You&rsquo;ll take English (which is compulsory) plus three other subjects related to your course of study. Each subject is worth 100 marks, giving you a total possible score of 400 marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The examination runs on computers, meaning you&rsquo;ll be clicking answers on a screen, not writing on paper. You get 2 hours to complete all four subjects, so time management is crucial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When it happens <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  href=\"https:\/\/schoolcafe.ng\/blog\/glossary\/jamb\/\"  target=\"_blank\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'  tabindex='0' role='link'>JAMB<\/a> calendar starts with registration opening around December or January. This is when you&rsquo;ll need to create your profile, choose your exam subjects, and select a center. The main examinations take place between March and May, with specific dates assigned to different centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Results are typically released within a month after your exam date. It&rsquo;s important to note that registration doesn&rsquo;t stay open indefinitely; there&rsquo;s usually a two-month window to register, so don&rsquo;t delay once it opens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How it works <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On your exam day, you&rsquo;ll arrive at your chosen center with your examination slip and valid ID. After biometric verification, you&rsquo;ll be assigned to a computer. The exam interface shows one question at a time, with options to mark questions for review or skip and return later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;re free to manage your two hours across all subjects as you prefer. There&rsquo;s no fixed time per subject. The system automatically submits when your time expires, so watch the countdown clock carefully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All questions are multiple-choice, and you can change your answers until you submit or time runs out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Questions About <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  href=\"https:\/\/schoolcafe.ng\/blog\/glossary\/jamb\/\"  target=\"_blank\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'  tabindex='0' role='link'>JAMB<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-foxiz-elements-accordion gb-wrap gb-accordion yes-shadow yes-open\" style=\"--border-width:0 0 0 0;--desktop-padding:15px 30px 15px 30px;--tablet-padding:10px 25px 10px 25px;--mobile-padding:10px 20px 10px 20px\">\t\t<div class=\"gb-accordion-item wp-block-foxiz-elements-accordion-item\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item-header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"accordion-title gb-heading\">What is the highest <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  href=\"https:\/\/schoolcafe.ng\/blog\/glossary\/jamb\/\"  target=\"_blank\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'  tabindex='0' role='link'>JAMB<\/a> score possible?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<i class=\"rbi rbi-angle-down gb-heading\"><\/i>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item-content rb-text\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>The highest score you can achieve in <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  href=\"https:\/\/schoolcafe.ng\/blog\/glossary\/jamb\/\"  target=\"_blank\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'  tabindex='0' role='link'>JAMB<\/a> is 400.
