I Scored 208 In JAMB By Ticking Only D (pix) by ComeComing(op): 4:12pm On Jul 09
After writing jamb, jamb release result just two days later but you can only check through sms.. unfortunately, I couldn't check mine becos i no longer had access to the sim i used in registering it.. angry

Even jamb no gree release result again.. they kept on posponding it.. sad at some point sef, my mama talk say I don chop jamb money say I no register am .. grin embarassed (I explain tire because no evidence grin)


Weeks later i vex, chat my guy for imsu tell am to register me post utme (because he told me that if I want to see my result, I should register for post utme.. that my score will show wen he's doing it) wen i no even sure say I reach IMSU cut-off mark of 160.

Anyway, I sent him my last card then (around 4k or so) and the next morning he sent me the registration slip and i saw my jamb score attached in the slip cheesy kiss


.........

I wrote my jamb on April 17th (friday).. and on the exam day, na only option D I just dey tick throughout from maths, physics, English to chemistry.. o chim grin tongue

Thank God o.. because I been wan tick C as per my favourite letter or even B.. but last jamb I ticked C nd scored 154 angry so i just lockup and selected D throughout.. no risk, no reward.. cool

I no even read shimgbain before exam.. in fact, that lekki headmaster novel, i no read one sentence sef angry grin

To make it worse, sleep come they catch me for exam hall at some point shocked until the bannie beside me come wake me cool grin

..at the end of the day, my gamble paid off.. tongue grin .. now waiting for post utme exam next august.. I'll try and get the past questions paper before exams biko.. I need to read for that one.. anyway, insha allah we're scoring 200/200 🙌 tongue grin


Before I go,

My junior sister scored 161 abi 163.. she say computer off.. just imagine (she put nursing for Uniport and Rivers State Uni)

My ex scored 209 (she put nursing for FUTO).

My guy that we did jamb registration together in IMSU scored 183.

My mama brother daughter (pls no mind my English o 🙏🙏) scored 183.. she put law for Rivers state Uni


Sorry for the long read .. and pls hope say we don't have fbi here that will try to trace me with my score and school.. hmm huh

This is hot cake course, choose lesser course if you truly want admission.

Congrats by the way. It was good you trusted your gut feeling and went with it (though not encouraging everyone to tow your line of action)

You never ready to pack comot for house to study Computer Science for IMSU. If you are ready, you will read your book and not gambling with the options. Go and manage Zoology/animal science or Botany/Plant Science jejegrin shocked

Re: I Scored 208 In JAMB By Ticking Only D (pix) by SixSeven: 9:58pm On Jul 09
When setting exam questions and to work against bots or probabilities, the examiner needs to set questions and answer choices that are spread. Large testing bodies use strict automated software to ensure an even distribution of answer choices. But I have experienced this thing before where the AI chose D in most of the options grin With the way the exam is written today, was that part of their quality control?

An exam can become less reliable if the correct answers follow a predictable pattern, such as having the same answer option appear repeatedly. A student may notice the pattern and use it as a shortcut, which means the test could measure test-taking strategy rather than only knowledge of the subject.

This issue is related to the concept of test-wiseness, which describes the ability of students to use features of a test, such as the format, wording, or structure of questions, to improve their scores. Researchers in educational measurement have studied test-wiseness and recognize that poorly designed tests can unintentionally provide clues that help some students answer correctly without fully knowing the material.

For this reason, professional test developers avoid creating unnecessary patterns in answer choices. They review the placement of correct answers and the design of distractors to reduce unintended clues and make sure the exam better measures the knowledge or skill it is intended to assess.

Good exam design avoids predictable answer patterns because they can reward test-taking strategies instead of subject knowledge.

Re: I Scored 208 In JAMB By Ticking Only D (pix) by Jayboi(m): 9:58pm On Jul 09
Yes. That trick works for me too. Anytime, I finish those I know well, I ll just tick a particular letter all thru for those I don't know and I tend to pass the papers well

Did jamb get harder or people got duller?

No be the same Jamb we dey write that year dey tear 230, 240, 250 like beans?

Lmao

Scoring below 200 was like failed

I did my jamb once and got like 245 or so and was still feeling embarrassed of my score… I had friends who got 260 , 270, and so…
I remember how I mocked my guy who got 215 back then
And then we just prepared and went to take our exams…

So school is not just a scam but also a Gamble

The incoming AI generation will show us pepper I swear
Re: I Scored 208 In JAMB By Ticking Only D (pix) by tosyne2much(m): 10:05pm On Jul 09
There was a year I wrote JAMB, I wasn't really prepared for the exam so the whole question seemed strange to me

Out of 400s questions, I had barely done 250 and it was 10 mins to go. I start shading random answers maybe I could be lucky to have more scores. The moment I heard "time up!" I bursted into tears because I know that I had failed

Even when everyone was leaving the exam center, it acurally took me up to 30 mins to get up from my sit. In my mind, another year of admission had passed me by again

After a few weeks, result came out and I scored 213.. I still couldn't believe it till date

Whatever exam you're writing, the rule is "don't ever submit an empty booklet"

Wit ur lazy reading habit in computer science, bro u no fit go graduate. Go do change of course because u go pick carry-over tire.
I personally recommend theatre or mass communication for you if at all u can read small oo

There was a year I wrote JAMB, I wasn't really sure if prepared for the exam and I have only done half of the questions until it was 10 mins to the end of the exam

Out of 400s questions, I had barely done 250 and it was 10 mins to go. I start shading random answers maybe it could be lucky to have more scores and I bursted into tears that I have failed

Everyone was leaving the exam center and it took me up to 30 mins to get up from my sit. In my mind, another year was gone again

After a few weeks, result came out and I score 213.. I still couldn't believe it till date
Did jamb get harder?
I would have been convinced it did until my cousin got 220 last year and he’s not the most brilliant in our family… I know we sabi book wella for my side but still, people struggling getting 200 is way below normal

This guy must become a lazy computer programmer. Lazy programmer is a best programmer. They have shortcuts to script writing and always end up getting solution more quickly

Re: I Scored 208 In JAMB By Ticking Only D (pix) by hatchy: 10:10pm On Jul 09
This is true of MCAs.

80% of the answers in multiple choice answers to exam questions are hidden in D.

Doubting?
Take out your past question papers and see for yourself.
Re: I Scored 208 In JAMB By Ticking Only D (pix) by CENI: 10:10pm On Jul 09
This Op is smart as far as I'm concerned. There's no need condemning him. He didn't cheat, just that he didn't study well. Haven taken JAmb before developed a strategy to get his scores. There were many who studied so hard and yet did not score up to 200.
Op just as you promised yourself, study well for your post utme. I'm sure you'll make it.
Developing strategy to confront your life's battle is a recipe for success.

I tried something like this in my ECN111 exam way back then in DELSU Abraka in 2014 ... I chose options b&c for most of the questions...(1-100) Not because I didn't read but time factor as the invigilators were in a Guess what I had 82/100 the mark boost my Gp dat year eh
