Summary
Over 2 million candidates have registered for the 2025 JAMB UTME! Find out what this means for you and how to prepare effectively for the big exam day. You've got this!
The 2025 JAMB UTME registration closed on March 8th, 2025, with a total of 2,030,627 candidates registered to write the exam in April. That's over 2 million students across Nigeria preparing for the same exam.
This figure doesn't include candidates writing from foreign centres, so the actual number is even higher. If you're one of these candidates, you're definitely not alone in this journey.
Mock Examination Statistics
About 200,115 candidates signed up for the optional mock UTME scheduled for April 5, 2025. Of these, 630 candidates also registered for the trial mock on the same day.
If you registered for the mock exam, you made a smart choice. Mock exams help you get familiar with the CBT exam environment and reduce anxiety on the actual exam day.
JAMB's Anti-Malpractice Measures
JAMB has implemented several measures to ensure fair play during the examination. All candidates should follow the exam rules and regulations strictly. Exam malpractice carries serious consequences, and success earned honestly is far more valuable.
How to Prepare for Your UTME
With registration complete, your focus should shift entirely to preparation. The months between now and exam day will determine your results.
Use JAMB CBT Practice Software and Apps
Computer-based test practice is no longer optional - it's necessary. Students who practice with CBT software before the exam perform significantly better than those who don't.
Ulearngo offers both a web-based CBT practice platform and an Android app for JAMB preparation. The platform includes:
- Thousands of JAMB past questions organized by subject and topic
- Detailed explanations for every answer
- Timed practice exams that simulate real UTME conditions
- Personalized practice focusing on your weak areas
- Progress tracking to monitor improvement
Study the JAMB Recommended Texts
Don't neglect the JAMB literature component. Make sure you're familiar with the approved texts for your exam. Many candidates lose points in Use of English because they skip the literature section.
Create a Consistent Study Schedule
Daily practice beats last-minute cramming. Even 45 minutes of focused JAMB CBT practice daily will significantly improve your score. Use the Ulearngo mobile app to practice during commutes, break times, or whenever you have spare moments.
What Successful Candidates Do Differently
Students who score 250+ in JAMB typically:
- Start preparation early (not two weeks before the exam)
- Practice with actual JAMB CBT software to get familiar with the interface
- Focus on understanding concepts, not memorizing answers
- Take timed practice exams regularly
- Review and learn from their mistakes
- Maintain good health - proper sleep, nutrition, and exercise

Final Reminders
Registration is complete. The exam date is set. What happens between now and then is entirely up to you.
Thousands of students score over 250 every year. The difference between them and others isn't intelligence - it's preparation. They use JAMB CBT practice apps consistently, they study strategically, and they take their preparation seriously.
You have access to the same resources. You have the same amount of time. The only question is: will you use them?
Good luck with your preparation.
