This info is for prospective 2016 Jamb Candidates who are about to write this 2016 jamb which comes up in next few weeks time that the Marking Scheme for the ongoing 2016 UTME Is stated below.

To help those who don’t know what marking scheme

means, it may be defined as an educational

jambadmission.com.ng have made contacts with the

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to

figure out JAMB marking scheme for 2016

Computer Based Test whose results are currently

being released on a daily basis. While we are not

categorically sure of any hidden secrets behind

the marking system, we believe that the

information contained below will show candidates

how their papers are marked.

First, recall that JAMB gives an aggregate of two

hundred and fifty questions to each candidate.

Out of these 250 answerable questions are 100

from Use of English Language and average of 50

each from three (3) other subjects chosen by the

student.

The total (highest) score a candidate can obtain

in JAMB is 400 – of which no one has been able

to get this mark as history would have it. So

whatever score a candidate have is graded over

400. 

Since all questions carry equal marks the

mathematics involved in calculation of each

candidates’ score can be as thus. Let’s say you

obtain 180 correct answers out of 250 questions

given. This would give you (180/250 * 400%) =

(0.72 * 400%) = 288. This calculation is

generalized for aggregate/total score but similar

step is followed to know scores subject-by-

subjects.
