On Monday (today), the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced that, unless there are any unexpected changes, a mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Mock-UTME) will be held on Thursday, March 7.
In the public statement, the exam body stated that 260,249 candidates who expressed interest during registration will take part in the mock exam.

It is worth recalling that the introduction of the Mock-UTME in 2017 by JAMB was aimed at giving interested candidates the chance to familiarize themselves with the CBT experience, overcome any fears and anxieties, and gain some understanding of the UTME before the main examination.
This exercise not only allows the Board to test out new innovations and features planned for the main UTME but also helps assess its preparedness for the actual examination.
Additionally, it provides candidates, especially those unfamiliar with computer usage, an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the CBT environment and those who wish to become familiar with the CBT mode of testing before the main examination.

JAMB has repeatedly informed candidates that the Mock-UTME score is not added to the total score of the candidate at the UTME.
“To this end, all candidates, who had registered for the 2024 optional mock UTME are to print their notification slips which contain their centers, venue, time of the examination, among other details.
“On the day of the examination, candidates are enjoined to be at their centers one hour before the examination for biometric verification as the examination would be taken with the full complement of traditions that characterize the main examination.
