This research investigates the impact of uniform time limits on the academic performance of science and art students in computer-based tests (CBTs) at Delta State University, Abraka. The study specifically addresses whether uniform time constraints affect science and art students differently and explores the potential benefits of differential time limits for science students. Key findings indicate that a significant majority of science students (68%) felt time-constrained under uniform limits, compared to a much lower percentage of art students (42%). This suggests that uniform time limits negatively impact science students more profoundly. Furthermore, the research reveals a strong consensus among respondents (83%) supporting the implementation of extra time for science students, underscoring the perceived need for adjusted time allocations to improve their performance in CBTs. The study was submitted on February 14, 2026, and accepted on February 27, 2026, providing a clear timeline for the research process and its eventual validation.

FAQs

What was the primary research question addressed in this study?

The primary research question was to determine if there is a significant difference in the academic performance of science and art students when subjected to uniform time limits in computer-based tests (CBTs).

How did uniform time limits affect science versus art students according to the study?

The study found that 68% of science students felt time-constrained under uniform limits, while only 42% of art students reported the same issue, indicating a more negative impact on science students.

Was there a consensus on providing differential time limits for science students?

Yes, a strong consensus was observed, with 83% of respondents across disciplines supporting the idea of providing extra time for science students in CBTs.
