How to Answer JAMB CBT Questions Quickly and Accurately

Published on March 7, 2025

JAMB is a computer-based test (CBT), which means you need speed and accuracy to succeed. Here’s how to answer questions efficiently and maximize your score.

1. Understand the CBT Interface

Before the exam, familiarize yourself with the JAMB CBT interface. Know how to navigate between questions, use the "Next" and "Previous" buttons, and submit your answers.

2. Read Questions Carefully

Many students lose marks by misinterpreting questions. Read each question properly before selecting an answer.

3. Answer Easy Questions First

Don’t waste time on difficult questions. Answer the easy ones first, then return to the harder ones.

4. Use the Elimination Method

If you're unsure about an answer, eliminate the wrong options first. This increases your chances of picking the correct answer.

5. Manage Your Time Effectively

JAMB gives you limited time per subject. Don’t spend too long on a single question—move on and come back if needed.

6. Avoid Guessing Blindly

Only guess when you have eliminated wrong options. Random guessing can reduce your accuracy.

7. Revise Your Answers If You Have Time

If you finish early, go back and review your answers. Ensure you didn’t make careless mistakes.

Conclusion

Practicing with CBT mock tests will help you improve your speed and accuracy. Stay calm, manage your time, and apply these strategies during the exam.
