesses.

The JAMB mock exam for 2024/2025 was held on 7th March 2024 in selected accredited CBT centres across the country. Candidates who registered for the mock exam were notified of their exam date, time, and venue via email or SMS.

How to interpret your JAMB mock exam result 2024

Your JAMB mock exam result will show you the following information:

• Your name, registration number, and exam date.
• The subjects you wrote and the scores you obtained in each of them.
• The total score you obtained out of 400 marks.
• The minimum cut-off mark for your preferred course of study and institution.
• The performance analysis of your result, which will indicate whether you performed above average, average, or below average in each subject.

To calculate your JAMB mock exam result, you need to add up the scores you obtained in the four subjects you wrote and divide by 400. For example, if you scored 80 in English, 70 in Mathematics, 60 in Physics, and 50 in Chemistry, your total score will be 260 and your average score will be 260/400 = 0.65 or 65%.

To know the minimum cut-off mark for your preferred course of study and institution, you need to check the JAMB brochure or visit the official website of the institution. The cut-off mark varies depending on the course, the institution, and the number of applicants. Generally, the higher the cut-off mark, the more competitive the course or the institution is.

To know the performance analysis of your result, you need to compare your average score with the average score of other candidates who wrote the same subjects as you. The performance analysis will show you how you rank among your peers and whether you need to improve or maintain your performance. You can also use the performance analysis to set realistic goals and expectations for the main UTME.

• Stay positive and motivated. Believe in yourself and your ability to succeed. Avoid negative thoughts and distractions that may affect your concentration and confidence. Reward yourself for your achievements and learn from your failures.
