The use of these 8 keys without a mouse as introduced by JAMB is
intended to make the navigation of the examination easy and friendly for first
time user of computer or any electronic device. Even as we still hope to see JAMB use mouse in this year's UTME, it is important you know these eight keys and what they represent.
These eight (8) keys are:
1. A - it is used for choosing option A in response to questions.
2. B - it is used for choosing option B. If you are sure the answer to a
question is "B", you can use key "B" to choose that.
3. C - Used for choosing option C.
4. D - Used for choosing option D.
5. P – represents previous question. If you wanna go back to previous
question(s), you are to use key "P".
6. N – It represents next question(s). If you want to go to the next
question(s), use key "N".
7. S – is for submit. If you are done and you want to submit, use this
key.
8. R – is for reverse.
Important Notice
1. JAMB has reduced its questions to 180 and below is a breakdown of it:
- Use
of English (60 Questions)
- 2nd
Subject (40 Questions)
- 3rd
Subject (40 Questions)
- 4th
Subject (40 Questions)
2. You are to answer all these questions in 2 hours (120 minutes).
Therefore, you need the speed of light to achieve this. I will advise you time
yourself like this:
- Use
of English (40 mins).
- 2nd
Subject (27 mins).
- 3rd
Subject (27 mins).
- 4th
Subject (26 mins).
In other words, you need 40 seconds on each question during your JAMB
examination.
