My WAEC Result, Math(A1), Physics(B3), chemistry(B2), Biology(B3) and English(C4). help me with the calculation, like to know my chance of getting nursing. Thanks....

A1 = 4.0 points; B2 = 3.6 points;
B3 = 3.2 points; C4 = 2.8 points;
C5 = 2.4 points; C6 = 2.0 points.

Your o-level score is 17.2 plus 32.375 datz 49.575 assuming u had 25 in ur putme datz 74.575. What u have to do now is datz, go and check on the last cut-off mark 2017 and the number of candidate that apply for nursing in 2018, you can only check datz after the release of jamb result. each university normally do the statistics, ignorance has made many student unaware of it. This will guide whether u should do change of couse or not.

Zubair123:
Can i get Nursing with that score? I need your response now. Thanks...

They cant give you nursing with datz score, Unilag putme is over 30, ur jamb score divided by 8 , with datz ur jamb score u didnt make up to 35%, u have like 32.375%, over 50% , the remaining 50% will come from your putme score and ur o-level result, putme is 30% while o-level is 20%, assuming u have 25 over 30 in ur putme, plus ur jamb percent, datz 57.375 now the remaining 20% is from ur o-level, u can have 15% in your o-level if u have distinction, add up 15% with 57.375% u have 72.375, u can only attain this if u work hard and have good o-level. so comparing u to your fellow counterpart who attain over 300 in jamb, good o-level result and connection, as u can see nursing is very competitive in unilag, imaging the number of student that will apply for that course in unilag with high score, and cut-off marks is determine by the number of student datz apply for datz course, The school might not want to admit more that 100 to datz department and 500 student apply with high score, this will let them increase the cut-off mark. My advice for u is datz, change ur course to like Biochemistry and biochemistry is also under college of medicine in unilag, This will grant you a better chance of securing admission, even after getting admitted u can do COC from ur department to nursing department, but if u think the school can give u biochemistry without changing to that course, forget it they cant give u because of the number of candidate that have already applied.

Pls house help my sister out before her eyeball fallout due to crying......
Her jamb score is 204. And she choose Nnamdi azikwe university to study accounting.
Is her score good for the course and school selected.

Change your course to less competitive course like sociology or education course, This will grant you a better chance of securing admission, no matter how the cut of marks, sociology and education cut-off marks cannot be more than 50 - 58, so u make sure u work hard to have like 62 in your putme, This is an automatic admission.

mizmia:
Oga Egypt was colonised by Britain.
Get your facts straight.

Egypt was invaded many times
throughout history, but it was under
the colonial rule of the British Empire,
but its history is different from most
colonization in African countries.
This colonization took on several steps.
It started in what was called the “veiled
protectorate” when Egypt was still part
of the Ottoman Empire. But when the
Ottomans joined the first world war on
the side of the Central Powers, the
British announced a formal protectorate
over Egypt and installed a new king
who named the country independent of
the Ottomans.
The British installed army in the
country at that time, especially around
Suez Canal which they controlled, and
were incredibly influential in the
government. They were intertwined
with the government, and could remove
ministers and even kings. This
continued on until the Egyptian
Revolution in 1952, which installed a
government that negotiated with the
British pulling out of the country. ght
them in suez city and they didn’t make.

Egypt was colonized by many
throughtout the history such as greeks,
romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Mamelukes,
Ottoman Turks, French and british. the
last time was by british for 72 years
which ended in 1952 and the last try
was in 1956 by israel, france, england
but it failed when egyptians fought
them in suez city and they didn’t make.

Liberia was not colonise at all, they were only freed from slave trade in 1847 (perphaps never really a colony at all).

Result slip is difference frm result notification, you can only check ur result using result notification without paying any money. The result slip is meant for admission process.

pls explain wella Sir, I should write post ume and later change to first choice?

oou putme take place around June/july, so u can do their putme without changing it to first choice, I mean without doing any Chang of institution, like I said earlier The school will not fetch your information from jamb, that is why u can apply without doing change of institution. After the putme exam ur score will determine whether u change it to first choice or not. If u had like 65 or 70 in their putme, u already know dat ur score will give u a better chance of securing admission, then u can now do change of institution from UI to OOU. but if u fail their putme, u dont have to do any change of institution.

@iamgoke and Samsonyte:
i want to believe both of you got it wrong
like samson said a percentage of something should attract a plural verb, while the second clause should also attract a plural verb (were)
note: its (huts plural) not (hut singular) assuming their huts are twenty in number (i believe you know that a place with one or two huts cannot be referred to as a village) half of the huts should be 10 huts so its still plural.
the correct option is A.

DrBESTJC:

Thanks. but sir I did this particular question in my textbook, I choose A but the answer is D with explanation from the author.

Samson calm down oooo
dont get urself confused

the first question you are arguing on
Choose the correct option.

The government which.........recruiting..........workers suddenly stopped doing so.
(A) are/its
(B) was/its
(C) is/their
(D) were/their.

in this context a plural verb cannot be used with government ooo
although government comprise of a lot of people but the name government has put all of them in a singular entity so government will be treated as a singular
therefore
option B is correct
the government which is recruiting its workers suddenly stopped doing so
another example
1. The presidency has issue a statement on the abduction of school girls in Yobe. presidency in this example does not mean the president alone but himself, his cabinet, his advisers, and every one that works in president office has been put together in singular entity. you will notice that a singular supporting verb (has) is used.

2. Bacelona Fc has lost out in the UEFA champions league. bacelona fc comprise of over 11 players, managers, fans, etc. but they have become a singular entity so a singular verb will be used.

ALso note that government can be pluralise by adding (s) eg.
The governments of the three superpowers are alike in essence
in this case it is plural and a plural verb must follow.

Now
the example you cited in your argument, u also got it wrong

One of the girls who ____ impregnated ____ died
a. was / have
b. were / have
c. was / has
d. were / has

the question is very dicey one to answer
rule: any question that has who which whose to get the subject u will look for the closest noun to the adjective who, which, or whose.

in this case, (girls) is the closest subject/noun to (who). so we go with (were) plural past and the second clause the subject is (one of) so we go with (has) singular

One of the girls who were impregnated has died correct
meaning
a couple of girls were impregnated and one of them has died

Yea the correct answer is D.
The example I cited above, my explanation is correct but I mistakenly choose option C instead of D
But Sir this question is from notional concord
'which' refers to 'the government' which we are to use as the subject. So, which of the verbs and pronouns are to used with government? Since the government is considered performing action (recruiting) we are bound to consider government in notional terms, using notional concord applicable rules. a club, a class, a church are all one, each but each contains people. The government by notion contains official s who act (recruit). So we are bound to see government as plural (government official s recruiting) so, we are to use were and their, in reference but, if the government or the named group is not said to have performed action, e.g The government is four years today, four years today (no action mention) then, the singular verb and pronoun must be used.
So the correct option is D

Education › Re: UI 2018/2019 Admission Thread by Samsonyte(m): 12:51am On Feb 24, 2018

IamGoke:
The example u cited above, the correct answer is D.

As for the Government stuff, it takes a singular count noun. e.g EFCC is working hard to reduce corruption to the bearest minimum. If you are dealing with this kind of noun, you don't put the number of people working in the organisation into consideration.

Thanks for correction, the correct answer is D for the example cited and thanks for the explanation

Education › Re: UI 2018/2019 Admission Thread by Samsonyte(m): 1:52am On Feb 23, 2018

IamGoke:
Option D is correct

Option C is correct
'Three Quarters of' is a Percentage with Plural count when a particular % or quarters is mentioned involving of, e.g 15 percent of the students, the verb to follow must be a plural one e.g speak, take, see, have, were, are etc. which attract were not was, the second clause states dat 'but only half of theirs huts was[b]

IamGoke:
Option D is correct

Education › Re: UI 2018/2019 Admission Thread by Samsonyte(m): 1:33am On Feb 23, 2018

IamGoke:
Here, the government serves as a singular entity which will attracts past tense singular verb 'was'. Since the workers are working for the government, anything possessive to it would be regarded as 'its'.
Just trying though!

Option B is correct.

Option D is the correct answer.
Anytime you see which, who whose, that in the question, noun or pronoun that comes before it and that noun or pronoun must become the subject. In the example above, which refers to 'The government' which is now our subject and it attracts were not was because the subject is not a singular noun but plural noun, because they are Block Plural groups, they do not carry s at the back. example The poor, The handicapped. so The Main Subject in the first clause 'The Government will determine the verb singular or plural, and as u already know dat The government is a plural noun, the answer will be their not its.
Another example
One of the girls who ____ impregnated ____ died
a. was / have
b. were / have
c. was / has
d. were / has

Option C
The first clause, singular or plural before who is 'girls' so girls is a plural noun which attract were past tense of was 'impregnated'.
The main subject 'One of' indicate singular noun, will determine the verb in the second clause singular or plural.

I beg to disagree.
In order to answer the first question you need to know what gubernatorial election means:
we have different kind of elections. 1. presidential, senatorial, gubernatorial, local govt election etc.

presidential election sees to the the election of a president

senatorial election is done to elect senators

gubernatorial election is done to elect State governors

the INEC (federal) oversees the all elections that has to do with federal i.e presidential senatorial and federal constituency elections.

while (state) INEC oversees the all election that is within the state. gubernatorial/governorship election and local government election.

Now to the question.
the questions lay emphasis on most important duty of state INEC.

although State Inec conducts both guber and local govt elections, but dont forget local govt election in Nigeria is a governor's prerogative
it may or may not be conducted depending on the governor's decision. But guber election must be conducted so this makes it the most important duty of the state INEC.

Abdulmujeeb52:
I'll urge you to be very very conscious when choosing an answer.
That aside, INEC is the body that conducts guber/election while state electoral commission does it for local govt and councillor .

By the virtue of the collective responsibility of the parliamentary system makes a minister flaw binds against one another ,thus vote of no confidence affects and consequently makes the whole cabinet first resigns .
However ,this is contrary to presidential system whereby individual minister is responsible to the president .
Moreover , impeachment somewhat similar to vote of no confidence affect s only the president not his ministers

N:B if perhaps you're using only one textbook for govt - you can however switch to internet in the course of your reading or join some online tutorials to buttress your unclear points.

Govt as a social science subject LOOKS simple but very tactical expecially its options.

However, its not very common
because in order to be Prime
Minister in parliamentary systems,
you must have the majority of the
lower house of your party (or
coalition) so they would vote for
Confidence. This would be used
only if the Prime Minister goes
crazy or makes really stupid stuff.
This is something like
Impeachment in US Congressional
System. And even in that case, the
party may decide to make it
internally and elect another leader,
like it just happened in Australia
when the Liberal Party sacked Tony
Abott. Remember in parliamentary
systems the PM isn't elected by the
people but by parliament majority
so they can remove him at any
time.
so it is the PM only not the whole cabinet

or who else knows a state university that accepts second choice applicants?
or should I change it to my first choice to be sure of getting admitted?
U.I's the first choice

There is no school that accept second choice now, it must be first choice.
What you can do is dat, u will do oou post UTME first without changing it to first choice because oou will not fetch ur information from jamb, so after doing the post UTME, or score will determine whether u will change it to first choice or not.

the question is trying to test our use of pronoun
first a subject is the doer of an action in a sentence while object is the receiver of the action
e.g. the man killed the snake in this example (the man) is the doer of the action i.e. the subject while the snake is the receiver of the action i.e object.

also you need to know the forms that pronouns can take. i.e subject or object

subject: I we he she
object :me us him her

now if we look at the question again u will see that the speaker and his mum are the receiver of the action i.e. (objects) therefore if you using a pronoun instead, it has to be an object pronoun.
so,
My dad slapped my mum and (ME) object pronoun correct

or the sentence can be better rephrased as
My dad slapped me and my mum

As chiomamee has rightly said the answer is D
(one of) is used with a plural noun i.e. one out of many things
eg. one of the girls, one of the houses, one of the cars.

school is a count Noun it can be pluralise by adding(s).

then it is the form of our subject that will determines the form of our verb
so now what is the subject in the expression is? (One) note: (not schools)
since one is a singular subject the verb that follows must be a singular verb. i.e. suggests
option D: schools of thought suggests is correct

One of the schools of thought suggests selective marking of errors.
