CHAPTER ONE

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 design and implementation of on line jamb examination processing system a case study jamb, lagos 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.
