[email] Its no like it's two uni, your first choice is the main one, the most prefered, is if incase your first choice is no longer accepting candidates, then you'll be posted there, and you cant choose a school with a lot of candidates, as most prefered, there is a list of schools that usually have few candidates. No federal uni can be chosen. Except unimaid, cause they usually get few candidates. When you go to register, anyone registering it would explain better. [/email]

Aii.. thanks bro

Got every one management and social science student plsss

Kunlexic:
@ bolded,OAU doesnot divide jamb or post jamb score like dat(they donmake use of composite score) or lemme say that is not how oau calculate their aggregate.

aggregate=Jamb score+post Jamb score/2. i.e If you score 200 in Jamb and 200 in post utme. Ur aggr will be 200+200=400/2=200.

Sometimes it's good to learn, what's the difference BTW my analysis and yours. Is it not the same 50% for both jamb and post jamb.
I hate unintelligible criticism.

It's quite different because the cutoff for zoology would be 200 and not 50%

[email] homosapiien, I have checked the syllabus. BUT IT IS Much, should I type the whole thing? [/email]

Bros u be art student ni? If the cut off werev200 out of 400, kindly convert that to percentage.

The thing just sound somehow to me.

It is not need of converting to %age

Then you should have said since oau does not convert to % unlike UI and Unilag, then it will be better to use absolute numbers, that would have been better. Well your point is taken.

Kunlexic:

OK. If someone should say 50% isn't the same as 200/400, I give up.

no one is actually saying that....I only wanted you to see the point that kunlexic was making. Telling people to prepare to meet 50% instead of 200 is actually a misinformation.

Many Sad Faces, Many Despair Minds. You're probably Just Like someone Who's Almost Tired Of Writing Jamb An Applying the Same Citadel Of Learning without Breakthrough . Never Give Up! A Great Mind(AbukLaw) once Told me, People who Have Made Magnificent Impact in the World, Faced Great Trials and Challenges. But the Secret is to Never Lose Focus ! Or Are you an Aspirant, Trying to be Enrolled in this Awesome Empire of Education, I don't say this Often but; You're in the Right Track ! Through My Years of Research I found out that the Easiest way to Get Admitted into Abu Zaria is by Hitting an Ambiguous Jamb Score, your Post Utme Score also Matters to any Nigeria university but Not as Much as Your Jamb Score ! This Thread is Meant to Give You Strength, Make you Aware that You're not Alone in the Pursuit of Excellence. Let's Make it Worth While. www.examruns.net. Is the solution centre

Cc : edygistvilla lets start the whatsapp study group pls. We both will be writing the same courses which are : english, literature, govt and c.r.k. And i still cant access the syllabus.

In order to change the mirage of success in Jamb examination to a reality, A study group on Whatsapp have been create to promote critical thinking and creativity as new questions and explanations within discussions and debates...This is strictly for Arts and Social science aspirantsi.e english, CRK, Government, Economics, Literature and History...if you are interested,please indicate by quoting me with your phone number...

You people are saying the same thing in different ways. You are both correct.

OAU cut off is : (utme + putme)/2
