Why many students struggle to score above 200
When asked why many UTME students struggle to score above 200, Raheem Morizuq Owolabi, an educational consultant and the Academic Director of Smart Scholar Academy (SSA), told Legit.ng:
"My emphasis is on poor and late preparation. Candidates mostly score below 200 because of poor preparation strategies rather than a lack of intelligence. Many candidates start preparing too late, relying heavily on their instincts, as they often say, āItās just a CBT exam.ā As a result, they fail to build a solid understanding of key concepts and maintain consistency in practising questions.
"Another major issue is a lack of familiarity with the CBT format, which leads to anxiety and poor time management during the exam. However, it is also important to note that many candidates have weak foundations from secondary school, especially in core subjects, and this remains a major factor affecting their performance."
