You won't believe I was just SMS'ed 200! shocked

The physics and chemistry were walk overs for me and I get this score huh

I wasn't even this good last year, but scored 240.
Two years ago, I didn't even finish, with up to 30-40 questions unanswered, but scored 210.

If you are yet to get your results, start praying o, cos no be by "I killed it o", else I'd be cooling off with around 270 easily by now. cheesy

Jamb has been heavily compromised this year.

Thank God I chose UI.
And thank God I wasn't given a sub 200 score.

Nigerians are too gullible.

If I said it wasn't possible yesterday, I know people would have come at me screaming hater.

Jamb don't give actual scores, so how exactly do you get 399 after standardized marking huh

I'm not about the news or counter news, What I meant is that one can score up to 399...It's not rocket science.
It's technically impossible because they don't award raw scores.
You answer 40 questions correctly in jamb at times and still get 60. Lol.

That anything is possible doesn't mean you can swim from Nigeria to Ghana. cheesy

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Elxandre(m): 12:03am On Mar 03, 2016
If Arsenal fail to win the league this season, the fans should boycott their matches next season.
Seriously!
I kept screaming since August that they wouldn't win a silver spoon with Giroud as main striker, but they kept hailing him, esp when he went on a scoring run.

Wenger was only two players away from winning the league this year, but look what the clueless man has done. smiley

A benzema and a Robben on the wings, and they would be sealing the title by now.

Arsenal is a very useless club with shameless fans. grin
Education › Re: Senate Fixes JAMB Application Fee At N2,500, Extends Validity Period To 3 Years by Elxandre(m): 8:10pm On Mar 02, 2016
ibadanfinest:
As for the fee, I absolutely concur, it should be affordable but I don't think 3 years validity will work.

If a particular score does not get me admission this year, there is high tendency it might not get me admission next year.

Yes to reduction in fee

No to extension of validity.
You're not serious.

Don't many miss out solely by poor PUTME scores even after nice JAMB scores?

Education › Re: Jamb's Now Adding +40 to the Scores they sent via SmS by Elxandre(m): 12:18pm On Mar 02, 2016
stagger:
When I wrote JAMB, I scored 270. The cut off for my department was 290. I could not get in on merit. I had to enter through catchment. That was how tough the exams of those days were. Then we did not have the distractions that mobile phones, online and offline games, sports betting and all what not that students were exposed to. There was no internet. We filled forms manually, hustled our exam admission slips at JAMB office then at Aba Road in PH, had to wait for months to get the result and yet more months to get admission letters.

It was tough then and if you look at the pattern of scores in the UTME over the last 10 years, you can see clearly the pattern of decadence in the system. Our students do not read anymore and it shows.

The other day, I was in GTBank and the customer service personnel was teaching a graduate who came to sort out something with his account how to write a formal letter as the one the graduate wrote was total balderdash. I own businesses and I see many of these graduates coming to look for work. It is shocking to see that they can't even write a simple letter. Horrible use of tenses in their written English.

GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT! That is what it is.
grin
I see you conveniently skipped the bottlenecks these students suffered nowadays.

These things you call distractions have been a blessing to many diligent students who now converge to discuss educational matters strictly, through avenues like Facebook, Whatsapp etc.

People still score outrageous marks (280+), so nothing has changed.

You need to see the level of corruption involved in JAMB/Post UTME these days bros.
The slots are fewer, and most staffs already have their candidates (That graduate who couldn't write a formal letter was probably one of the beneficiaries).


JAMB also stopped marking reasonably a long time ago.

Most older folks don't agree, but keep blaming students instead of the system, and that's why impunity is a daily occurrence with JAMB and co..

I lost my admission last year despite my quite high scores, but many got admitted with really horrendous scores (into nice courses of course smiley )
FUPRE marked thrash 2 years ago, scoring many as low as 1/50. All pleas for a rectification/remarking fell on deaf ears.
I created a NL thread to seek help, but most people shouted me down and they got away with it. (that was the easiest exam I wrote in my life)

Please when these issues come up, and you don't have first hand information about that occurrence, don't contribute negatively.

If you're competing for a competitive school/course, you'll feel their pain.

There came FUTA's incredibly/corruptly high aggregate at end of the day.....

Some scored lower than me, but cushioned it with their hot Jamb scores..

I sincerely weep for my children's generation. First it was the sub-200 cut off points. Now JAMB has to add 40 marks to each person's score?

What kind of unbaked graduates are we going to produce in the next few years?
You should be asking what type of weed the JAMB Directors baked their bread with.
They know what they did, hence the Free bonus marks.

They introduced Item Response Theory methodology of exams and cut back the time to 2:45 hours. (I'm sure JAMB was 3:30 hours when you wrote yours)

Add to that the severe hitches many faced, questions that failed to load in Use of English, and the prevalent wicked supervisors, who even deny students of as much as 30 minutes of their normal durations, by logging out the computers ahead of time.

I really hate it when folks make it seem this generation of students are lazier.
No! They actually have it tougher somewhat.

As candidates continue to lament their challenges in the on going UTME, some candidates have complained that some of the questions on English Language were wrong as the answers are not available in the options given. According to the candidates, JAMB should put this into consideration when marking and grading them so it doesn't affect their scores negatively. However, when contacted, the Public Relations Officer, JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the portion in question is the comprehension part whereby they have to fill in the gaps. “You know these students are in a hurry to finish and most of them don’t take their time to go through the questions. Even some candidates in one of the centers I visited pointed out that to me and I had to explain to them that in comprehension, you have to fill in the gaps. I can assure you that JAMB didn’t make any mistake when setting the questions.” He emphasized
