My dear, it does not take many days, it could have just been set that way (to be released after a certain number of hours). It is always good to state things with facts, once you do not have facts simply call it "your opinion", you may be right, or I may be right. Do not feel you know for certain. As far as I am concerned CBT should be encouraged, can it be improved? Yes certainly! But we should state the real issues and seek for ways to improve them rather than raising objections based on sentiments. If you wrote an exam in school and failed you would as well say the lecturer failed you not so...? DrayZee: |

How do you take an exam and be sure of your score? How many times has that worked out accurately? How can you say so assuredly that the marking is wrong? Did you look at the code behind? Did you see that the answers put in are wrong? It is a computer, Garbage in Garbage out, how can it mark it wrong?... Na wa O DrayZee: |

Education / JAMB CBT: A Look At Then And Now by obieokpala: 3:18pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
The Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) went a step higher in 2013 with the Computer Based Test (CBT). For most of us, this was a necessary and timely innovation on their part. Most Nigerians are either giving a bow or a round of applause to the JAMB team. THEN In the 90’s, when students sat for JAMB, it was a whole different ball game from now. The examination was kept on a pedestal of FEAR for most students. As opposed to recent times, most people wrote JAMB a minimum of twice, before they could ever think of gaining admissions. As a result, exam malpractice became a common denominator in the JAMB examinations. It seemed that no matter the angle approached to tackle this scourge, it just would not go away. Parents were a major part of the growth and immortality of exam malpractice at this time. For a good number of students also, there was a feeling that their papers were not being handled fairly. There was a belief that the results were “given” by those who marked instead of really being what they “got” in the examination. There was also the issue of not finding your result when the results were released, or, exam centre results being ceased. This caused problems for even the innocent ones in those centres. The step that JAMB took in 2013 has really changed everything. When we heard about this new decision, there was a mix of both anticipation and skepticism (good and bad): Can this really work? Finally, JAMB will be free and fair! Hmm, will Nigerians not find a way around it? Will my children be able to pass their exam now? Can we still cheat? NOW There is a renewed confidence in the students writing the exams. The confidence stems from the belief that, machines are better than people. The knowledge that at least two days later you have your result is also a great motivation and sense of relief to students now. It now encourages young people to read as opposed to waiting to “sort” (give bribes or pay mercenaries). On account of the CBT, the students need a general knowledge of basic computer skills, which in turn, adds value to each student in the long run. New things are not always easy to accept, but all parents and guardians should embrace and wholeheartedly support this move, knowing that your children and wards would be better off in the long run. On a lighter note: I wish I was writing JAMB now. Question In the early 2000’s universities started conducting their own tests after students passed JAMB and “gained admission” into their institutions. For most of us, the reasons seemed obvious with the plague of malpractice at the time. Now that there is the CBT is there still a need for that post UTME? Can’t the universities work with JAMB to settle the needs they believe JAMB is not meeting (if any)? 1 Share

Education / 5 Things Every Student Should Know Before Graduation by obieokpala: 3:20pm On Dec 15, 2015 |
It’s tempting to think that because you are officially out of formal education, you stop learning, but resist the temptation. Learning is a life-long activity, and an indispensable part of every individual’s growth. Even in the workplace, you’ll be required to constantly brush up on your old skills, and pick up new ones along the way. So don’t throw away your pens just yet! //Gist from: http://ourcampusconnect.com/2015/11/25/every-student-should-know-this/ Now Students can interact and share, ourcampusconnect.com is an educative social media platform.
