Science courses are easy.. Art and commercial courses requires logic

leave world pple to argue....this is the best comment I ve seen

iceboy4752:

Yes.

Mr doubting Thomas I scored 400 in jamb and unilag offered me admission

Oga I finished secondary school in 2003 .... (It was a no phone era for secondary students, only adults have gsm unlike now and the Alhajis n Pastors have landlines) !!!

I know what our science class students put in and what we commercial student put in as well as Arts in that era and prior eras.

Best student in Art can not compete with Science in , "Mathematics" ... we all avoid Further maths and there is a level playing ground in English in fact , An art student is still likely to be aced in English language except Literature in English (it's not a general course) !!

The effort required to aced science courses as well as the difficulty level is never compared with Art ..... and the effort level is reflective in the results of science students !!!


Art students are always happy when it's time to play Drama or press clubs .... while a science student is breaking Polynomial and Binomial, spending time in laboratory mixing chemicals that may never yield expected textbook result !!

The effort level I put in Accounting as ICAN student I swear if I should put it in Sociology (a course with zero calculation) .... Taaaaa ....

Now, Sociology is difficult for an average sociology student and Engineering is difficult for an average Engineering student

Now, let a common exam be set between Engineering student and a sociology student....

Engineering student will read based on engineering difficulty level and time .......

Sociology student will read based on sociology difficulty level and time ....

Engineering student is likely to excel based on past difficulty level already trained for while sociological student may wobble due to not having experience in such difficulty level and time commitment !!

You see why Engineering graduates are taking over banking jobs ..... They excel better in GMATs/ SHL and the likes than Social science and Art students .....and with an MBA, they are already where we are

Their difficulty levels is more than ours and time put in is not same as ours ....

The time put in to grasp calculation and technical courses is higher than time put in for reading through pages of non calculative assertions !!

You think the same time I used to read 'Management , Governance and ethics" is the same time I dedicated for "Strategic Financial Management"
An ICAN student will understand !!

If you know what you're doing, you shouldn't spend much time on courses that have to do with calculations. They're relatively easier and you don't even have to read all the time.
I don't know about anyone else, but I hate reading endless pages of texts.

iceboy4752:
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?

Probably because science courses are subject and art courses are objective and people in arts may view things or answers objectively and in science you can only be subjective i.e. either a YES or NO.

You are very correct but individual preferences matter. I am into calculation and texts....
At times texts can be so cumbersome and complex you need to read n reread to get what they are actually saying especially Tax accounting e.g Tax Laws

Now, You don't want to meet some calculation because before you interprets some assertions to point of applying formula can be cumbersome n complex too.

Nonetheless, It's easier to make mistake in calculation than texts for me ....

babyfaceafrica:
you are just he generalising and making fun of art and commercial students ....continue if it makes you happy

I am a commercial student myself so I am not making fun of any course. We all need one another, we all make up Knowledge.

If I tell you Financial Accounting is difficult than Physics , is that not a lie .... Abi you want to compare Government with Further Mathematics

OK oo, sorry babyfaceafrica

That is because it is easy to make it very well in science and it is also easy to fail woefully in science. Haven't you noticed also that even in the higher institutions (universities) that the number of students who graduate with first class are always more in sciences especially in engineering faculty, but when you also check the ones who graduated with the poorest results you will aslo find them in sciences also.

cause scientific anwers are derived through fixed scientific methods, but art questions requires a free for all brawl to get an answer with very similar looking options.

get out jare. all the wasted science student in this country what has they invented or what are we producing in the country?.
Keep believing the knowledge the teacher forced on you that science student were most brilliant and don't look above you nose. Na you sabi.

Whether science is a waste or not in 9ja isn't the issue but promising students are more abundant in sciences than humanities. This one wey you ready for fight,e no go be me and u

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.

art students are more interested in creating exciting things and excel more in adventurous courses, science students excel more in courses that need meticulous focus and repetition of process.... it doesn't determine who is more "intelligent".


most creative people have a short attention span especially when the topic/subject is drawn out and boring. This is where art students fall into.

I don't have your time. BTW I am computer scientist by profession. All I am saying is this country has wasted all lot of talent because they push best brains to science classes and after graduation. They provide job for a hundred out of the million science student. Most scientists I know today are not working as scientists. instead they are in agro alied, art, or banking stuffs as a career path. Being a science student does not end in the university. I hope you catch my drift.

How can you compare Jincheng bike with power bike, science subject need full devotion and concentration.



If you go to any clubs in the world, before you see two science student you will see 30 of art student because their course is more of entertainment.


Can art student go to planet?

The 1st group of Humans going to Mars are Artists but Scientists made is possible for them.

Japanese Artists

The reason is that in arts,the answers look similar while in science 1+1 is two, no two ways about it.
almost the belief is that Science students are the mist intelligent as science demands high level of intelligence.They are always calmer than others and this helps them during utme.

Mr doubting Thomas I scored 400 in jamb and unilag offered me admission

Congrats on your ‘admission.’

iceboy4752:

Which year was that sef?

2018

Because they are science students

NNAMDIII:
You you achieve academy?

for where.
I no reach screening and I hit jamb 243 dat year oo..
highest ever.

jumper524:

dem no dey use jamb for academy na, your jamb score will just qualify you to write their exam....that's you need 180 in jamb. Na the entrance examination them go use shortlist you, I'm talking from experience

true she. but I know I did well in the exam though.
sha I rep FCT and they always shortlist very few candidates from here.
let's just say others did better then.

Are you still applying?

NNAMDIII:
are you still applying

nah bro, I'm already in my 400l. maybe short service though..

jumper524:

alright bro, just try and make enquiries when applying, there's a thread for short service......go through the pages so you'll know everything about it and try and get their past questions



Good luck!!

It is not a matter of the arts being blockheads, it is matter of precision in understanding and subject presentation. Science students are expected to be more precise in knowledge and the understanding of taught courses. It may appear tough initially, but a breakthrough in understanding gives a solid foundation. If you care to check the first class graduation lists, the Engineering students are more than the arts students. This is a carry over of the same trend. once you break through in the sciences you can hardly fail. The science studies are more exact than arts where imprecision reign supreme and understanding are in depths and levels. It is tough to have a first class in English studies.

Just you and a few posters were able to give the correct answer.
For you to understand some poems, you have to enter the poet's mind. Art students have their own strengths and specialisation, nothing like science students are smarter. We have to stop thinking like this
It's very easy to score 100/100 in mathematics compared to literature. Infact if you see a 2.1" English student, give them thumbs up.

sciences courses are tough,so it requires proper preparation to pass science exams...
A dept like dramatic art should b producing plenty first class but reverse is d case despite d softness of d course...art student are not dat serious and discipline....
