JAMB UTME: How to Use the On-Screen Calculator For Subjects Like Maths

According to reports, the 2016 JAMB so far so good has been going well for scholars who have written theirs. We want to share a quick hint for those who will be writing calculative subjects soon on how to use the JAMB on-screen calculator.

For the 2016 JAMB, you will be using what is called an “ON-SCREEN Calculator”. You will no longer be using physical, hard calculator. This type of calculator is the type you activate from the computer and you simply click on the values as you see them on the screen. It’s just like the type on your mobile phone.

According to reports from candidates that wrote on 27th Feb who shared their experiences online, the button for the calculator is located at the bottom right corner of the JAMB CBT Environment. Just click on it and the calculator will appear.

How to Use the JAMB On-Screen Calculator

If you want to practice how to use an “ON-SCREEN Calculator” on a computer system. Open the calculator from your computer, follow these steps;

1. Click on the start menu at the bottom left of your screen.

2. . Find and Click on “All Programs”.

3. Find and Click on “Accessories”

4. Then Find and Click on “Calculator”.

5. It should be very easy to use.

If the calculator you see now, is the type you see on the exam day, you can easily switch to the “Scientific” or “Statistics” part of the calculator by clicking “View” among the top menus in the calculator.

If you will be needing a calculator, you should practice using it before the exam to save you a lot of time and errors you can avoid by calculating using paper.
