to think there was a time some actually believed you were marked down for each wrong answers from your correct score except you leave the questions!!

they should just let serious folks know how they are graded for a truth...

Imperfect system..... Where will the score come from So, what's the benefit

Jamb... Confusing us since 1978

infact if you are confused by this man's statement please signify:

Jamb probably purposefully puts some questions with no correct answers in the options

eg what's the capital of Spain

(a) Seville (b) Barcelona (c) Malaga (d) Alicante

the capital of Spain is Madrid so someone who didn't take the exam has gotten that right by not selecting any answer

Just a guess

very irrelevant exam in an insignificant nation.
when there's no more vision, the government will climb the mountain to jump down, and thats the end.

How does your reply correlate with the above post ? the fact that a student is given a certain score for attempting a question does not mean the student will pass if he or she fails all the questions they attempted.
ehhmah:

This confused government sha. You no go kill person with laughter.

These guys noticed that the standard of education they have refused to fund is dropping so terribly... Many students are scoring zero (as in odo) out of 400. So they thought this is very bad. To hide that zero they are now going to pad the results.

If you ask me, I will say those scoring zeros are from the North. To tilt the admission process in favor of these olodos JAMB is simply going to award 'standard' scores to them. The next thing the government will do is to make that insane standard score the cut off for admission. In other words, you need not write the UTME to gain admission. After all salvation is free.

Fortunately, the perceptive Universities have before now instituted their own post-UTME screening process to cure this federal madness.

See how these fools are watering down the standard of education by stupid flip flopping policies. Yet the can’t see beyond their noses that education is quite low in the country. Nigeria we hail thee
It's not a stupid policy. All test scores in the US for both undergraduate and graduate school are standardized. For example the GRE has sections with a total of 40 questions each, but instead of getting your score as, say 32/40 the questions are weighted based on their difficulty and the scores are scaled between 130-170, 130 being the lowest you can get and 170 being the highest. So even if you are absent or score 0, your score will be reported as 130. Everyone who sees it will understand that it means you got the lowest possible score. This is what the UTME board wants to achieve.

Useless people this jibrin guy has juggled with so many destinies. As for me I have written twice and it is enough I cannot die on top of Nigeria school. Just imagine the last jamb in a question two options would be the same and because it is a computer you won't know which one will enter and which will flip rubbish.

If i can't score zero even when absent, it implies that it is possible for me not to get the score i deserved also.
Re: UTME Candidates Won’t Score Zero, Even When Absent – JAMB by Elxandre(m): 10:05am On Oct 29, 2019
I have never understood the rationale behind standardized scores, especially when students answer different set of questions like in JAMB.

Why can't we award people what they score and make them see their effort rewarded?
Re: UTME Candidates Won’t Score Zero, Even When Absent – JAMB by OxideII(m): 10:36am On Oct 29, 2019
in some schools in USA they have started doing this since around 2005. even though you don't come to school you cannot repeat. Google it and see.

If you deliberately fail the ones you even know by yourself you must mistakenly pass some

What are the odds of attempting about 200 questions each with four options and failing all. grin

It'd be like 1:150,000,000.
Bet9ja better have that option cos its a mathematical impossibility grin
