Are JAMB questions repeated, or are new ones created for candidates? Want to find out? Read this article to the end.
I have seen a lot of candidates argue over this topic. That’s why I needed to end this saga once and for all.
This article will also find repeated JAMB questions/topics in some subjects.
Does JAMB repeat questions?
Yes, JAMB questions are repeated every year. Although they don’t come in the same way as the questions in the past questions, they are usually twisted to make them unique.
The truth is that JAMB does not have many new questions. You would surely see a pattern if you studied the past questions very well. Questions in some subjects, like English, literature, etc., are sometimes not repeated.
How many questions are in JAMB?
In JAMB, there are 60 questions in English Language and 40 questions in the three other subjects.
60+40+40+40 =180
This means there is a total of 180 questions in the JAMB exam.
Does JAMB repeat mock questions?
No, JAMB does not repeat mock questions. Most candidates make this mistake; they think JAMB is dumb enough to repeat mock or mop-up questions.
The mock questions are mostly JAMB past questions and are even simpler than what you will see in the main exam.
Does JAMB set different questions for different days?
Yes, JAMB will use different questions for different days. In my JAMB secrets post, I also mentioned that JAMB does not set the same questions for different days.
Don’t expect to see the questions of those who did their exam before when doing your own.
The fastest way to answer JAMB questions
Time is an important factor when it comes to JAMB CBT. The faster and more accurate you are, the better.
The fastest way to answer JAMB questions is to answer those you know very well. This will save you a lot of time. You can then go back to the unanswered questions and try your best.
