Post UME Test: ‘CBT Remains The Best Option’

Computer Based Test
(CBT) has been described as the best method to re-examine students in the country.
This was the view of some students who participated in the current Post Jamb screening test recently at the State’s University of Science and Technology Port Harcourt (RSUST).
One of the students Uchegbu Amadi said, CBT remains the most sincere form of testing students before admission into tertiary institutions.
He said the system enables one to know his fate for  admission immediately after the exercise stressing that the test should be encouraged and not frustrated.
Amadi noted that it would have been difficult  for the children/wards of the poor to be admitted into higher institutions  due to the high charges attached with admission.
According to him, those calling for the scraping of the computer system of screening are still in the dark, hinting that the world is advacing towards digitalisation.
He said that the only way forward is to permanent the system  in order to encourage the  up coming generation on digital  appreciation.
Another student,  Job Tamuno, said the system is  ideal, judging by the global system of education.
He hinted that no part of the world was no longer interested in analogue system, while calling on the Federal  Government to re-trace its step on the ban on post JAMB screening test.
Tamuno, maintained that the system was a panacea to the issue of examination  fraud, as students are made to see their  scores at once.
Meanwhile others have called on the vice chanceloor of the state owned University  (RSUST), Prof. Blessing C. Didia to re-introduce the suspended ICT examination for freshers.
It would be recalled that Didia  suspended ICT exams in the institution upon discovery of some fraudulent practices in the system.
