I dunno of art but for commercial, most accounting question are outside the curriculum.
in jamb for accounting you do cost accounting(fifo/LIFO) a course accounting students do in their 200l at the university.
they are off the curriculum

same thing goes with commerce.
although commerce isint that difficult but the truth is, their question are too technical with answers options that are always identical.
answering those questions requires some level of exposure which is beyond secondary school level.
3rdly. hope u know half of iamb mathematics is further maths and commercial students averagely are not exposed to such...

I noticed all this flaws during my 100l days when I tried NDA and had to start practicing jamb again...

So why didn't you state this at the beginning?
But some of your assertions are generalistic and are not true. Yes many science students are dedicated towards problem solving but not all of them. Yes many tend to do well in MBA because that course isn't difficult but you forgot that many rarely switch to law haven't you wonder why? Haven't you wonder why many choose to write ICAN whereas many runaway from law?. The law profession made it a bit difficult for many to crossover couple with the fact that there is less financial gain whereas the accounting profession made it easier for any except ANAN

In 2018, about 1.8 million candidates sat for the UTME. Sequel to the release of the results, JAMB released the top ten highest scorers.

My observation was that all the top ten and even top 20 highest scorers were science students. It got me wondering why only science students top the chart yearly. You may think it's because art students are dull but there are also very serious and intelligent art students.

Does that mean out of the almost one million art candidates that sit yearly for UTME, it's impossible to find someone scoring at least 320? In fact, the highest score I've seen from an art student so far is 303. I've never seen or heard of someone claiming they have seen higher than that.

What could be the reason?

What you should think is why the cross over and it is for career growth.
An Engineering that works in a bank needs MBA and ICAN to move to the next level but they can relate with our discipline even law you mentioned but can we relate with theirs

Average among them can run into our course and still defeat us if we fail to tighten our grip .

The President of ICAN has B.sc in Industrial Chemistry or something .... He said he started ICAN when he was bored or something, ....... Imagine ooo

Do you think I can become the President of Nigerian Society of Engineers or Mathematics..... I can if I have what it takes but I have never see any of us having what it takes but they do have what it takes !!

It's because their difficulty level surpasses ours and time committed surpasses ours !!

Thank You sir !!

DaRuud:

70% of science students are serious as against 30 %
In Arts 30% are serious the remaining 70 % na flexers , party gals , guys ,

Fake!

Bacteriologist:
I think it starts from the grassroots. When choosing what class to fall into, more intelligent students are pressured to go to Science class. While the not so bright are told to go to Art class.

At least that's what happened in my own set. And I witnessed it in several other sets too. So I think a random science class has more Average I.Q than the random art class.

This answer is an anecdote and has not been particularly researched though.

And on a lighter note, It's why Atheists are more averagely intelligent than theists.

see this one?

asuustrike1:

Subject combination and less knowledge about the subjects chosen are main factors responsible. If you watch closely you would discover that many the science students have high scores in science related subjects than English.

Of they just like arts or commercial and want to go into finance?
Stop thinking with your anus

make i give u the reg number make u check am?

stanliwise:
Many intelligent students in the class were usually placed in the science class because people wrongly thought only brilliant student survive in science class. Also many science student were more motivated and encouraged that other students.
The first is the major reason.

In addition, those science subjects are interwoven.

You ll find maths in physics, physics in chemistry and vise versa
