Finally The JAMB Examination Is Over by Natasha2(f): 6:05pm On Jun 18, 2011 |
Hmm the great relief I feel cannot be measured finally this exam is over and now I can rest a little Waking up this morning getting ready to go to my centre and still doing some last minute reading I was confident on what I would do, leaving the house and seeing everyone wishing me well and getting a hug from my mum and her saying everything is well, I knew everything was well indeed and my mind was at peace , on my way I still did ''last minute reading'' in the taxi. finally I got to the centre and saw my good friend, after been screened we were asked to pay a thousand naira to get into the hall after protesting it was reduced to 500 box although my dad had given 3500 Naira because of all this their wahala I paid and went into the hall patiently waiting for the papers, suddenly all my confidence left me I was afraid of so many things tears started streaming down my eyes uncontrolably I was crying in my exam hall I couldn't contain all the fear so I walked to the invigilator and told him I was afraid he smiled and looked intensely in my eyes and gave me so much words of encouragement, I went back to sit and wiped my tears , I started getting my confidence back, I didn't even fell emabarrased as everyone was looking at me '' duh it wasn't my concern'' We were then asked to pay 2000 for runs and as usal they protested and the money was reduced to 1000 people hurridly paid and when it came to my turn I told the invigilator I don't have money to pay and so did my seat mate gosh she was the best sea mate ever The paers finally came and I started attempting them gosh I couldn't believe it I started up with CRS and it was extra simple it even became annoying but I was happy , the first invigilator who gave me words of encouragement came to my seat and was shocked that I had started ''why didn't you wait for me to call the answers?'' smiling at him I said '''don't worry sir I know what I'm doing'' he smiled back and was impressed greatly in all the exam was good and I am happy what I find hard to believe is that at the end of the day no runs came chai you needed to see people who had done NOTHING out of the 300 questions and it was already 10 mins to submission and i was like ''jeez are you that dull'' in my mind at the end they asked for their money to be refunded which was impossible thought some people still got answers via cells. I was happy after the exam and even happier that my friend wrote well too I wasn't scared for her cos I knew she was also very intelligent. But many were sad cause they still had a lot of unanswered question so how was yours? |

huh I saw some of the questions on English Language and was like, wtf?? Folks have scanned it online on some forums so we can help them "mark" and see which they got wrong. Who sets these questions anyway?? I mean how can a 16-18 yr old and above know the meaning of such words as astute, exacerbate etc?? Dumb examiners!! |
Re: Finally The JAMB Examination Is Over by Natasha2(f): 6:22pm On Jun 18, 2011 |
i don't get are they going to give the right answers there? if so can you please post the link so I can go there and for the astute lmao I didn't know the meaning too but I definitely knew exacerbate someone told me that the answers had already leaked on a net before the exam |

Natasha,,: @NATASHA, I don't completely believe you. How could you tell me that you were asked to pay before entering hall. Which state is that? that the invigilator inquired why you were writing when he had not started calling the answers. Atleast which of the paper type answers would he have called. And even if he had called one, would you all in the hall/class have answered the same paper type though it seems practicable. |
Re: Finally The JAMB Examination Is Over by Odunharry(m): 11:06am On Jun 19, 2011 |
@ natasha masquarade dy d exam hall?y u dy cry?lol. @ all who wrote d exams what you guys need is prayer and a li2 effort. I said li2 effort cos it is insane 4 one to pass utme with high score only to flop in post utme, you nid serious prayers,some wil pass both yet they wont secure admission as i have said , u guys need to pray and 1 truth post utme is easier than utme itself. I pray for you all by ths time next year you will all be in higher institution. |

Serendipity:I wrote in Bayelsa state and yes I had to pay #500 as a gate pass before entering into the hall last year I paid #1000 before entering into the centre and that was after so much protesting as we were asked to pay #2000 initially, well the paper I was answering like I said was CRk and CRK had no type. |

Re: Finally The JAMB Examination Is Over by Pennywise(m): 3:45pm On Jun 19, 2011 |
Sth I heard happened at one of the centers yesterday: A 12yr old whiz kid/genius was there to take the exam. When he was given his question paper, to everyone's amazement and in a barely concealed tone he shouts at his mum waiting outside "mum, mum where is the cell phone"?!! Please note that this is not a joke. |
Re: Finally The JAMB Examination Is Over by chamber2(m): 4:18pm On Jun 19, 2011 |
getting a hug from my mum and her saying everything is well, I knew everything was well indeed and my mind was at peace , on my way I still did ''last minute reading'' in the taxi. Lucky you, during my time i went to the centre with molue and got stressed out even before the exam .That was 2002.The funny part was that the result was withheld at the end of the day.I was really depressed, after preparing for whole one year.I even wrote an article(which was never published) stating that jamb be scraped after the experience.The next year i decided not to prepare and got a little above average score and ended up not gaining admission into the university of my choice. Flashing back, I can still feel what an average prospective Nigerian university student passes through in order to be admitted in various higher institutions, ranging from the stress of buying the form to submission, preparation(lessons and all that), extortion from invigilators and the risk of travelling to the exam venue. Paying 1k for seat and all that without adjusting for inflation is still good(i wonder y those criminal invigilators have not changed) .We also paid about 500-1k then just to be admitted into the exam halls, and for someone from a humble home it was a huge sum, having struggled to register for the exam. Trekking from Orile in Lagos to jamb office in Ikoyi to purchase jamb form was the most excruciating experience of my life.Now all those things are gone and i am happy now. I wish all of you who wrote the last jamb well, this is just the beginning.The university has lot more surprises in stock for you than paying 1k or so for a seat.But your determination and resilience will see your through those huddles.Do not blame anyone for your success or otherwise at the university level, see yourself as the centrepiece of the entire learning process and what you give is what you get.I have friends today who still blame the university for not ''giving'' them 2.1 and 1st class.This is rather outlandish.An average university has vast amounts of resources that will go a long way in satisfying your intellectual curiosity, try to use them as much as you can.I wish i had used all My greatest mistake during my time was to have a girl friend or maybe girl friends in my class, it really affected my concentration and performance.I always wish i had done better than what i did then.Hey, you cannot change the hand of the clock.Use your time wisely. Just sharing old time memories |

wen will be result be out? |
Re: Finally The JAMB Examination Is Over by Oscillation(m): 4:39pm On Jun 19, 2011 |
Natash what propel you to pay entrance fee, who could have imagine that. I was at my alma matta my teachers cherish seeing me because i left my legacy there as the best student. Suspecting me is beyond scope and i was accredited without hitches. The comprehension i must say is startling but other sections of english is not a test for me and id prefer 300 english questions to combine 250 questions overall |
