13. Will all candidates write the examination at the same time?

No. Each candidate taking the Computer Based Test will write the examination according to the scheduled/appointed time.

14. Must a candidate schedule an appointment with a test centre to take a computer based test?

No. Your schedule will be given at the point of e-registration.

15. When should a candidate schedule a testing appointment?

A candidate should schedule his/her appointment in advance of the test as the board will allow. Testing appointments are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. Therefore, to ensure getting an appointment at the testing centre of your choice, you should schedule your appointment as early as possible.

16. How does a candidate schedule a testing appointment?

A candidate should make a testing appointment via the internet during registration.

17. Will the candidate receive an e-mail confirming the testing appointment and should the candidate bring the confirmation printout to the examination centre?

Yes. You will receive an e-mail from JAMB stating the date, time and location of your examination. A candidate should also bring the original confirmation printout to the venue.

18. How do a candidate key in answers on a computer based test?

Answers to questions may be entered into the computer in either of two ways. You may key in answers by clicking on the option you believe to be the answer or tying in the letter of the option. Answers are recorded directly into the computer.

19. Can a candidate review answers or skip questions and answer them later when taking a computer based test?

Yes. A candidate may review and change answers after they have been entered into the computer during the examination or after you have attempted to answer all the questions before final submission.

20. How do a candidate know how much time is left?

The time will be displayed on the computer screen during the examination.

Before we conclude, I will like to explain two important things that candidates should take note of. Firstly, how to end the test. When a candidate has answered and reviewed all the questions, the candidate would be required to click the "END" button. Another box will ask you to confirm that you are ready to end the test. Once you confirm that you want to end, the test will close and you will not be able to regain entry.
