The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB has cleared the rumours concerning reading text for 2024 UTME.
JAMB has stated that the Board is aware of the anxiety on whether the featuring of questions from the text, “Sweet Sixteen” and some other prescribed texts in Arabic, Hausa, Igbo, and Literature-in-English in the 2024 Mock-UTME is indicative of its replacement of the chosen reading text “The Life Changer” and other prescribed texts.
The Board hereby states categorically that the mix-up was not a mistake but an attempt to up our game against emerging issues.

Thank you so much for reading. We will appreciate it if you share this with your loved ones.
Rather than spologise to parents and the whole country for a major gaffe/Error it is trying to say it was deliberate. How can a public exam body set questions for a mock exam from a novel that is not recommended. In a serious clime heads would have rolled. Did jamb give the 10marks to all students who sat for English. Shame to Jamb and the agency meant to regulate the conduct of UTME
