These are nine important computer keyboard shortcuts all JAMB Candidates Must know, to help them write their exam efficiently and pass marvelously.
One of the challenges most JAMB Candidates face is that they don’t really know how to operate computers, and the major part of this is knowing how to operate the mouse.

CBT Without Mouse means that you can write your JAMB without touching your mouse.
