How is Jamb Result Mark Calculate
here is how jamb mark your script using a particular formula. so lets discuss how it is done.
Let’s dive into how Jamb mark the script of every candidate and determined a cut off mark.
Let’s take for an example, jamb gave you 40 set of unique questions, and your performance was wow and you smashed everything, getting 100% and it’s like chemistry for example.
- Just like we assumed, the Total mark obtained by the candidate for chemistry =40
- The JAMB total score for physics =40
- Total percentage obtained by the candidate =100%
What if the candidate performance is a little lower , let’s say the candidates scored 25, what do you think will happen? Practically, it means your 25 *100/40= 62. 5
now again, if the said candidate performed very poor, getting like 10 score ,it means your 10 *100/40=25
This system is actually new and its cool. it was introduced by JAMB not too long. So if you happen to get a high score then you are expected to benefit from this marking scheme. but if otherwise then it can crashed your performance at the end of the day.
Does it apply to English language?
yes, actually the marking system is for all subjects. science or art, maths or English, etc are all marked just like this.
