JAMB 2018- How to calculate UNIBEN aggregate score

As at last year, 2017, UNIBEN conducted post UTME and also used the post JAMB and JAMB score to calculate the aggregate score .

Below is how to calculate your aggregate score ;

First and foremost,  you should know that UNIBEN post UTME comprises of 60 questions of your subject combination in JAMB . It is 100 marks altogether.

To make it more simple to understand,  i will use illustrations to explain.

JAMB score /8 = 50%
POST UTME/2 = 50%

50% + 50% = 100%

Assuming mr A got 320 in UTME and he also score 70 in post UTME,  then this is how to calculate the aggregate
320/8 =40%

70/2 = 35%

40% + 35% = 75%

So mr A aggregate score is 75% out of 100%

Hope you can now calculate your aggregate score? If you are still having problem withbit,  then you should comment below.

POST UTME 2018 - Tips to pass your Post UTME

POST UME is back, yeah it is better you believe that POST UME is back.  I have two news for you, one good news and one bad news.

 The good news is that POST UME is back, the era of screening point is gone. The screening point have made some people to register for "special center" in order to have 9 A1 in WAEC and they also paid for JAMB runs just because they want to study big courses like medicine and surgery, law, pharmacy and so on. Now that POST UME has been introduced, the admission slot will be given to those that really prepared for the exam and passed on merit.

The bad news is that the news was announced late as schools will soon start selling their respective POST UME form. I understand the fact that most students were not preparing for this exam, most of the students are busy learning skills, but now that there is POST UME then i will advise you to start dusting the book that have been abandoned immediately after the conclusion of JAMB exam and start reading like there is no tomorrow because you have a very short time.

Though some schools might still want to conduct screening but I am very certain that schools like UNIBEN, UNILAG, UI, OAU, FUNAAB,FUTA will conduct POST UME exam.

Now let's us go into the main aim of this post; how to pass POST JAMB easily. There are alot of ways to pass POST JAMB but have it in mind that the method that works for me might not work for you and vice versa. Although your method of passing POST JAMB might be different but there is one thing that will surely be similar, which is "Reading of books".

POST OUTLINES 

1. Practice past questions. 

2. Where can i get the past questions. 

3. Set a limit for yourself. 

4. Attend tutorials. 

5. Put God first. 

6. Get to the exam hall early.

PRACTICE PAST QUESTIONS

The truth is that universities are very lazy to set new questions for the exam therefore they recycle previous year's questions. Make sure you get the past questions for your school and study the past questions well.

WHERE CAN I GET THE PAST QUESTIONS

*You can get it online :Google has made everything easy for us,just type the school name with past questions, for example type UNILAG Past Questions on Google. It will surely bring out what you need either in PDF format or you will see it on the website.

 And if you don't see it online;


*Get it in the bookstore : You can get the hard-copy in the bookstore if you don't like the soft copy. Most times, some bookstores might not have the past questions, so i will advise you to go to the bookstore inside the school campus (the school you applied in JAMB).

SET A LIMIT FOR YOURSELF 

Yeah, you need to set a limit in terms of what you need to score in POST JAMB exam. For instance, the POST UME exam is over 400marks, then you should set a limit above average which is 200 and above. This will help you work towards your goal (that's if you are really sincere with your goal). You should have it in mind that you are competing with numerous candidates for limited admission slot, so you should make your limit a little bit higher.

ATTEND TUTORIALS

You might not really need this but i will advise an average student that want to get admitted this year to attend tutorials for the short period of time you have left. The benefit you will gain from attending tutorials is that it will help you check yourself to know if you are really ready and also it will revive your memory about what you have always known.

PUT GOD FIRST

Have it in mind to always put God first in whatever you do, mistakes might occur when they are marking the exam paper but put God first and always pray as you read.

GET TO THE EXAM HALL EARLY

Getting to the exam hall early will help you to relax your mind and also help you to remember all what you have read. I know you won't want a situation where the exam would have began before you reach the exam hall. I expect you to use this time to check if all the materials you need for the exam is intact.

JAMB 2018- Will there be POST UME this year

First and foremost,  i will like congratulate candidates that scored above 200 in the ongoing JAMB 2018.  You should also note that you still have to get yourself aware of the latest tips on admission.

A "JAMBITE" messaged me on facebook saying,  " Will there be POST UME this year?" . I promised the JAMBITE that i will get back to him. 

If you can remember vividly,  the minister of education cancelled POST UME in the year 2016 and introduced another system which was referred to as " Point System ". Point system was all about grading your olevel and UTME results with points,  then converting it to 100%.

Last year which is 2017, the minister of education allowed schools to conduct post utme in which alot of schools actually did post utme.


As at this year,  March 2nd, 2018,  a news  was released that the "court has declared post jamb as illegal ", which means conducting post utme is not recognize by the law.

Therefore,  there are chances that there will be POST UTME and there will be no POST UTME this year. As at now, nobody is 100% sure about it.  I will advise you to keep preparing so that you won't be caught unawares.

Once again,  congratulations.

JAMB 2018: Simple Guides As UTME starts on Friday

JAMB 2018 is set to begin on friday 9th of march 2018 as promised,  but before you get into that hall,  i want you to adhere to this simple guide if you don't want any disappointment on your day.

Below are the simple guides you will surely need;

1.  Make sure you arrive at your center an hour before the commencement of the exam.  

Arriving an hour before the exam will be of great help simply because you will have to do your thumb print which will take a whole lot of time due to the number of candidates.

2. Take the original copy of your printed slip to your examination hall and give it to the invigilators in charge.

Make sure you give the original copy of your JAMB slip to the invigilators in charge else it "might" be recorded that you were absent for the exam.

3.  As stated by JAMB,  do not take any pen/biro to the exam hall, only pencil will be allowed.

Make sure you do not bring any pen or biro to the hall but you are free to bring only your pencil to calculate anything in the hall.

4. Do not bring any electronic devices like Mobile phone, wristwatch etc. 

5. Make sure you verify your biometric by thumb printing.

If you do not verify your biometric before entering the hall,  then you will be considered absent for the exam.

I wish you all success in your exam.
