Lady reacts to her 2026 UTME performance

"Not exactly where I wanted, but I can’t even lie, I’ll raise my shoulder small," Ramlah wrote.

Avoidable mistakes UTME candidates make in exam hall
Mrs Esther Ajayi, a basic science, mathematics, and biology teacher at Divine Knowledge International School, Elebu Alaaka, Ibadan, Oyo State, weighed in on some of the avoidable mistakes students make in the exam hall that affect their scores.
She told Legit.ng in an exclusive chat that:
"One common mistake is panic. Some students become nervous immediately they see difficult questions and lose concentration.
"Another mistake is poor time management, spending too much time on one question. Some students also fail to read instructions carefully and make unnecessary errors.
"Others rush through questions without properly understanding what is being asked. Staying calm, managing time wisely, and reading carefully can make a big difference in performance."

He explained in the post that he did not read for the said JAMB exam before eventually writing it, and he mentioned the course he would love to study at the university.
