LATEST UPDATES! thread for JAMB 2018 Mock Exam.

We will now monitor all Mock Exams Nationwide from here, so that those who don't have the opportunity to write Mock will be updated. This thread will also be useful to even candidates, who wrote the exam, to help them gain even more experience that may be vital on the actual exam day that starts on 9th March.
Please come back every minute to this post to check the latest comments updates about the 2018 JAMB Mock Exam, so you too can gain vital experience that may be required for the main exam.
This year, JAMB is holding only one mock exam. Even though the Mock exam is designed to help JAMB test their Systems, it's also an opportunity for JAMB candidates to have first hand knowledge of the new technologies put in place for the 2018 UTME.
All JAMB Mock Candidates, Please use the comment section to update us every inch of the way, especially if you encounter any issues during the process. This is a Live Updates thread, so let us know when you get to your center, and if at all there is any delay or problems experienced during the process.
If you wish to take pictures of anything happening at the centre, you can do that and attach a copy in the comment section as evidence.
Please let us know the State and Centre location you are reporting from, so that JAMB officials looking at this thread can take notes.
Remember that mobile phones are not allowed into the hall, so don't use the updates of this thread as an excuse to take your phones into the hall. You can let us know your experience after the exam.
While in the hall, please take note of everything;
1. Check if there are actually CCTV Cameras
2. Check if the systems are special in anyway (maybe if there's no mouse)
3. When you login to take an exam, check how the CBT environment is laid out.
4. Where is the time Located, Where are your Subject Navigation Located, Where are the Question Numbers Located, e.t.c.
5. Check if you can use both Keyboard and Mouse (Remember JAMB said you can now use only Keyboard).
6. Check the time given for the exam
7. Check the number of questions given.
8. Remember that JAMB said typing "S" on the keyboard means you want to submit. Be careful!
Ensure you keep your items safe! Your phones, bags, money e.t.c. Please note that not everyone, who comes to the hall came for the exam. Some people are just natural thieves. They steal at every opportunity.
Just update us as much as you can, and we will appreciate every bit of information you pass across. We will create a thread for detailed experiences later in the day.
Goodluck!

JAMB BANNED THE FOLLOWING FROM ENTERING THE EXAM HALL

JAMB 2018 LATEST- LIST OF THINGS TO AVOID GOING TO THE EXAMINATION HALL WITH

JAMB BANNED THE FOLLOWING FROM ENTERING THE EXAM HALL 

A list of banned items by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board ahead of the 2018 Mock exam as well as the main exam has been released.
The prohibited items are
  • wrist watches,
  • pen/biro
  • mobile phones
  • or similar electronic devices
  • spy reading glasses which should be scrutinized
  • calculators or similar electronic devices
  • USB
  • CD
  • hard disks and/or similar storage devices
  • books or any reading/writing material
  • cameras
  • recorders
  • microphones
  • ear pieces
  • ink/pen readers
  • smart lenses
  • smart rings/jewellery
  • smart buttons and Bluetooth devices.
In case of medicated eye glasses, the examination officials are allowed to scrutinise it and where convinced that such item may compromise the sanctity of the examination, the examination official would have to confiscate it.
Whereby an examination official (board staff or ad hoc staff) or any authorised person is found with any of these prohibited items in the examination hall, such compromising action would be treated as a deliberate act of examination sabotage and necessary sanction will be applied.
These are part of the steps being taken by the JAMB Monitoring Goup, a Civil Society Groups inaugrated by the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, in checkmating examination malpractice.
Last year, the groups were reputed to have assisted in giving information from the field and transmitted several challenges, as applicable, to JAMB officials which helped in curbing the high rate of examination malpractices in 2017.

UTME 2018: CANDIDATES DEMAND POSTPONEMENT OF EXAM DATE

JAMB TO ANNOUNCE MOCK EXAM DATE SOON

UTME 2018: CANDIDATES DEMAND POSTPONEMENT OF EXAM DATE

A number of protesters took to the street in Lagos to demand that the date for the conduct of the 2018 UTME be postponed.
The protesters were seen carrying placards with various inscriptions like; “Admissions are yet to close, why conducting another UTME now?”; “JAMB isn’t for revenue generation, stop milking our parents,” “2017 UTME held in May, why March in 2018?”, “2018 admissions not transparent”.
Many argued the rationality of fixing another JAMB exam in March when the 2017/2018 Admission exercise had barely ended.
They said many of them, who had hoped to be admitted by various institutions during the 2017/2018 academic calendar year, just found out this week that they were not admitted and that less than one month cannot be enough to prepare for another examination.
Commenting on this, the National President of the Association of Tutorial School Operators (ATSO), Dotun Sodunke, said , the new head of JAMB needs to be called to order. He should not be carried away by the euphoria of revenue generation. The future of this country depends on these children.
“JAMB is sure that if you conduct the exam early, many candidates would fail, and they would come back to register again next year. This is so because their children don’t school here.” He said.
Responding to this, the JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said that was no basis for postponement of the exam; stating that it is not candidates are not the ones protesting against the UTME date but tutorial centres operators.
According to him, the tutorial centre operators are doing this because they want to keep the candidates at their centres till May so that they can get more money from them.
He mentioned that the Government wants all academic calendar to begin by August and that is why all admissions will be concluded by August this year which explains why the UTME date has to be fixed in March.
