JAMB 2026 Mock Exam - Live Updates!

This is the LIVE UPDATES post for JAMB 2026 Mock Exam. This post's comment section will help us monitor the happenings at the various centres nationwide and serve as a means of providing updates to candidates who do not have the opportunity to write the mock. This post will also help candidates learn a few things that may be vital on the actual exam day which starts on 16th April, 2026.

We, therefore, advise candidates to check this post's comment section every minute to view the latest comments and updates on the 2026 JAMB mock exams happening nationwide. Remember, the mock exam is designed to help JAMB test its systems. It's also an opportunity for JAMB candidates to have first-hand knowledge of any new technology that JAMB may have put in place for the 2026 UTME.

For those who won't be taking part in the mock, and would like to have some experience of the real JAMB CBT Exam, we advise you to get the JAMB CBT Mobile App or/and you can also get the actual SchoolGist JAMB CBT Software. You definitely won't regret it. Candidates can also join the SchoolGist JAMB WhatsApp group where JAMB 2026 candidates or prospective students of a particular school can ask questions, share their concerns and get instant answers. CLICK HERE to join.

Candidates taking the mock exam are urged to use the comment section to update us every inch of the way. Let us know when you get to your centre, any delays, and problems experienced as well as any other occurrence worthy of note.

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. This may help JAMB officials avert such occurrences in the main exam.

Please let us know the State and Centre you are reporting from so that the JAMB officials looking at this post can take note, and make the relevant adjustments before the actual exam day.
