What do high-scoring UTME candidates do differently?
When asked what he thinks high-scoring UTME candidates do differently, Azoyenime Samuel Chukwuemeka, who scored 372 in the 2025 UTME, told Legit.ng that he does not think top performers necessarily do anything different from others.
He believes they are just more disciplined, avoid distractions, manage their time well and are highly focused to accomplish their goals.
"I don't think high-scoring UTME candidates do anything actually different from others. They are just more disciplined, which includes proper time management, zero distraction and a highly focused mindset to accomplish success. And they are smarter, not in the sense of just knowing the book, but in the sense of adapting as fast as possible. They know exactly where they have issues, tackle them, answer questions on it, ask for help from teachers or other reliable sources once a problem arises, move on and cover more needed. This is just a supposed strategy, as they can deploy other strategies for the same goal — to score 370+ in JAMB.
"Talking about me now, by God's grace and my diligence, I (Azoyenime Samuel Chukwuemeka, popularly referred to as Azobaba) was Top 8 Nationwide in JAMB 2025 with a score of 372/400 at the age of 15 as of that time. Some have been brainwashed that such a feat is not possible, especially at that age.
"But the difference between me as a case study and other aspiring JAMBites is that I had the mindset that no goal is impossible to accomplish. So it drove me to burn the candle all night and start preparing for JAMB as early as the age of 11/12. As of the age of 13, I was already getting 300 consistently. Really shocking but true. The majority of us have heard the story of my life via various interviews and especially the TestDriller interview. Early preparation and a powerful mindset distinguish 370+ from 250+.
"This year, the highest in JAMB 2026 (Owoeye Daniella) also scored 372/400 as a coincidence with my score, and if you also hear her own line of the story, you can see that her main emphasis was early preparation and a resilient mind to success.
"Meet anybody who achieved a great feat in the UTME, you would see that we boil down to the same fact that a lazy man wouldn't eat the fruit of what he is supposed to have sown. A word is enough for the wise."
