SO with all this what is your score, now that the result is out
Mrshape:
On Tuesday morning, April 23rd, 2024, was set for my UTME examination. My center was close to my house, so at 6:20 am, I came out from the house hoping to catch an auto rickshaw . I left with my ATM card, ID card and my JAMB examination photo card. On getting to the junction, I observed there was no auto rickshaw, so I had to run down to the road before I was able to see a vehicle. I appreciated the running because it was an opportunity for me to do some exercise, which people had been advising me to take because of my sedentary nature due to work.

When I got to the center, it was not very crowded as I thought. I proceeded to the queue, and a man asked me if I could have my phone. I said no. After the thumb printing, we went further to the hall to sit down. Although there were not enough chairs the People organizing it were kind enough to release their chairs to students to sit down. I applaud them for that.

As I was about entered the main hall for the computers, it was advocated that ID card and ATM cards was not allowed, that it was part of the rules sent to us, so I had to go down and check for one of my fellow proprietors I saw around and I gave him my items so that I could pick them up when I'm done with the exam. I really appreciated that

I began with English, I was trying to navigate to find where to shortcut to transit it to mathematics, but I was unable to find a way out (maybe I it isa available but I don't know how to navigate it,but I later found out that I can move to the next by selecting the last question of the subject and clicking on next, this was when I was stuffing through the system in my third subject) The computer screen was not as big as I expected, so scrolling up and down was challenging. In the English section, I went to choose Hakini instead of Hakini because I didn't read the novel, I only listen to the audiobook,. I checked it up later, and it was Hakimi not Hakini, I failed that question, so UTME student sould listen and read the novel to be able to identify correct spellings as it is one of the aspect to be tested as outlined out in the English syllabus

Next was physics the physics was ok , *Next Mathematics I did well in this, except for a question asking to find the area of a triangle, given the angle between the two sides 40° which formula was 0.5 * a * b * sin 40°. It was unfortunate that 40° is not part of special angles. I was racking my brain on how to solve this. I know the sine of 30° and sin 60 = 0.8660, The option to the question was have same whole number with only a difference in the second decimal place, . This was the challenge was a challenge to identify the correct option. JAMB should stick to the agreement set questions using special angles only and if they are to go variant the options should be distinct son that a student should obviously be able to choose the correct option with knowledge of special angles and trigonometry graph visualization,
There was a question in my mathematics binary operation using LCM, I applaud JAMB for that question whoever set question is very smart, after solving it I smiled.

After my mathematics I was left with about 12 minutes for chemistry maybe I fell in love with the mathematics questions trying to look at the reason why each questions was set, well it was fun.

When I saw I have just 12 minutes remaining for chemistry I know this is not the time to start calculation in the chemistry I hurried move through the questions to find the ones can easily I identify the answer I click on then why the others I just used possible elimination to choice a possible answer
In total I am expecting
Mathematics around 98±2
English around 85±10
Physics around 89±8
Chemistry around 70±10
Total around 330 to 360

For the record I applied for BCE Mathematics I might go and study the course but I would have prefarerd Mathematics and Artificial intelligence but no school in Nigeria is offering it.

I think they may have wanted to test a few skills, even though there is no standard sin 40°, and it is not easy to get it with a trigonometric identity either. Then, you should have calculated for sin 30° and sin 45°. The area should be somewhere in between but closer to sin 45°. After that, go through the answers to see which one satisfies these inequalities.

Here's the corrected grammar and prose:

I think they may have wanted to test a few skills, even though there is no sin 40°, and it is not easy to get it with a trigonometric identity either. Then, you should have calculated for sin 30° and sin 45°. The area should be somewhere in between but closer to sin 45°. After that, go through the answers to see which one satisfies these inequalities.

the difference two answers have 17 point something and two answers has around 25 point something with there difference only in the 2nd decimal place

Such a good review from you. You also tried not to be biased to yourself by accepting that you didn't manage your time well enough.
Also you ended up with self appraisal through your optimism which is very good as it improves ones confidence.

Let me also add that while pursuing your BCE Mathematics, you may try some online Diploma in Mathematics with AI to have an edge. You don't necessarily need to do it while your school is on session. It could be during hols, unexpected ASUU strikes etc.

Keep on being positive!

Sin 30 = 0.5000 and cos 30 = 0. 8660

I love mathematics and still do.
During my time in the year 2000 I scored 267 back then no post utme.
I'm still saving it for my kids to rise up to the challenge.
This trig ratios have quadrants you use to solve them easily with respect to pi. can't crack my head now.
All the best champ.

Lol. When one's young, one tends to be grandiloquent. One would try to fit everything one knows in a simple write up.

But as one grows older, one realizes that nobody actually cares

Tricycle is a broader term... The specific name is cycle ricksaw or auto ricksaw.
He's not incorrect.
