JAMB'S ADDITIONAL 40 MARKS, A BONUS OR COMPENSATION?

Hello nairalanders, especially those writing the ongoing UTME, the parents and the concerned citizens. Most of us must have seen or heard about the change that happened to the scores of those who wrote their exams on the 27th and 29th, i.e the 1st and 2nd days of the ongoing utme exam. I argued it when a friend told me that 40 marks have been added to his brother's earlier released score. Besides, what about very high scores obtained in some subjects? Imagine a candidate who had 95% in Geography! Also, here on nairaland, a screen shot showed a candidate who scored 399 over 400 in JAMB! Those who wrote UME under Salim will understand better. My questions about this additional mark are:
1. What happened to the first released result?
2. Were those who wrote after d first 2 days also given this additional mark?
3. What is the fate of those who are yet to write theirs? Will they have additional marks or deductions?
4. Can we say JAMB made mistake? If yes, it means JAMB's competency should be examined by another exam body. This is so because if mistake is to be made, should it be from evaluators?
With varying marks, what level of reliability or validity can one place these scores? As an educationist, who specialized in curriculum development and evaluation, i am begining to doubt JAMB because the 40 marks added after the initial release of result were uncalled for. Some said it is bonus while to others, it is just to compensate the candidates because of what they experienced with system in the exam hall.

Jamb should remark or reschedule the exam, we don't need their 40marks, it still don't match up

Na bonus, failure level plenty. Ask most of those who have check their score , they are mostly in d range of 200-280. So if they all fail, who will now be admitted?

dannyfillz:
This is one of the reasons why ui never values high score in jamb, with minimum score of 200 u have the same chance with those with 250 above.

shey all those candidates that didnt put in effort but were favoured by jamb with high grades, more than us. They will once again prove themselves at UI's post utme. Thank God their admission processes are transparent.
