Jamb Adds 40marks To Candidates Who Sat For The Exam Yesterday (pictures) by Abimloaded(op): 9:09pm On Mar 01, 2016
This sounds funny to me...

I sat for the UTME yesterday and on my way back home (just about an hour later) I received my Utme score via text message as 172

I couldn't believe it because I know what I did should earn me nothing less than 270 in score. I told my friends what I observed in the questions which were offered especially the English from number 11-20 the options didn't correlate with the questions at all!
I called the attention of the supervisor but he told me "pick what you know" (this issue was observed all over the centres ). I told my friends about this and they told me the same thing was observed in theirs. They waited for their result and when they received, none scored above 170. We knew that wasn't our score because we know what we did and kept hoping for a Re-mark of the exam because we suspected an error in the marking.
Fast forward to this evening, I decided to recheck lo and behold my score has increased from 172 to 212! 40marks has been added to the initial score and same thing applied to my friends'.
Though I expected much but it's a shame on JAMB for this lack of technical-know-how and mistakes.
Urging those who sat for the exam Yesterday to recheck their scores on the Jamb website!

Below are the screenshots of my result.
