According to the Cambridge dictionary explanation, the mock examination is an examination that is taken in school before the real one. This exam helps to test the ability of students who are preparing to write the real one.
The JAMB mock is just the same as other mock examinations. According to the announcement made by the head of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Examination, Prof. Ishaq Olarewaju Oloyede, he said that the purpose of the mock is to help the immediate students to see if they are capable to pass the JAMB examination.
