If you registered for the 2026 JAMB mock examination, one of the most important things you need to do right now is print your mock examination slip. Many candidates ignore this step until the last minute, and that usually leads to unnecessary stress. Printing your slip early helps you confirm your exam details and prepare properly ahead of time.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially opened the portal for candidates to print their 2026 mock examination slips. The printing process began on March 23, 2026, and all candidates who selected the mock option during registration are expected to access and print their slips as soon as possible.
In this guide, I will walk you through everything you need to know in a simple and practical way, just like a friend explaining it to you.
What is the 2026 JAMB Mock Slip?
The 2026 JAMB mock slip is an official document issued by JAMB that contains all the essential information about your mock examination.
Think of it as your examination pass. Without it, you may not know where or when your exam will hold.
Your mock slip contains the following details:
- JAMB registration number
- Examination centre address
- Examination town
- Exam date
- Reporting time and exam time
After printing, take a few minutes to carefully check every detail on the slip. Errors are rare, but confirming your information early prevents confusion on the examination day.
When Does 2026 JAMB Mock Slip Printing Start?
The printing of the 2026 JAMB mock slip officially commenced on March 23, 2026.
Candidates who indicated interest in the mock examination during UTME registration can now log in to the JAMB portal and print their slips.
It is advisable not to wait until the exam week before printing. Early printing gives you enough time to locate your centre and plan transportation if the venue is far from your residence.

Why the JAMB Mock Examination Matters
Although the JAMB mock exam is optional, it plays a very useful role in helping candidates prepare for the main UTME.
Familiarity with CBT Environment
Many candidates write a Computer-Based Test (CBT) for the first time during UTME. The mock helps you understand how the system works before the real exam.
Time Management Practice
You learn how to navigate questions, use the timer, and submit answers properly.
Reduced Examination Anxiety
Experiencing the exam setting beforehand builds confidence and reduces nervousness during the main UTME.
Candidates who participate in the mock examination often feel more relaxed during the actual exam.
Common Problems During Mock Slip Printing and Solutions

Portal Not Loading

No Mock Registration Message
