How to prepare for a JAM exam 2025 early in the morning (6:30 am or 7:00 am candidates)

While the unified tertiary registration exam of 2025 (UTME) approaches, many candidates who have already reprinted their examination bubbles have discovered that their examination time is set very early in the morning – some from 6.30 or 7:00.

Although it may seem worrying at first, it is not necessary to panic.
Early examination time means that you should prepare yourself differently and plan in advance more carefully.

You cannot afford to make mistakes that morning, because being late or missing your biometric verification will cost you the possibility of writing your exam.
And unfortunately, Jamb will not refer you if you miss your planned session.

This article will guide you step by step on how to prepare yourself properly for your exam early in the morning and arrive at your ready, calm and completely ready to succeed CBT center.

If you are among those who have an early exam time, this guide is for you.

1. Confirm your central location now, not the day of the examination

One of the worst errors you can make of when you take an early examination is not to know exactly where your CBT center is.
If you are waiting for the day of the exam in the morning to start finding instructions, you are already preparing for stress, panic and possibly to completely miss the exam.

Many centers have similar names in different fields. Some roads can be confusing. Some centers can be far from the main city.

To avoid any problem:

Locate your center at least one day before your examination. If possible, visit the area physically and ask around you.
Discover the best route and means of transport. Know how long it will take to reach the center of your home.
Check the possible traffic points This could delay you, especially in lively cities.

Knowing exactly where you are going in advance will remove fear and confusion on the day of the exam.

For candidates early in the morning in particular,
There is no time for tests and errors.

Plan your itinerary now – not later.

2. Prepare everything you need the day before

When your exam is very early in the morning, there will be no time to start running in search of your shift, your clothes or your transport when you wake up.

Everything you need should be ready the day before.

Here is what you need to prepare:

Your JAM examination slip: Printed serial, kept safely in a transparent file.
A simple identity card (optional): If you have them.
Transport money: Packed and ready to avoid delay in search of change.
Simple and comfortable clothing: Ironic it and throw it the day before.
Facial mask (optional): Some centers may still need it.
An early alarm: Set it and check it twice to make sure it will ring.

The night before your exam should be calm, not rushed.
Waking up early will already be stressful – do not add the last -minute damage.

Preparing everything before sleeping will give you peace of mind and a fluid early morning.

3. Sleep early and rest fairly

One of the worst things you can do before an early morning exam is to stand up for study or concern.
If you don’t sleep enough, you wake up tired, confused and weak – and this can affect your performance.

No matter how tempted you are to read another subject or revise once again,
sleep early.

Ideally, you should be in bed at least 7 to 8 hours before you plan to wake up.
This will give enough rest to your brain so that you can wake up fresh, alert and ready for the exam.

If you have trouble sleeping because of nervousness:

Prepare earlier so that your mind can relax.
Avoid using your phone or watching movies late at night.
Say a short prayer, relax your mind and trust your preparation.

On the day of your exam, you will need all your energy – mental and physical.
Do not waste it while standing all night.

A well -rested spirit works faster and thinks more clearly.

4. Wake up very early and leave the house on time

When you have a jam exam of 6:30 am or 7:00 am, wake up early is not optional – it is compulsory.

You have to wake up early enough to prepare yourself calmly, without rushing, while leaving your home on time.

For example:

If your center is about an hour, you should leave your home at least two to three hours before your examination.
If your exam is at 6:30 am, you should aim to be in the center within 5:30 a.m. or earlier.

It is better to get there too early and relax than rushing and arriving late, sweating, panicking or missing your biometric verification.

When you leave the house:

Take your shift, your identity card (if available) and transport money.
Check everything before going out.
Dress comfortably – neat and simple.

The weather is all during the amount.

If you plan well, you will arrive early, stay calm and install before the start of your session.

5. Stay calm even if the center delays your examination

Sometimes, even after his arrival very early in your CBT center, the exam may not start exactly in time.
There could be technical problems, server delays or a biometric verification taking more time than expected.

This is very common, especially for the sessions early in the morning.

If this happens, do not panic or don’t get angry.
Stay calm and patient.

Man responsible for jam will always assist you, and as long as you are already present and verified, you will not miss your exam.

What you need to do:

Sit quietly and listen carefully to the instructions of the Center managers.
Avoid joining candidates who cause problems or cries.
(Central coordinators look at and you can be disqualified for unruly behavior.)
Use the waiting time to relax your mind and pray quietly if you wish.

The important thing is to be at the center early, to make your biometric verification successfully and to remain ordered.

Remember that delays are frustrating, but panic or anger will only get tired and distracted before your exam.

Stay focused.
Stay positive.
