WARNING!!!

Take it  serious because its your future.

(3) What are the notable desktop icons for Computer Based Test (CBT)?

(a) The START Button: the time that every exam commences is the START period and the time that the exam ends is the STOP button. Examinees should be very watchful of this button as it the paramount of all.

(b) Time and Progress: Immediately when you click start, the clock timer begins to count, which indicates the progress of the exams. This also indicates the time that is remaining for the exams. At any point of the exams, at least you should be able to see how much time remaining for you.

(c) Question Counter: just like the time counter, there is also questions timer. This indicates how many questions you have answered and how to get it.

For instance you are writing a 50 question exams and you are on the eleventh question, the question timer will indicate something like question 11 of 50. Meaning that you still have 39 questions unanswered. Simple maths isn’t it?

(d) Test Navigation: This feature of a computer based test is as important as the test itself and they are always available on the test screen throughout the test session. Notable of the navigation are (1) NEXT which goes to the next question when clicked, clicking next moves you the next screen (2) This gives the examinee the opportunity to go back to earlier answered question, she they changed their mind towards the ostensibly correct answer. Clicking PREVIOUS moves you back one screen, (3) SUBMIT this is the most important of all the buttons, because there is nothing as bad as writing a test without submitting it. You will not have your score if you did not submit your test. Clicking submit button submits the test or exams and sometimes closes the exam window. This at times marks the STOP of the exams.

(e) The Scroll Bar: Some test may not fit on the screen. For these questions, a scroll bar will appear. To reveal the rest of the questions, either you use the mouse to click drag the scroll bar or click on the arrows on either end of the scroll bar.

HANDLING OF MOUSE IN JAMB EXAM HALL

Mouse Cbt

Left clicking is what you use to select actions like starting the exam,selection of answers and to submit your answers after exam.

Right clicking is not that essential in this aspect

Vertical scrolling, a circle like symbol that is located at the middle of the mouse is very important because you use it to scroll up to the next question or down to previous question though left clicking can do that if the scroll bar appears.

WHAT IS THIS JAMB CBT ALL ABOUT

Many candidates have been  hearing CBT, but 50% don’t know what it is.

Computer Based Test (CBT) is a modern testing procedure where each examinee answers their question directly on a computer. It’s a bit different from the traditional way of testing where individuals will have to answer their questions using a paper and a pencil or pen.

Computer Based Testing requires the examinees to have a ground knowledge  on basic computer,as well as understanding important navigation. We advice you to learn basic concept about Computer.

NOTICE : Computer Base Test is strictly one Student-One-Computer: This testing system is based on one person per computer system at a particular time.  The candidate will sit close to the computer system, maybe a laptop computer or a desktop computerhttps://chat.whatsapp.com/L66GoZKGVAH9AIbIBX4kDl
