A Nigerian lady who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) four times has finally shared her 2026 result on social media, celebrating her perseverance despite memory and comprehension challenges.
The candidate, identified as @kadarakahira on TikTok, posted a screenshot of her scores in English, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry, showing a total of 260 marks. She scored 61 in Use of English, 67 in Physics, 56 in Biology, and 76 in Chemistry.
Struggles with Memory and Studying
In her emotional post, the lady revealed that she was never a naturally brilliant student and faced significant memory issues while preparing for the exam. She often forgot what she read and felt stuck while her peers seemed to grasp concepts more easily.
She admitted to crying in secret and fearing that she would never succeed due to her difficulty in answering questions. Her breakthrough came when she discovered a study method tailored to her learning style.
A Major Victory
The candidate emphasized that although her score might seem modest to others, it represented a monumental achievement for her. She said: "This score might look small to some people, but to me… it means everything. There were times I felt stuck in life. No matter how much I studied, it felt like I was still failing. I cried when no one was watching because I was scared I wouldn't make it."
Her post garnered reactions from social media users. One user, Gentlelounge 67, congratulated her and asked about her intended course. Another user, callmedestiny06, commented humorously: "Jamb don tire to Dey see your name na why dem just let u go nothing like hard work."
