The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released results of the mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) conducted on Saturday.

Fabian Benjamin, head, information and media of the board, disclosed to NAN in a telephone interview on Thursday.

Benjamin said 150,000 candidates registered for the mock examination nationwide.

The examination was initially scheduled to hold on April 8 but was postponed to April 29 due to some hitches.

He said the results of the mock examination had been uploaded to the board’s website.

“We have finished marking the scripts and uploaded the results to our website,” Benjamin said.

“We call on all candidates that participated in the examination to check their results on our website.

“However, these results have nothing to do or add to the main examination scheduled to begin on May 13.

“So, we will not want those who did not participate in the mock to entertain any fear, because it will not take anything away from the main examination.

“We also want to inform all our stakeholders that registration for this 2017 UTME will officially close by 12.00 midnight of May 5.

Benjamin enjoined candidates who registered for the examination to get themselves ready and improve their computer skills.

The UTME mock examination was designed to acquaint prospective candidates with the computer based testing (CBT) mode.
