  • JAMB pls the banned items listed by you lacks human face as much as any exam is concerned. How do you expect a student solving Quadratic equation to solve that mentally. Calculations of physics, chemistry and other non-mental addition , subtraction or multiplication.
    In other to achieve JAMB’s purpose I suggest that you provide the students with HB pencil & planned sheets of paper to be used as rough work sheets.
    I am making this suggestion as one of the Chemist that have contributed emmensly to the development and growth of science in Nigeria. I hope JAMB aim is to encourage not to discourage the students
    Regards.
