People advised the unhappy UTME candidate
Emeka Shalom Chukwuemeka said:
"Sorry about that but I think you were a bit overconfident, the best way to floor UTME (especially when you're aiming for a higher score) is to keep improving to better your previous scores.
"I wrote the exams several times until I got the best I needed to get into the university. I wish you the very best in your next attempt."
Blessing Ihechi said:
"Most of us ended up not studying the course we desired…that is reality for you….it’s time you realize things will not always work the way you planned them, however pray for what God has designed for you.''
Godwin Abel said:
"To solve all these issues of scores let jamb be giving out the marked script.
"Because most people marked down actually did well.
"I don't trust Nigeria educational system especially on exams.
"Lots of people are benefiting from it and will do anything to make people keep writing these exams."
Edeh Isaac said:
"There is proof of intelligence already. All you need to do is question your flaws, mistakes, etc, and find a way to distract yourself from Social media by Setting a new goal for a better higher score next year. Also, keep your mind busy by learning a Tech skill that could help sharpen your mind to task delivery. Do this and thank me next year with your Congratulatory admission letter. Cheers to a better you!"

"If I have a child, you will have two soft or digital skills and two Hard Skills before going to university. Education will equip with Knowledge but ability to turn Knowledge into product requires skills. Discover yourself through Skills then go to school to learn more about what you discovered."
