In 2023, he did not register for the JAMB exam because he was waiting for admission into the university, hopeful that his previous score would be enough.

However, in 2024, when he could not secure admission with his 2022 JAMB score of 304, he wrote another exam but was denied admission again.

In a post he made available on his page @_joshuals on 8 February 2026, he gave an update and shared tips on how he passed the JAMB exam he sat for in 2025 with a score of 338.

He took to his page to announce that he had already moved past the stage of seeking admission, as he is now admitted into a university and is currently in 200L, while sharing tips on how he was able to achieve such a high score.

He wrote

"X pushed this tweet to a different audience. This happened in 2024, why's everyone reacting like it's recent... 😅 Btw, I've got past this stage."

While he had previously used past questions dating back 10 years to achieve 284 and 304 in previous exams, he mentioned that he used a specific strategy to score over 300 in the JAMB exam. He noted that anyone scoring less than this probably did not adopt his style.

Speaking about the strategy, he explained that he downloaded the JAMB syllabus and divided it into sections topic by topic, then ran it through AI.

He stated:

"I downloaded the JAMB syllabus, then cropped it into sections (topic by topic)... Reason for the cropping is so that the AI won't run out of what to say and give very short information that won't help."

After breaking down the JAMB syllabus into topics, he explained that he used a prompt with a particular AI which helped him finish the syllabus in a very short time.

He continued

"This strategy helped me finish the syllabus in a short period of time, notwithstanding I was reading for JUPEB as well. Still pulled 338."

After completing the JAMB syllabus, he added that he reread some of the things he jotted down, coupled with knowledge acquired from past questions.

The individual also shared a screenshot showing the score he got in his last JAMB exam and his details as a student studying medicine and surgery at the college of medicine.
