over the years,i still don't get how jamb mark their papers.is there still negative marking? is it true that each questions carry different marks? for example, i heard that in chemistry,calculations carry higher marks?if u know anything about jamb's marking scheme,pls your assistance is needed urgently.thanks

I'm curious, and I'm almost 100% sure that there is a means of deducting marks.

Got 252, it pissed me off cos I expected something higher, probably a JAMB award.
The only explanation for my loss of marks could be from deductions from what I got right. So, there must be a way marks are deducted.

@ all dat passed. Instead u shld be happy abt ur score, u're making mouth anyhow. So y dont u score 400? U knw there's no reason for failure

With my own experiencee,i don't think jamb deducts any mark from students.
It is what you score that is recorded for you.

For instance, in the last jamb,i scored 450 i mean four five $ zero.

If you were asked how to explain this statement, what would you say? That you are stupid or what?

Hey Naijamark! I just dey feel all the recent responses you gave, especially that one on UI marking scheme.
Back to this topic, I think there must be some negative marking going down with JAMB. Being among the high scoring is always my aim of doing the exam and at the end of day I get 60+ mark behind the highest scoring candidate. Man! That's not funny at all.

Not funny dude and I mean that. I aim JAMB award too and I think 10% JAMb candidate does. Its so embarrasing when you are several tens of marks away from the top mark.
