OP, 28 in English? That's fecking hilarious. But it could be your real score you know

I don't think so bro. English is my first language. It comes instinctively.

Lemme try mine... Erinaceous, Jentakular
Oya what's the meaning

This is my first topic on Nairaland.
As I'm writing this post now, I'm not smiling. Neither is my Chi smiling.

Last year I wrote Jamb and was admitted into one fecking school. The school is full of bullshit so I had to write another Jamb.

I didn't read or make any preparations for this Jamb, except for the Forcados High School literature, because I'm very confident in my Chi (*My Star* as Napoleon Bonaparte would call it). Moreover, my subject combinations were fecking easy. Maths, Eng, Eco, and Gov. And again, I had never failed jamb. Back to Back, i conquered it.

So yesterday was my exam. I went into the exam hall with 8.0 grade of happiness. I was going to conquer Jamb again. Though I didn't read, I set my target; Engligh: at least 70, Economics: at least 65, Government: at least 70, Maths: maybe 40 (remember, I didn't read). Altogether I was expecting to score at least 245 marks.

But by the time I would come out of the exam hall, my happiness grade had reduced to 4.0.

Firstly, the exam that was supposed to begin at 6:30 am, started by 10am.

Secondly, out of 50 questions in maths, I was able to answer just 26 questions before the center shut down their server. And I still had about 1hour 20 mins left on my time.

I complained to them that it wasn't fair, that I still had about 1 hour 20 minutes on my time. But no. It all went to deaf ears. They said the other candidates slated for 9:30am had to start theirs Asap, as it was already past 11.

To cut the story short, when I got home I had to readjust my expectations;

English: I killed it. Feck! Out of the 10 questions from Forcados High school, I was able to answer 9 correctly with 100% assurance. The other questions from english were breeze! I killed it all. So my expectation from english still remained at 70 marks (at least).

Economics: The economics was woeful. And to think of it that I'm an Economics Major, shame! Shame on me! I spent 10 minutes to answer a simple coefficient of price elasticity question! So my expectation from economics was reduced to 50 marks (at least).

Government: Even though I was a science class student in secondary school (before I decided to be an economist), I had read the whole government text book. No one in arts or commercial class could beat me at any government exam. So government too was a breeze! My expectations remained at 70 marks (at least)

Maths: Maths was very woeful! Out of 50 questions, I was able to answer just 26. And from those 26, I could only boast of getting a maximum of 17 questions correctly (MAXIMUM). So I reduced my Maths expectations to 30 marks (at least).

Altogether, I hoped to get a score of at least 220 marks.

My result came out:

Economics: I got 56. Bad for an 100 level economist student. But nevertheless, it was expected.

Government: Even though 70 marks was my least target, I had hoped to score above 80. But nonetheless, I got 72

Maths: I was amazed. I got 44! Even though I answered just 26 questions. Wow! Did jamb dash me some marks? I kept wondering.

English: I cleared my eyes again to check the mark. Still the same thing. Haha? Or am I the one that is not seeing well? So i asked my friend, who was busy playing FIFA 16, to have a look at the "Mark I'm seeing". He came over to the sofa, collected my phone and confirmed that truly my eyes had not deceived me. From anger I collected the phone from him and smashed it on the wall. If JAMB had said I scored 20 marks in their fecking Maths exam, I wouldn't have doubted. But telling me I got 28 Marks in English is a Blatant lie. And I'm really angry. The thunder that will fire JAMB and their Cohorts is still in hell tormenting Osama Bin Laden!

They have only Jammed themselves. I applied to a private university. But scoring 200 in jamb is totally unacceptable for me.
