1.0 INTRODUCTION
In the past, ability test were used in admitting pupil into the university level, for instance, the scholastic aptitude test, which measures both aptitude and achievement, (the aptitude test measures accomplished skills and indicate what a person can do at present, while the achievement test predicts what a person can accomplished with training.)
But the essential requirement for any test include reliability, validity and uniform testing procedures. The test which measures intelligence ability are often called “ intelligence test” intelligence test are usually designed to access the nature and course of mental development, intellectual and non-intellectual personality differences that might be attributed to hereditary among person at different occupational level and among their children. Intellectual and other traits of a typical group such as the mentally gifted, the mentally retarded, the neurotic and the psychotic.
The topic design and implementation of On-line JME Examination processing system (OLJMEPS) is geared towards impacting intelligence on a computer. Whereby Jamb matriculation Examination will be conducted and taken on the computer system itself and the result displayed to user (pupil) immediately after the examination or once it is compiled sequentially.
One may ask this question. Is this realistic? On the face value it might be seen impossible, but with the advent of computer games, computers have proved that they constitute ways of indirectly testing intelligence.
1.1 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM.
In the Administration of the JAMB Matriculation Examination (JME), the exam comes as objective and the answer expected to be shaded on the same question paper and marked by the examiners. The scoring and grading of results and posting of pupils to various higher institutions subsequently has been be divided by various human related factors such as favoritism, graft, bribery and corruption as well as late posting owing to volume of work fatigue and negligence of duty.
Natural human errors also occur usually thereby leaving the whole system ineffective.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The study is to enable the researchers find out the problems encountered by the jamb Matriculation Examination body in conducting and administering Jamb matriculation examination with a view to developing a computerized system that will take care of the problems listed. In the introduction page.
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this topic “ON-LINE JME EXAMINATION PROCESSING SYSTEM” is to enhance the use of Computer and processes of their result and admitting them where necessary as individual choice desire. This project enables the organizers to access the intelligence. Capabilities of pupils to be admitted into university schools.
The project aims at incorporation of the time on computer to be able to shop the pupil on the exact time. With the use of computer system the area of our concentration are achieved.
1.4 THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of this work is to outline the practical use of computer system in the area of secondary school leaves to be admitted into tertiary institution
1.5 DELIMITATION
This work is designed for solely accessing the result (test) and processing of secondary school leavers into tertiary institutions
