The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said that all candidates who registered for the 2025 Mock UTME can now print their notification slips. This was announced on Thursday, April 3, 2025.
The Mock exam will take place on Thursday, April 10, 2025. JAMB wants candidates to print their slips early, so they have enough time to prepare and plan for the exam.
Why the Mock UTME Is Important
The Mock UTME is not compulsory. It is a practice exam to help students:
- Test their readiness
- Get used to the CBT system
- Reduce exam fear
The score from the Mock exam does not count for the main UTME. It is only to help you practice.
What is in the Notification Slip?
The slip has important information like:
- Exam date
- Exam time
- Exam center (venue)
- Candidate’s registration details
You must print this slip and take it with you to the exam center. It helps you know where to go and when to arrive.
