The 2020 JAMB examination will hold approximately 1 week from now. Thus far, we’ve provided you with almost all the resources for you to prepare adequately for the exam. While you are preparing earnestly for your examination, there are few things we think you also need to remember as the test date approaches.
JAMB 2020 CBT Question Format
You will be given two hours to answer 180 questions; 60 for English, and 40 for each of the other subjects. Speed, and accuracy matter a lot.
Jamb Cbt Important Keys to Remember
If you are using the keyboard, here are the most important keys;
N – To move to the next question
P – To go back to the previous question
A – To select option A on a question
B – To select option B on a question
C – To select option C on a question
D – To select option D on a question
S – To submit your exam (Be Careful)
R – To Cancel Submit (and RETURN)
The above will be stated before you start the exam, so you should read the instructions properly before starting.
However, you should note that there are actions you cannot perform using the keyboard. In this case, you must use your Mouse (or track-pad).These are;
- If you need to switch from one subject to another. That is if you want to answer a particular subject before going to another.
- If you need to use the on-screen calculator at the top right corner of your screen.
The on-screen calculator will be available on the screen for candidates who will be taking subjects that involve calculations.
If you have practised the use of the mouse as a substitute for all the above keys, It may actually be better for you to use mouse for the entire exam process.
Randomized Questions
It is also important that candidates note that the questions generated for candidates are jumbled in such a way that they appear differently for each candidate.
For instance, your number 1 question may likely be different from that of your neighbour. That simply means if you choose “A” as your answer just because your neighbour says the answer is “A”, you may have only succeeded in shooting your self in the foot as two of you may be answering different questions.
