The date for 2024 UTME has been officially announced to commence on Friday, 19th to Monday, 29th April, 2024. As this day is approaching, there are some things all candidates writing JAMB UTME should bear in mind.
Firstly, candidates should bear in mind that JAMB is very easy to pass with a high score. There is nothing that contributes to the poor performance of students in UTME as to the fear of the exam. It isn’t as difficult as you think.
Many things have contributed to the fear of candidates, and one of them is how to write jamb using a computer. A good percentage of candidates don’t know how to use a computer, and since the exam is CBT, their problem becomes aggravated.
You don’t need to be a computer guru to write a CBT. The JAMB CBT centers are made in such a way that will ensure candidates who are not proficient in the use of a computer to write the exam without any hitch. The computer operators and the invigilators are there to assist if you have any problem with the computer.
Trust me, all you will have to do is to handle the mouse, click on answers, click on next, and then click on submit after you have finished the exam.
