A wonderful evening to yall... I'm a jambite per say and an Aspirant of Uniben!
Haven't sat for my exam yet.. But going through different pages on myschool.com.ng related to this year's jamb has been truly frightening.
.. I mean.. So many people posting scores they feel they did better than.. All within the range of 150 - 190..just few has crossed the 200mark...

I've been doing a lot of thinking.. Although there have been some unfavourable changes in this year's exam.. From the given time reduced drastically from 3hrs 30mins to 2hrs 45mins.. To absence of physical calculators and malfunction of computer system but I don't think it's enough reason for the kind of scores I'm seeing..

And I've come to the conclusion that it has to be this new software jamb introduced this year... The Item Response Theory..

I decided to do some research on this software... And I've seen some really crazy things online... I just can't take it all in...

How does this software work? What should we keep in mind when picking an option? .. What's the basis for scoring students?..
Pls if there's anyone who can help break the concept of this IRT..

You'lld be doing I and other jambites yet to write.. A very big favour... My exam is coming up soon and I'm starting to get scared!..

Lalasticlala I could really use your help... Thanks,!

My dear don't be intimated. The IRT is just a theory to confuse our government who is hellbent to probe everything especially where a huge some of money is mentioned.

Imagine if you multiply N6,000 by 1,500,000. This money is enough to turn Buhari's face against the 'Ojerinde's'.

And this is why you must be tested on comprehension.

I meant the guy shouldn't be intimidated. JAMB is using that to retire the money it has garnered from sales of forms.
