Since I knew about JAMB, I have never had any news saying that more than half of those that sat for jamb were complaining that they were not given their right scores. When majority are complaining, then its obvious that they are saying the truth. People are just crying everywhere, because its very painful that you are very sure of what you wrote expecting nothing less that 300, and at the end of the day JAMB sent you 180 as your score. Some complained that the subject that they answered just few questions were where they got the highest marks meanwhile failing those they were sure of. Have you ever heard of JAMB dashing people 5 marks, talk more of 40, to tell you that they know that they are at fault and that the scores they gave them at the initial time was not their real score. If those exams where to be remarked, i am 100% sure that more that half of those people complaining will score higher than their formal score plus 40. And now there are not still giving everybody the 40 additional marks no matter the reason for that,is that not cheating, partiality and wickedness. Imagine that someone they originally gave 160 and letter added 40 will now have a total score of 200 whereas there is also another person out there that is normally not supposed to score 160 but was given 160 with no additional mark. And the one with 200 will sit for putme in his/her choice university while the other will not. Is it fair? There should be equity. So therefore its high time the govt should come into this situation and solve it. Last year, JAMB came up with eligibility, now it is wrong markings. All Jambites affected seriously needs to disagree with this jamb 2016 result. The govt should look into look into this matter because this is really unbearable. If this where to be some other foreign countries, by now there must have been a record of about 1000 students that have committed suicide. For the fact that Nigerians are not like that doesn't mean they should be deprived of their right. Seriously the government ought to look into this matter. Its either jamb gives the computer the right answers and remark these test or cancel the exam or call them to rewrite their exams after they must have resolved the problems.

Every jamb from 27th to 29th feb was a hit back 2 back. We encountered some hitches and glitches and were compensated with 40 marks. So oga o.p if its the extra 40 u want Come and collect it. JAMB TI TAKE OVER

I was dead sure dat i have made a killing bc i ave laboured hard for dat day.bt after seeing dat cursed text from jamb i became saddness personified and disconcerted.i was given 190 at first and later 230..last year wen i sat 4 jamb i didnt finish b4 tym i still had 254 bt dis year dat i finished to my satisfaction and was anticipatin notin less dan 300+ i was gvin 190 and a compensating marks of 40.hmmmmm if u knw hw sad i am ryt naw u will cry 4 me.jamb as a board made my effort to b wasted. I chose unilag and i nid high marks to b able to compete wit my other competitors bt no,competin wit dem is a risky risk bc they ave more edges dan i do...if rectification is nat made i pray to GOD dat he shud make jamb witness retrogression cos dat is wat dey want 4 me, may everyone of ur children be deprived of success 4 u ave daggerd my heart and d rest of d candidates heart,u made us worthless and unserious in d eyes of our parents...may u b looked wit contempt except if proper rectification is made..

mods,

you've gotta move this to Front page, Our voice has to be heard, Jamb should do something!

Jamb did an awful work dis year reducing d scores of students through computer unpreparedness and laxity in setting wrong questions. I feel unfortunate writing under this gooric board of unknown scrites! May God help all wu passed to knw their scores soon.

I feel we should all take a stand against such insurbodination. As participants of the exam, we have a right to call for our actual scores/ results.]

This years CBT test revealed the incompetence and ineffectiveness of the JAMB institution!

JAMB needs a total overhaul

Hmmm

Hmmmm

Stop right there. What do you mean you were expecting to pass? Unless you had expo before the exam?

Keep in mind that you may have answered the questions wrongly.....

P.S: Maybe we have to go back to the good old days....when people wrote WASC O and A level.

Only those who passed WASC O level at a certain level (not 5 credits!)....went to A level....and only those who passed A level at a certain cutoff went to University.

The DG of JAMB ought to be sacked!

True

Jamb really needs to remark and rectify this mess before schools start calling for Post UME.

My sibling was affected, immediately he saw the result, he said it wasn't his because there was no way he could have gotten 47 in chemistry due to the questions he saw and answered.

I am in support of any action to get Jamb to rectify this year's exam especially for those that wrote on the 27th and 29th.

True talk

Dibu should just resign.he had lost it already.
Jamb is as useless as the "ay" in "okay"

Am coming

I keep asking myself, why will JAMB give students 40 bonus marks? The JAMB we know won't even give 2 marks free if there was 80% mass failure..

JAMB has always been incompent and ineffective; but, its way too obvious now.

Hmmm

Anyways my little cousin got 252 sha. I'm happy for him. At least e go agree say i good pass am when i do my own! That little boy, always testing my knowledge.

hmm

Go and read and leave Nairaland.

Onuku!

I've been through this before, i definitely know how it feels. May God help us all...

But seriously, where in the world will you write exams and you are given two different results?
Anything goes in Nigeria.

ok

I hate that word 'JAMB'
