Syenite: Was supposed 2 write JAMB in '96 bt the exam did nt hold dat yr. I wrote in '97 my result was nt released. Wrote again in '98, scored 237. Applied 2 study Chemical Engineering bt was admitted 2 study Geology.I all thru wrote d Maths, Phy & Chem option. JAMB was more difficult than WAEC.
I had an exact experince with u, thank God that of 1998 gave me admission to study Chemical Engineering

2009 - 164 didnt even have a jamb syllabus or past questions,I ran outta time and had to submit.
2010 - 222..was more prepared, did it in Uni Ilorin and was admitted to Kogi State Uni - Masscomm.
2011- 212...had to rewrite Jamb again coz I couldnt go for screening, had a bad o'level.. In a nutshell, was given masscom again and that's what I'm presently into..
To God Be The Glory...

i never knew my centre at osbourne government college, ikoyi was a very special centre.. After the Registrar came with tv coverage and ranted on hw credible the exam was, it turned out that the invigilators themselves were an expo cabal..

In btw, i no follow them do those runs o.

When I wrote JAMB, I was answering physic questions but was mistakenly shading into chemistry answer-sheet. I noticed this 5 mins before time-up for Physic Paper. Only God knows how I ended up passing with high scores.

purpinkx: My 1st time i scored 204 ... Got admitted to physics ... @16 . A year later i wrote again and scored 244 ... There won't be a 3rd time cos i'm now and Engineer
bottom line ... It wasn't difficult



Wasnt difficult cos of help now. U coulda tried Jamb in late 90's or even early 2000 and see the difference

when I wrote JAMB first time in 1994, a friend of mine said he knows someone with access to computer room. I remember we drove to the man's place off Ikorodu road in Lagos and each dropped 2,000 Naira (big money back in those days). We both did not read SHISH thinking our scores would be fixed. Sat for the Jamb, feeling confident. Results came out, I think I had 160 something and my friend even had lower score! We stormed to this man's house. The gateman said he just came home 10 mins ago, when we got to the door, his wife said he was not at home. We don fall Mugu ooo! Wonder if those kind of computer room scams still going on in 9ja today??

I remember like a week before JAMB, rumors going around about Expo, this place has the answers blah blah blah. some students will even sit for Jamb hall with expo in their pocket. 2 mins after exam start, somebody go just shout after cross checking his expo answers with the jamb questions: KO GBA OOO!!!

I had my first and only JAMB experience in 2008. I was in SS3 then and just 16. My dad drove me to Ibadan where my centre was. I was writing Waec and Neco exams then so, I didn't bother reading for JAMB. On the due day, I packed close to 10 textbooks on all the subjects as he drove down. There was nothing my dad didn't say that I was unserious. I got to exam hall, settled down, wrote the paper and it turned out simple. I got 249, made all my papers in both waec and neco and I entered the university that same year. Now that am through with my degree, I feel like writing it again. smiley

Re: Once Upon A Time JAMB: Share Your Past Experiences With JAMB by Nobody: 2:47pm On Apr 27, 2013
Wrote JAMB UME only once, in 1999 while in SS3. Wasn't superbly prepared, mum dropped us off at Bwari, our center, on a day commercial vehicles were scarce. And most memorable thing i can remember that day was some shorty with a phat booty in some figure hugging dress turning heads.

Scored 200 and only just made it to UNN via some supplementary admissions to study a course in the faculty of Social Sciences. I've been very fortunate in life and like Naeto C and Asa i all the more want to "share my blessings".

My JAMB experience:
I Wrote Jamb 3tyms 06,07,08. Scored above 230 in all...PostUme kept me home till the very last 08 wen I got my Dream Course(LAW) in my final year now.
