avalontony: JAMB JAMB JAMB!!!!!!.....those of u that think that you were no awarded ur correct scores, pls pick the question papers and go over them again. In Jamb questions u have related answers, that if u make a mistake in ur solving u will arrive at an answer which will make u think u got d right answer. Computer hardly make mistakes, dont think black answer sheet has never been graded by computer......they have test runned all this before, its not d first time jamb is conducting exam. I know how it feels to get a low score in jamb............. U can always try again.....this is not the end!!!!

see this guy oo... computers dont make mistakes? so thats ehy they should mark over 1.6 million scrits in less than a week and with levity... its no news that on the 27th of april after d exam was conducted the education minister cried out about the limited number of space available in the nations institution, your point is not needed here cos you have absolutely no point atall everybody canot be lying at once... everyone cannot be dull at once....

let me point out sometging to you guys. Before the results came out there was this rumour all over the internet that jamb has deviced a means to finnaly cob examination malpractice, and examples whr given some said jamb stored the types each candidates whr given and will mark them according to that so any candidate that shades another type will get an unexpected score. Fine! but still some whr jubilating and some whr vibrating... they also pointed out that those that copied, your type a is totally diferent frm your partners own, etc now surposedly this is actually true, then this result shouldnt be out by now, and if its not then jamb made a serious and very unremarkable mistake in the question papers that will most likely cost most jambites another year, waiting to purchase another jamb form next year again. The reason am saying its a mistake is I see no reason why jamb will set the same question for each type but different options.... I say this is an error in the question papers that jamb did not verify before the exam day which means that while most jambites thought tgey whr answering a particular type of question, in the real sense , because of the error on jamb database, they could hav bn answering another type entirely... dosnt the educational sector have a complaint board? who do we run to at times like this? answers and observations please.

Guy, ur reasoning is warped. Is it all questions that are calculations? I mean there are straight foeward questions and i know too many intelligent people that would smash jamb even if they didnt read yet they made nonsense scores. Jamb is too cheap now, something must be wrong like the op said.

Serendipity: Someone cried out at a Cyber Cafe ''Allow me to die' after all efforts and prayers I put in , Oh! I'm tired''.
These were the lamentations of one braw girl at College Road, Enugu, upon learning that she made 110 in this JAMB exams. She wanted to study Medicine at UNIZIK.

=================
I didn't do JAMB although as a stake holder I have been following the happenings. And I aver authoritatively without pussyfooting that these results are NOT reflections of either the candidates' performance or abilities.
This is dispiriting in view of the fact JAMB exams are now
relatively cheap. In fact it's now a cake walk. (You will attest to this if you see the question papers of recent years).
Whence then came the execrable and demeaning scores? This is further exacerbated by the fact that these vanilla scores are made by brilliant students. A particular lass made A's in WAEC last year only for JAMB to give her 177 this year.
===============
Something must have gone wrong. The possibility of a mismatch in the course of marking cannot be discounted as it is gigantic.

This colossal failure is either an orchestrated plan by JAMB to have them come back next year in which case they will reap undue pecuniary benefits OR is a malicious move to reduce the number of eligible candidates given the deprecation by people of the limited admission spaces especially of the universities.
==================
Granted, many students may have shaded wrongly or used 'sent answers'' but it is suspect to have more than 1.5 million candidates sit exam and only 10 could score 300 and above. This is truer when contrasted with some other years like 2011 where more 3'000 scored 300 and above.
JAMB should be probed.
==================
It's doleful that nothing works in this country and that's why we pray for everything.
=================
The ambitions and lofty dreams of these innocent students are just being truncated and impeded for no just cause.

cnt stop crying....

Saecula: @OP I give this piece thumbs up.
after the money and everthing.
Nawao.
My lil sis cried her eyes out yesterday. Despite the fact that she had prepared very well
Maybe JAMB should be scrapped.

Umartins1: Too bad that this thread is not about a celebrity picture or about Sexkills madness as a moderator, it would have made the front page.

Nairaland is unarguably the largest online forum in Nigeria and I've read discussion on this forum in some newspapers before. If anyone has the opportunity of getting THE PUNCH newspaper, there's an article about Nigerians reaction to Gov. Aregbe's phone theft where an excerpt contains that of Nairaland's. So many like that. If only this thread can hit the front page, who knows, maybe a National daily may fight for our rights? We're robbedd! I can never score 45 in what that seems to be simplest Utme Mathematics ever. I can never score 174 in a mere JAMB's exam. This is foul play! I'm ready to lead this protest if only I can garner support.

I bet that something is wrong.

I wrote Jamb 2yrs ago and I must confess that the questions were alot tougher than what yu get these days. The results then were not as bad as what we saw today.
If you compare the statistics of 2011 and 2012 or even this year, you would notice that there is a sharp growth in the number of failures. Every event that occurs naturally in life does so through a progression or stages and so, when there is a sharp decline it indicates that there is a factor causing the sharp decline. Now relating this instance to Jamb, one would notice a SHARP decline in performance between 2011 and 2013. The disparity in d statistics is quite much for just a gap of two years which would leave the average youth questioning Jamb's credibility.

I also blame the students for the poor performance, how can you tell me you didnt shade your paper type when it was explained in the instruction. Its not even a new trick, so didnt you revise with previous question papers?? I felt like slapping the girl that gave me that as her excuse for failing. That singular act alone shows the student was never ready for the exam. And also, students dont read again and are always depending on 'expos' which anyone can seat at his parlour and formulate doesnt bring good fortune, one should know. Students hardly engage in intensive study for this exam due to the availability of the 'a,b,c' expos. I dont obviously see why a student should fail an exam he/she took upto 6months to prepare. Bottomline is that the Nigerian student needs to benddown and read more because we are the future of tomorrow and with the eroded ways people think these days, we are in a big mess. Jamb has lost its credibility, yes and even its relevance but what other solution can be proferred? Scrapping jamb and making use of only P-UTME? That may be like adding another TCP to an already open wound

There must be something behind this JAMB mass failure,i didnt believe dat i could get what i got,i was expecting a high score although i didnt fail.

Bonzer and bitching...
As per shading the paper type. I know a very pious and brainy lass that obeyed all instructions yet made 177.

being brainy doesnt guaranty success in Jamb, that is an obvious truth every student would attest to. So cool down a bit and look deep into the student's 177 score, he/she may have made mistakes during the exam. It depends on how the student prepared for the exam although Jamb's scoring system can also be questioned here.

i dnt know y so many people are bn sentimental about all this ..... jamb credibility has bn always bn questioned just like neco has y not waec? west africa my broda its not governed by nigerians as such so my broda you just need to be clear on ur point so u know whr to hit u frm.... you are sayung that jamb has always bn justified for all errors that fliat here and there wenever the result is released? Or you are saying jambs Credibility shouldnt be questioned? wait till we get a similar exam to that.... same group of students write waec and neco every year, students who do well in waec dnt in neco... how do you explain this? funny am sure.. before you call students dullards, make sure ur not making a fool out of urself.

jaryeh: Hmmm,"jamb,a very hard exam,where examiners set technical and tricky questions which appear simple at the surface but tough in reality" someone said so and I think it makes sense. Those that did mathematics,were you able to know that there are two questions there without answers? If you are surprised,check the histogram and pie chart questions and tell me if they have the correct answers. Anyone who has chosen any option in any of the two questions should expect a big mess in his/her result. Jamb set traps for candidates to reduce their marks. So also in chemistry ,the number 6 or so was without the correct option,the question was about rate of diffusion.

So,passing jamb i think is not by how brilliant you are , its about how smart,intelligent,calm and calculative you are.

I also did nt get what i expected, scored 15/100 in chemistry where I answered 41 questions and my tutor marked it to be 38/50. Very surprised i was when I saw this, but i guess they must have set one trap or the other for me,of which i did nt take note.

So also, their marking method is best known to them. But i know that scoring high is not by how much you shaded but how many are actually correct out of those you shaded.

If you will take this exam again, take note of all these things,and more importantly,THE SUBJECT YOU THINK YOU KNOW BEST SHOULD BE THE ONE IN WHICH YOU WILL ANSWER THE LEAST NUMBER OF QUESTIONS. I say this because most candidates fool themselves by answering all the questions in a subject which they would think they blasted and at the end come to see that that is the one in which they have the least score. Thats jamb for you. If you can answer at least 30 questions correctly, you may stop there and use the remaining time to perfect the 30. You will just be surprised when you see your result. All these things will not only score you a good mark but also vividly show that you were not involved in any examination malpractice as those who practise such will always shade everything given to them.

Shalom!

pls rate of diffusion had its answer go to ur tutor wit a hammer and nack his head.

I'm not gonna crucify you bro but reason with me on this:
1. Scrapping UTME will not make getting admission tougher BECAUSE, JAMB will still remain as a regulatory body to regulate admission proccesses in the tetiary institutions.
2.You said "Nigeria that is corrupt". If we keep using corruption as an excuse for not effecting THE CHANGE WE NEED in Nigeria, we'll remain stagnant even backwards as a nation! The truth is: effect the change and tackle corruption simultenously!
I think you should graduate to that school of tought that believes in this country!
