2013 JAMB RESULTS TO BE RELEASED THIS WEEK?…OFFICIAL JAMB WEBSITE FOR CHECKING RESULTS...FOR YOUR PROBLEMS,REGISTER WITH US FOR POST UTME/JAMB SERVICES



2012 RELEVANT STATISTICS
NO OF CANDIDATES – 1,503,931
DATE OF EXAM – 24/3/2012
DATE RESULTS WERE RELEASED – 29/3/2012

QUESTIONS RELATING TO 2013 EXAMS.

A.Will JAMB release results within one week as it did in
2012 or will it wait till after the conclusion of the CBT
alternative? Let us wait to see.

B.Should students prepare their minds for the usual  annual drama covering:
-UNTIMELY RELEASE OF RESULTS BASED ON STATES OR LGAS

as a result of “ongoing investigations over alleged extortion by examination officials and special centres”. Last year, the statement from Jamb was reported  as follows “Prof Ojerinde said that of the eight states from which the 52 centres’ results were withheld, Rivers State topped the list with 24 centres, followed by Lagos with 11 centres while Imo had state 6.Others are Benue and Delta states with 3 centres each; Abia and Cross Rivers had 2 centres a piece while Nasarawa had only 1 centre results withheld.

-INCOMPLETE/INVALID RESULTS 
for “further  screening” and which might be cancelled at the end of the day.
- EXAMINATION MALPRACTICES

discovered during and after the exams.

- NO RESULTS YET”OR ”YOUR PIN OR SERIAL NUMBER IS INVALID”  situations after the results are released.

C. And what will other statistical figures for 2013 show to us this week (?) as they did in 2012?Here is what Jamb gave out last year. “Of the total of1,503,931 candidates that sat for the 2012 UTME exams,833, 082 were males with 660,522 females thus representing 55.78 percent and 44.22 percent respectively.Of the total figure of over 1.5 million, 181 prisoners took part in the March 24, 2012 exams. The JAMB boss stated that the prisoners were from Kaduna and Ikoyi prisons in Lagos.Six states top the list of highest number of candidates with Imo leading by 123, 865 candidates; Delta, 88,876; Anambra, 84,204; Osun, 73, 935; Oyo, 71, 272 and Ogun with 71, 173.Also, six states mostly northern,recorded the lowest number of candidates while all other states fell within the average.The six states are Jigawa with 11, 529 candidates; Kebbi, 7, 364; Yobe, 6, 389; Zamfara, 5, 713; Sokoto, 5,664 and FCT with 3, 380
candidates.Candidates had  preference for some universities than others.11 varsities stood out as the most preferred. They are University of Lagos with a total candidates of 83, 865; Nnamdi Azikiwe, Akwa had 82,148; UniBen, 80,048; UNN, 79, 398; Unilorin, 76,276; OAU, 64,702; ABU, 56,708; Uniport, 48,439; UniUyo, 44,397; Imo State University, 43,353 and UI, 40,011. Experience this time is consistent with the earlier trends- that Nigerians have a higher preference. For some universities ahead of other tertiary institutions.Unfortunately those universities still have constraints with 83,865 candidates recorded the highest applications of 99, 115 in 2011 UTME and from the carrying capacity figure given by National Universities Commission, NUC can admit only 9,507. These figure are
only for most preferred choice and do not include those who chose Unilag as their second choice901 candidates scored above 270 – 299; 71,339 made 250 – 269; 601, 151 scored 200 – 249; 374, 920 scored 170 – 199

while 336, 330 scored below 170.However, the board recorded a

significant reduction in the number of invalid and incomplete results of 5,161 this year compared to 2011 figure of 28,069 which was also far below 2010 figure of 96,451 invalid results .” We wait patiently for Jamb’s 2013 abracadabra

USUAL PROBLEMS OR MATTERS ARISING AFTER RESULTS ARE RELEASED

WHY DO MANY NIGERIAN STUDENTS FAIL JAMB? HERE ARE THE REASONS!

1. NON-PREPARATION




By making arrangements with exam hall crocodiles or examination magicians

By fearing JAMB after taking it on 2 or 3 occasions.

By believing that the safety net is to go abroad.



…group discussion on JAMB or just waiting for food?…

 2. INADEQUATE PREPARATION


By registering at a tutorial college without  any fixed objective

By non-organization of  their studies.

By adopting an attitude of ‘’I don’t care’ to lectures and mock exams.

By relaxing after passing one mock test.

By getting discouraged as a result of one mock test.

By not associating with ambitious students.

By not being proactive towards one‘s progress. You do this by not telling yourself to take charge of your studies. And by not setting goals  or by not making  any effort to achieve those set…

3. MENTAl GAME FAILURE IN THE EXAM HALL  LEADING TO WRONG ANSWERS


Getting late to the exam hall, or not bothering to know the exact location of the exam hall  before the date of the exam.

By looking at the faces of other students before the exam and becoming jelly –like thinking  they are likely to be better than you or that they are probably better prepared than you.

By failing to be a battle tank in the exam hall. To be a battle tank in the exam hall, pray ,concentrate ,get smart on techniques ,get even smarter by not tackling harder subjects  like maths first or physics.

4 BY SUCCUMBING TO THE USUAL PROBLEM OF UNBELIEF COMMON AMONG LAZY STUDENTS


Students are not always ready to let go of old study methods they are used to.Even where they are taught new techniques or method they still prefer to use their own ways which had failed them many times

The problem is not because they do not understand the new methods but because moving over to new methods involve yielding like a Christian on the basis of faith –something whose effect might not be immediately seen.

It is also because they still need to build up their confidence or faith  by regular practice which is also challenge on its own especially to the very lazy ones

Again not every listener in the church believes or is carried along by the pastor. Some don’t even understand what the pastor is saying. they hear about the heaven all the time but it continues to hold  only REMOTE possibilities for them. They are still hesitant about taking the step or leap of faith or making a commitment to new ways

But what students need do is to learn how not to attempt taking giant leaps but little steps of progress one after the other. These steps are recognizable by the following acts.

(a)     Planning an examination  study timetable

(b)    Writing Red Notes or revision notes.

(c)      Putting the three techniques of JAMB by EDUPEDIA into action.



group academic programs which were common in mason college are essential for jamb studies…

But what exactly do EDUPEDIA techniques or jamb write –up say?

(a). Jamb question can be divided into  EASY, HARD and POSSIBLE questions. Students are to remember,however, that what is hard for them  may not be so for  others.

(b). Jamb answers can be divided  into BEST ANSWER , PARTLY  CORRECT  ANSWER .PARTLY WRONG ANSWER and TOTALLY WRONG ANSWER. But Jamb is interested in  BEST ANSWERS ONLY! Unfortunately many students get deceived/distracted by partly correct answers(same as partly wrong answers)

To get the best answers, use

Operation sweep method for EASY QUESTIONS

            Ogbunigwe method for POSSIBLE QUESTIONS and

             Bafana Bafana method for HARD QUESTIONS

Unfortunately 2 factors work against students  in the exam hall. These are KNOWLEDGE AND TIME.

Our solutions for both problem are as follows;

For Knowledge ,use the following named techniques under HOW TO STUDY  i.e Recall and Revision Methods(Red Notes, Timetable, Q/As)…  all to be explained through write-ups in future…

For Time student need to master the 3 techniques listed under “best answers” above.

NOTE

Have you read our previous publications on JAMB and its USE OF ENGLISH paper?…Iif you have good

luck then.
