Use of English is 60 questions in all. This means JAMB will set 60 English questions for all candidates irrespective of their proposed university courses.
But this doesn’t mean that the total score for the Use of English is 60 marks in all. In fact, it’s 100 marks for this compulsory subject.
*A cloze passage is a reading comprehension exercise in which words have been omitted in a systematic fashion. Students fill in the blanks, and their responses are counted correctly if they are exact matches for the missing words. This is also called the REGISTER.
SECTION C: Oral Forms (Test of Oral)
This calculation conforms with the official JAMB syllabus explanation in their 60 questions standard.
(a) 1 comprehension passage – 5 questions
(b) I cloze passage – 10 questions
(c) 1 reading text – 10 questions
(a) Sentence interpretation – 5 questions
(b) Antonyms – 5 questions
(c) Synonyms – 5questions
(d) Sentence completion – 10 questions
Total: 60 questions
Since you have other three subjects apart from English, below is the official marking scheme for them.
JAMB sets 40 questions each for the other subjects.
If you score 25 over 40 in each of Chemistry, Physics and Biology (for example), JAMB concludes to this calculation: 25 x 2.5 = 63% (in percentage). This is 25/40 in %.
Let’s assume the same in the other two subjects. Each of the other two gives you 63%.
Finally, your UTME score will be: 75 + 63 + 63 + 63 = That’s 264 over 400
