*How Jamb Calculates Score for Other UTME Subjects.*
Except for English (Use of English) in Jamb UTME which has 60 questions in number, any other UTME subject has 40 questions.
Note. Each of these questions is graded or scored 2.5 marks. Therefore 2.5 marks per question multiplied by 40 = 100marks
That is to say, the other three UTME subjects carries 300marks (40 x 2.5 + 40 x 2.5 + 40 x 2.5) = 300 marks, plus (+) English 100 marks = 400 marks
*To Calculate the Score for the other three UTME Subjects.*
Let’s say Ada answered 30 questions correctly in mathematics, physics, and chemistry respectively. To calculate Ada’s score in each of these UTME subjects is the same as = multiplying the number of correctly answered questions for each of the subjects (30) by their various marks (2.5).
Solution:
In MATHEMATICS 40 questions 2.5 marks each, Ada answered only 30 questions correctly (75 marks)
In PHYSICS 40 questions 2.5 marks each, Ada answered only 30 questions correctly (75 marks)
In CHEMISTRY 40 questions 2.5 marks each, Ada answered only 30 questions correctly (75 marks)
Ada’s total mark in these three UTME subjects is 75 + 75 + 75 = 225 marks.
Lastly, what will be Ada’s Jamb UTME Score?
Ada’s UTME Score = total of all the four UTME subject Marks
Use of English = 60 Marks
Mathematics = 75 Marks
Physics = 75 Marks
Chemistry = 75 Marks
UTME TOTAL SCORE = 60 + 75 + 75 + 75 = 285
Ada’s JAMB UTME Score is 285 over 400
