• Click inside (not outside) the small circle/button behind the letter (A, B, C or D) of your selected answer.

Managing Jamb Examination Time 

Time management is key when taking examination. Your output at the end of the day to an event depends on your ability to properly manage your time. Here are some tips that will be helpful in managing Jamb examination time during the UTME.

• Log in with your registration number as quickly as possible. Do well to confirm the registration number after you have types it to ensure it is accurate.
• Note that the registration number consist of 8 digits and 2 letters of the alphabet.
• Know the amount of time allowed for the examination. Be sure to know how much time you have for the entire examination.
• Divide the time in minutes by the number of questions you have to answer. What you would get would be the average time you have to spend answering each questions.
• It is one thing to know how much time you have, but it is most important to be conscious of that time.
• You are advised to attempt the practice test to test yourself on how you will manage your time during the examination.
• For example, if the duration of the JAMB UTME is 2 hours, within which 180 multiple choice questions are to be answered, to allot time adequately to each question, divide 120 minutes (i.e. 2hrs) by 180. This will give you 40 seconds.
• Hence, you are expected to spend about 40 seconds (less than a minute) on each question.
• Power outage or system failure will not result in the loss of selected answers or the extent of work done and the time allowed, so do not panic when there is an outage. You will be guided on what to do by the Jamb officials.
