How to use computer to write JAMB

Once again.

You only need the basic knowledge of the mouse and keyboard for JAMB exam.

These two computer parts and how to use them in your JAMB is what will be discussed in detail below.

What is a Keyboard?

The keyboard is that part of the computer that contains letter A—Z, number 0—9 and other symbols.

It is the same for both Desktop and Laptop and you do not even need to know much about it either.

Just know the JAMB CBT function of each of the the 9 keys highlighted in the keyboard image above.

How to use keyboard in JAMB

This is almost the simplest method on how to use computer to write JAMB because it involves using just 9 keys (A, B, C, D, N, P, S, R, Y) on the keyboard.

Let’s see how.

Here’s an example of how your JAMB questions will probably look like on the computer screen.

Now how can you use the 9 keys to answer JAMB questions?

1. Press “A” if you want to choose option A as your answer.
2. Press “B” if you want to choose option B as your answer.
3. Press “C” if you want to choose option C as your answer.
4. Press “D” if you want to choose option D as your answer.

After choosing the option that you think is the correct answer for that question,

5. Press “N” to go to the Next question.
6. Press “P” to go back to the Previous question.

When you have answered all the questions in your four subjects,

7. Press “S” to Submit your exam.

The computer will pop up a question on the screen asking if you really want to submit.

8. Press “Y” to say YES and confirm your submission.
9. Press “R” to Return to the questions without submitting.

Take note.

Once you press Y after pressing S, your submission will be confirmed and there is NO GOING BACK.

Make sure that you have finished all the questions in your four subjects before submitting.

What about the mouse?

The mouse is used to move the cursor and select items on the computer screen.

The cursor is a small arrow on your computer screen that moves with the mouse and points at items on the computer screen.

On a Desktop computer — the mouse is that device that looks like a “rat”.

• Place the palm of your right/left hand on the mouse.
• Move the mouse around to move the cursor on the screen.
• Left-click the mouse to select the item that the cursor is pointing at.

On a Laptop computer — the mouse is flat and located just below the keyboard.

• Place a finger of your left/right hand on the Touchpad.
• Move your finger around on the Touchpad to move the cursor on screen.
• Tap the Touchpad or Click the left button to select the item that the cursor is pointing at.

How to use mouse in JAMB

This method on how to write JAMB using a computer mouse is not as simple as that of the keyboard but still effective.

Here again is the example of how your JAMB questions will probably look like on the computer screen.

1. Move the cursor to the option you want to choose.
2. Point the cursor directly on the small circle behind that option.
3. Left-click on your mouse to select that option.
4. Move the cursor to point to “NEXT” button.
5. Left-click on the mouse to go to the Next question.
6. Repeat step 1–5 for the next and other questions.

After answering all the questions in your four subjects,

7. Move the cursor to point to “SUBMIT EXAM” button.
8. Left-click the mouse.

The computer will pop up a question on the screen asking if you really want to submit.

9. Left-click on “YES” to confirm your submission.
10. Left-click on “NO” or “RETURN” to go back to the questions.

Once you click on YES after clicking on SUBMIT EXAM, your submission will be confirmed and there is NO GOING BACK.

So again,

We advise you to use the computer keyboard for your JAMB because it is the simplest.

But if you are good with computers, the mouse can also serve you better.
