The Joint Admission Matriculation
Board (JAMB) will commence the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) for candidates across the country from Thursday, April 11.
Candidates seeking admission to
tertiary institutions are mandated to not only participate in the 2019 UTME but
also beat the cut-off mark.
JAMB have explicit rules and
guidelines which guide the exam process and defaulting candidates may be
disqualified from writing the computer-based test (CBT).
Here are seven important things
that will keep you fully prepared and help you ace the examination without
hitches.
Organise relevant documents
Prior to your exam, you should at
least print two copies of your JAMB slip. You will be expected to submit one at
your exam centre and you can keep the other for future reference. There’s no
need to take a pen or pencil along since the exam is computer-based.
Visit your exam centre before the D-day
Your exam schedule and CBT centre
are indicated on your Jamb slip. Visiting your exam centre before your exam
date will help you ascertain the distance between your home and your exam
venue.
It will make you familiarize with
the centre and help boost confidence on your exam day.
JAMB banned items
JAMB has specifically listed out
banned items for 2019 UTME candidates. These items include; calculators, mobile
phones, writing materials, fashion eyeglasses, wristwatches and other
electronic devices.
Coming to the exam hall with any
of the items may attract sanctions at the screening stage. Although if you use
spectacles for medical reasons, you should take it along.
JAMB said line detectors will be
installed at all centres to note those would need their glasses for the exam.
Plan to arrive early
Getting late to your exam venue
is one experience you should try your best to avoid. If you stay in an area
where traffic jam is likely to occur, you can stay with a friend whose place is
close to your exam venue, or leave home a couple of hours before your exam
time.
Ensure you are at your exam
centre 30 minutes before the time stipulated on your exam slip.
Comport yourself
From the screening stage to the
exam time, ensure you’re at your best manners and avoid unnecessary
distractions. Knowing that wrong behaviour might cost you your exam, it is
advised you’re focused on your exam and avoid any action that might implicate you.
Biometric Verification
Biometric verification is one of
the effective method JAMB uses to detect impersonators, so it’s compulsory for
every candidate.
If you usually have sweaty palms,
you should take a handkerchief along to dry your hands.
For females, avoid drawing
decorative paintings such as henna on your palm, as this may hinder the scanner
from easily identifying your fingerprints.
Manage your time
Once the exam starts, your time
starts running. To save your time, try to attempt subjects or question you know
best first, before going to the unfamiliar ones.
Remember to also click on the
submit button as soon as you are through with the exam.
