Teacher shares pattern observed in 2026 UTME
Legit.ng asked Mrs Esther Ajayi, who teaches mathematics, basic science and biology at Divine Knowledge International School, Elebu Alaaka, Ibadan, Oyo State, about the patterns she observed in the 2026 UTME, and she replied:
"One major pattern I noticed is that many students depended too much on “reading hard” without actually understanding the exam structure and practising properly.
"A lot of students knew their notes but struggled with speed, comprehension, and CBT familiarity.
"I also noticed that students who started preparation early and practised consistently with past questions performed much better than those who rushed preparation close to the exam date."
