As reported by Leadership, the brilliant student wrote two papers in AS Level Mathematics One and Three.

The excited student said the sleepover study camps at NTIC created an environment for her to focus and prepare for the examination.

“Consistently watching and solving past paper questions was a cornerstone of my success—solving past papers was actually a big deal because I had to print them out each time, which required dedication and resourcefulness.”

The Managing Director of NTIC, Feyzullah Bilgin, congratulated Caybasi for achieving the top spot in Nigeria for Cambridge AS Level Mathematics.

Bilgin added that Caybasi was one of the most successful students in the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGSCE) examination.

“This outstanding Cambridge Learner Award is a testament to her future success.”
