Doesn't make sense to me. The calculator fa? How does that help?
The ability to start with any paper?
The login?

The mock is good for them, they should use it well. It's a pity that these ones are suffering for what they didn't cause. The jamb malpractice was true corruption.

the mouse was invented in 1964, it should be obsolete by now.

People are still dumb, that is why the mouse is still around.

i have to give it to JAMB, they are always upgrading every year. even though JAMB shouldn't even exist.
But WAEC has been around since before i was born and they still struggle to digitize common registration process.

Quite sad.

This is a downgrade bruh.
It's like they were using head pans to take their goods to the market, then someone bought them a pickup truck. Then, they said it's too sophisticated, they'd rather use a wheelbarrow.

This is absurd! Scrapping the use of mouse because of its phobia? I wonder what students are being taught in their ICT/computer science classes if after six years, they can't use a mouse conveniently. Scrapping it will have a ripple effect on us all. Our universities will not only be churning out unemployable graduates but also, computer or 'mouse' illiterates graduates.

it's not a downgrade. The people are in this thread are only doing what blacks do best, to castigate things they don't understand.
i bet you if there is to be a news about oxford using this same type of system in their exam halls, everybody that rejected this new upgrade will take back their words i can't really go into details why simply typing A B or C during a question is better than hovering a mouse and then clicking on the answer, the former seems very fast to me, so it saves time, essentially what technology is about and the latter?...well i don't need to say much about that.

The idea behind this development is because "people have phobia for mouse". Bruh, it's 2017. What have they learnt in 3yrs of Nursery​ school 6yrs of Primary school, and 6yrs of Secondary school
So when they get to the University, and they are given a research work to do, would they be pressing ABCD.... on device, or they'd use the mouse to navigate

The day Oxford, or any top Institution use something like this, PIGS WOULD FLY.

PS: I apologise for the comparison I made earlier.

The exam is not a test of computer literacy. Even SAT is still paper based.

Oga this is not about technology upgrade or saving time in clicking answers.
The reason jamb gave for abducting this method is computer illiteracy and phobia for mouse.

I believe candidates should be encouraged to learn how to use mouse before the exams rather than changing the exam method altogether.

How will these young people perform research in the university when they can't use computer.
Abi na abcd them wan they click while googling

and JAMB is the one place you're supposed to learn how to use a computer so you can get better at researching in the university and not just enrolling in some comupter school.

Beautiful.
