technically, the probability of guessing an answer right over a 5 set of options will always be 20%. So I don't see the trick JAMB is trying to implore.

Evil in high places!!they have the time to figure out a software to make lives difficult for people.

In the first place, how good is government schools when it comes to teaching/education?
You don't blame the students. Make software that will make students/pupils get addicted to studying and not this crap.

Anybody who claims to have designed such a software for JAMB must have scammed the management because such a concept is unachievable in software design.

Hmmmmmm,

As you all can see, I think it is high time we show to the world in general that our brain does so much of what the westerner does too.

Dr. sir, we so much appreciate if a technical analysis of the said acquired software could be made available, is the software, a oyinbo or nigeria made?

What made the software to be able to eliminate guess work?

Pls, irrespective of the million spent on the software, we should all be guided, trying justifying your pay by making us to look fool and stupid is not what Nigeria will accept from you.

Thank you.

It is possible for a software to recognize guess work in a multiple choice question exam. What JAMB is doing is a variant of the software they use in placement tests abroad. For instance, if you present a college level maths from Nigeria to some colleges for admission in US, you will be given a placement test. You score in that test will determine if you are going to be placed in either Algebra , pre-calculus, calcus 1 or calculus 2.

What the software does is to populate questions for you base on you answers to previous questions. It gets to a point when you are no longer able to give correct answers because it becomes more difficult as you go along. At that point you begin to guess and the computer will stop and automatically place you on where you started guessing.

that one na automatic failure be that

oluwadanie1:
Dr Fabian Benjamin, the JAMB’s Public Relations Officer has disclosed that the board ahead of the 2016 UTME had invested in the training and acquisitions of softwares that will reduce the possibility of candidates guessing answers correctly.

He said "Technically, what we were using before to test students was what we called Classical Test Theory, but now we have adopted what we call Item Response Theory.
The difference is that the Item Response Theory reduces the percentage of guessing.The tendency for students to guess and guess right is minimal with this software."

With this development, Candidates who are experts in guessing answers to questions during examinations, may find it hard to cope unless they studied hard.
