STRUCTURES OF IJMB EXAMINATION

STRUCTURES OF IJMB EXAMINATION

1. Candidates shall offer at least three main subjects at A’ level.
2. The overall mark in each subject shall be expressed as a percentage and may include an element in respect of Continuous Assessment (CA).
3. For every A’ Level subject registered, each candidate must have a C.A grade which carries 20% of the total scores.
4. All science subjects in IJMB Examination, except A’ Level Mathematics, have one practical paper each, which carries substantial percentage of the total scores.
5. All social science subjects have two papers only, except for Economics, which has objective questions as Paper III.
6. There are three papers to Arts subjects (Literature in English and CRS).
7. The conversion of IJMB grades are as follows:

A’ Level subjects

A – 70% and above
B – 60-69%
C – 50-59%
D – 45-49%
E – 40-44%
F – below 40%

O’ Level subjects

A – Excellent (60-100%)
C – Credit (40-59%)
P – Pass (35-39%)
F – Fail (0-34%)

Note: IJMBE results are released after 3 months of the examination.

DETERMINATION OF GRADE/POINTS

Candidates’ grades and points in the final examination are calculated thus:
A = 5, B = 4, C = 3, D = 2, E = 1, F = 0
A point is added to a candidate whose result is devoid of an F grade.
For example, a student who gets a C grade in all three subjects entered for has a point calculated thus;
CCC= 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 10pts
Maximum point = AAA in your three subject courses = 15+ 1 = 16pts. Please confirm this in the UME/DE brochure.
