JAMb: Man checks 2026 UTME result
However, the score he got did not sit well with him, as he felt that he deserved more.
Isaac explained that he sacrificed his sleep and several other things, hoping to score very high in the exam, but what he saw discouraged him.
In a mail forwarded to Legit.ng after seeing his UTME result, he said:
"I sacrificed sleep to prepare for JAMB, but my 235 left me feeling discouraged. Preparing for JAMB was one of the most intense periods of my life. I remember staying up late almost every night, reading, revising, and pushing myself beyond my limits."
"There were days I barely slept because I was determined to succeed and secure admission to study my dream course."
Due to what he put into his academics, with the hope that his hard work and late-night reading would eventually pay off, and also studying multiple past questions and giving it everything he had, he said that he believes he deserves better than what he saw when he checked his UTME result.
He continued:
"Like many other students, I believed that all the stress and sacrifices would pay off. I practiced past questions, focused on my weak areas, and stayed consistent even when it was exhausting. My goal was clear, and I gave it everything I had."
"Finally, the exam day came. I was nervous but also hopeful. I walked into the exam hall believing I had prepared well enough to perform excellently. However, during the exam, I faced some challenges that affected my performance. Despite that, I still kept going and did my best till the end."

UTME: Man sends message to JAMB candidates
Isaac continued that while many people might feel like his UTME or JAMB score is okay, it is not to him in any way, as he feels he is supposed to get a much higher score that reflects all the effort he put in, including his sleepless nights.
He continued:
"When my result was released, I scored 235. To many people, that might seem like a good score, but to me, it was discouraging. I had aimed much higher, especially because I want to study a competitive course. Seeing that score made me question if all my sleepless nights and hard work were really enough."
"For a moment, I felt disappointed and confused. But deep down, I know this is not the end of my journey. I am trying to stay hopeful and look for the next step, whether it is preparing for post-UTME or exploring other options."
"To other students out there who might be feeling the same way, I just want to say: don’t give up. Sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned, but that doesn’t mean your efforts were wasted. We just have to keep pushing and believe that something good will come out of it."
"This is just one part of my story, not the final chapter."
