a) They would prefer handouts to copying notes.
b) They would prefer reading short notes to reading the full novel for an exam.
c) They would prefer to hire mercenaries to pass their exams.
d) They would much rather have someone do term papers and group assignments.
In trying to find the reason for the outcry on the past 2016 JAMB CBT two main
reasons are deducible.
The first reason I deduce based on the complaints is that instructions, for the most part, were not followed. As with most exams, there are instructions and we need to adhere to them throughout theexam.

The
advantage of the computer test is that with the computer what you input is what
you get.
In other words, the test will not act contrary to what you ask it to do. Going further in these tests I really advise we stick to the rules.
Secondly, and the saddest of all reasons is that we are upset that we cannot “fix” the tests. Therehave been quite a few owners of CBT centres and parents complaining bitterly. The truth is our children MUST read to pass. Why would JAMB be blamed? The syllabus is there; past questions arethere; your children’s schools or lessons are there so where is JAMB in all this.
The suspicion is that many of us did not know that: no student had the same sequence of questions.What candidate 100 had as his/her number 2 question could be candidate 090’s number 50 question.Light bulb moment… If you (hypothetically) decided to stand at candidate 001’s computer and start calling out the answers, there will be a total failure in the centre.
We right tests for foreign schools and accept whatever result comes but here it is a different ball game. It is not a question of the marker drinking or falling asleep while marking your papers. Thecomputer marks your test and gives the score of what you filled.
We CANNOT manipulate in any way!
Other mitigating factors to good performance may be:
i. In most private schools, kids do not reach home till past 4 pm.
ii.There is still homework to be done after these long hours.
iii. Kids have no time and opportunity to really engage in extracurricular activities.
iv. Most kids have no long holidays as they are spent back in school.
The JAMB CBT is a step in the right direction. We need to give our support to this great innovation that is putting us into the present age.

spot on! very apt and informative.
JAMB should not just sweep all the complaints under the carpets! They seriously need to improve, there were a lot of loopholes in the previous tests, people can't be complaining for nothing for crying out loud! Some systems went offline before the stipulated time, some don't come online at all, etc
Blah blah..thank God I don pass this jamb wahala thing in 2014
JAMB is trying to save face. They need to admit that they failed with the CBT this year. Too many queries from students.
Do You Have Problems Lasting Long in Bed?
True talk! Just like WAEC CBT recently conducted.
I hope it works
This write up is a crap! How can u generalise that students arnt adequately prepared. JAMB should just admit it's fault and not look for flimsy excuses.
Pls linda, dnt talk dah way..am one of dem nd I knw aw much I've prepared for d exam..to wat I did I was expecting more dan I was given..jamb used 2015 software to grade d 2016 exam..dis is jst trash#fuckjamb...mtcheew

This year's CBT jamb has to admit failed woefully, too many candidates can't be complaining for nothing, i partook in this year's exams and what i got is just hilarious. But the students always bears the blame. This year was a complete failure i must admit and i have totally lost faith in JAMB, they just have to admit and correct whatsoever transpired this year for the better, we cannot continue like this in Nigeria just that our voices are not heard, #Jamb2016CBTIsScam
They shld shut up and do some reviewing! The whole country can't just wake up and start complaining. Lazy ass peeps
JAMB SHOULD BE CONDUCTED AS IT WAS ABOUT 3-4YEARS AGO.THIS NEW SYSTEM IS WORSENING ISSUES.
THEY BETTER DON'T START WITH THEY CAN'T FINISH.
Okkk
Nice information.

CBT is a right step in the right direction! FULLSTOP!
Jamb this year is disheartening
Like most things in this country, we like to stand aside and pontificate without numbers or facts to back up asertions that we reason, in our self assumed olympian status wisdom, are the perfect panacea to what we assume are the problems. You probably do not even understand or are ignorant of the issues and for you that's ok, as long as you sound erudite, 'correct', even if you sound stale and arrogant.
Probably because you have decided us all to be illitrates (as people like you usually do), you are attempting to shove it down our puny throats that 'na 'kamputer (computer) den take do am, so efry thin dey correct'. This position portrays high level arrogant ignorance as far as computer programming is concerned.
The first reaction of most examinees after receiving the 'voodoo' results was to assume that they as individuals somehow messed up the exams in an unusual manner. Most such decided to keep quiet in shame, disappointment and rue their losses. But interractions with colleague later made them to compare notes and several anomalies started started emerging. Mr. Akinwole should have come down from his righteous height to iteract with some of the people affected or at least read some documented postings in the media of actual occurrences to at least evaluate objective information. The available body of information is so large that to pick some as examples will actually amount to injustice to those not picked. This I suppose is holier than passing judgements that are based on postulations.
That is why an Olise will hoodwink most of us with computer razzmataz on DSTV, land the assignment to coach our national team and mess us up. It is why we usually had ministers of power whose principal achivement is to tell us why we will not have power.
CBT is good as a concept and we realy should build on what successes we and other people have acieved so far with it. But facts on ground indicate that JAMB messed up big time this time around with it. CBT is a tool that fell into the hands of apparently incompetent users this time around. The apparent facts are that the poor quality of JAMB results this year is rather a reflection of that incompetence than the postulated specially'olodo' quality of the Jambites this year. The helms man at JAMB relied on the actions of his surbordinates who he must have trust in.
In our state elections, V.Cs were the announcers of election results. They relied on the the inputs of field officers from their election fields. These inputs may not be a true reflection of what actally happened in the field despite the improvements that we have seen in the electoral processes lately. A review of happenings during the last JAMB exams should be done.
