UTME Top Scorer Credits Prep50 For Success


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uhcxNUNQ3Y?si=Z2ALdGiDv8x1L2UE

The highest-scoring candidate in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), Daniela Owoeye, has credited Prep50, alongside disciplined study, concept-based learning and consistent revision, as one of the key resources that contributed to her outstanding score of 372.

Speaking during an interview with Emeka Ejeziem, chief executive officer of Deacons Publishers Limited, publishers of the Prep50 series, Daniela said the study resource played a significant role in helping her prepare effectively for the examination.

She explained that while she began preparing for the UTME around September with past questions, online tutorials and other study materials, her preparation became more structured after she started using Prep50 during the intensive revision period.

According to her, one of the major strengths of Prep50 was its topic-by-topic arrangement, which aligned with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) syllabus and made revision easier.

"The topics were well broken down and summarised before the questions. It prevented me from feeling overwhelmed and helped me identify concepts I had not previously covered," she said.

Daniela added that the material also enabled her to verify answers where she had doubts, describing it as a useful companion to her teachers, textbooks and online tutorials.

Asked whether she could have achieved the same score without Prep50, the top scorer admitted she was unsure, noting that the resource became one of her major revision tools in the weeks leading to the examination.

"I was using it most of the time during my revision. It really helped me cover hidden concepts and organise my studies," she said.

Beyond the study material, Daniela attributed her success to understanding concepts instead of memorising answers.

She advised candidates to identify the topics behind examination questions, analyse answer options carefully and avoid falling into common examination traps.

The UTME top scorer also dismissed the belief that candidates must study for 15 hours daily to excel, revealing that she studied for about eight hours a day with emphasis on quality and consistency.

According to her, regular Computer-Based Test (CBT) practice, effective time management and continuous revision were equally important in achieving high scores.

She encouraged candidates to answer easier questions first during the examination, noting that every question carries equal marks.

Daniela further advised prospective candidates not to rely solely on past questions but to combine textbooks, classroom lessons, mock examinations and concept-based learning with structured revision.

She maintained that success in the UTME is not reserved for naturally brilliant students but for those who prepare consistently, identify their weaknesses early and work diligently to improve.

The interview formed part of Deacons Publishers' effort to highlight the study strategies adopted by the 2026 UTME highest scorer and her experience using Prep50 during her preparation.

Bravo

I once tutored a girl who turned out to be one of the highest scorers in UTME that year

That's one of my achievements...

I taught her English and that's where she got most scores, actually English is where any candidate can have most scores but it turned out to be where most students fail

I am proud of my achievements as a teacher ( the most underrated and underpaid job on earth)

PS - I no longer teach (officially)

Help a brother which be prep50 again

Great development! Nothing can take the place of one on one private home lessons. It still remains the best.

Please I want to ask.
All these Nigerian YouTubers are funny. She granted a simple interview or made a simple comment,
You turned into a 35 minutes video. Like 35 minutes?
Abeg is she reading out her family's genealogy? What is wrong with you guys? Who has time and data to watch that bullshit you made up.
You are posting a 35 mins video for just this her small talk.

And may God bless you for imparting knowledge. May your reward be here on earth while you are alive. Good teachers deserve Kudos

I wrote JAMB thrice too. I got 161 in 1997, 217 in 1998 and 181 in 1999. My last JAMB result was low because I was very ill and I didn't finish. I still got admitted with the result.
Seeing your results back then was another wahala too. JAMB office at Ikoyi was the result center. You can imagine the crown there whenever we go to check for results

Kudos to this Innocent 😇 looking Girl.
Kudos to her Parents and
Kudos to the Teachers.

Perfectly true!

My father gave me an opportunity to have a one-on-one tutor in the 80s while I was in primary school, preparing for the common entrance and federal government college exams

The private tutor he hired gave me sound training, opened my eyes and minds to the rudiments of learning, assimilation and understanding of concepts while studying

Congratulations to her. I hope that she gets a good recognition and support for her excellence.

No billionaire will ever see this kind of thing and award her millions.

Things are better now, but back then, we had no access to information. Information is key. If a topic gives me a problem now, I know where to go to. They are lucky to live in this geneation. What a student just needs now is to be focused and use IT to their advantage.

There're lots of app out there that would also do that same work, your resilience helped you girl.
Kudos to the advancement in technology.

Nigeria is a great country.
Just look at how brilliant a locally trained girl is?
World class already.

Our “Egbon adugbo” made us believe that one would not pass jamb at first sitting, also they told us that one would have to go for jamb lesson after SSS3 and use “odu” (expo) before one could pass ☹️☹️.

Don't generalise.
Failure wasn't widespread, it was just within your circle.

Environmental factors play a key role in educational outcomes.

Technology is improving realy fast day by day, also Artificial Intelligence is making it much faster when integrated into education theres no way students will be scoring below 250 at least again as times goes on
