The JAMB CBT App from MySchoolGist is a phone and tablet practice tool for UTME candidates. It helps a learner use short free moments for study, not just for a quick scroll.

A study spot can be a bed, a danfo seat, or a bench at a small shop. Why MySchoolGist made a mobile JAMB CBT App Many candidates do not have easy access to a computer. A phone is easier to carry and to use each day.
