Why many struggle to score 200 in UTME
Legit.ng asked Azoyenime Samuel Chukwuemeka, an OAU student who scored 372 in the 2025 UTME, about why he thinks many students still struggle to score above the 200 mark, and he responded:
"Many students still struggle to score above 200 marks due to a whole lot of factors. A major one is POOR ACADEMIC BACKGROUND. The manner in which a lot of schools are breeding young minds is highly terrible and concerning. Many schools don't teach their students to the standards that are expected of them according to JAMB exams. So, they have not been exposed to the deep roots of the concepts of these topics, which JAMB sets.
"This leaves the students in a state of hopelessness and ultimately, failure in the exam due to a bad foundation. Some people are surrounded by people who constantly discourage them from reading. They serve as a form of distraction all the time. So, they won't have the external energy to drive them to always study for the exam; instead, negative peer pressure would push them otherwise.
"The majority are drowned in the pool of always watching content on TikTok, Instagram, X, Snapchat, and so on that won't benefit them, especially when they are fully aware that the exam is very near. It's very terrible because the result would not be good."
