According to the information published on its Twitter handle @JAMBHQ, the date of the Mock examination will soon be announced

The purpose of the mock examination is to allow candidates FEEL what the main examination will look like.

However, the board stated that the mock examination is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL.That is to say, it is not really a pre-requiste for writing the actual UTME so you can choose to take the mock examination or choose not to.

The board equally disclosed that Interswitch Payment on the e-Facility portal has been temporarily disabled. And also, it will announce the list of its accredited centres soon.

JAMB tweets read: “There will be MOCK Exam before the main exam as earlier stated.

“We will be updating you soon on the exam date for the MOCK Exam. The MOCK exam is to allow candidates FEEL what the main examination will look like.

“Again, the MOCK exam is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL.

“In preparation for the #UTME2017 CBT centres nationwide are being accredited and the list of approved centres will be made public soon

“Interswitch Payment on the e-Facility portal has been temporarily disabled. We shall be updating you on this development”
