HOW LONG DOES JAMB EXAMINATION LAST?

You should also bear in mind that if you do not submit your work within the given time, once the time elapses, the system will log you out, so you should learn how to make use of your time wisely.

HOW MANY MARK DOES EACH JAMB QUESTION HAVE

It would have been normal for use of English in JAMB to carry the highest mark since it contains more questions than other subjects well that is not the case.

Each of the four (4) subjects in your JAMB examination has a total of 100 marks. Therefore, regardless of the number of questions a JAMB subject has, it will sum up to 100 marks. These will result in a total number of 400 marks for the four (4) JAMB subjects.

You should also know that different questions carry different marks for the Use of English. Therefore, you have to be careful and smart when answering ‘Use of English’ questions. Take for instance:

Questions from comprehension passages carry more marks than a question from antonyms and synonyms, so you should be more careful while answering your comprehension questions.

Subjects such as Government, physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics, etc carry 2.5 marks for each question making 40 questions, to sum up to 100 marks.
