A Nigerian JAMB candidate has stirred massive attention on social media after she publicly rejected her 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result, which reportedly showed a total score of 149—much lower than what she expected based on her preparation and mock exam performance.
The candidate, who goes by the username @Midettw on X (formerly Twitter), voiced her frustration in several emotional posts. She explained that she had invested significant time and effort in preparing for the UTME, having consistently scored above 280 in practice tests and mock exams, including a remarkable 297 in her JAMB mock examination.
According to her, she relied heavily on platforms such as Test Driller and other Computer-Based Test (CBT) tools to assess her readiness, and at no point during her preparation did her scores fall anywhere near the 100s.
Sharing her concern, she wrote: “Throughout all my CBT practice tests, including Test Driller and others, I consistently scored above 280, never dropping to the 100s. However, my official result is now showing 149. @JAMBHQ, please review and rectify this discrepancy. #THISISNOTMYRESULT.”
In a follow-up post, she added: “I checked my results this morning expecting 300+ but was shocked to see 149, with my highest being Chemistry (44). I don’t know what’s going on, but I do know.”
Her emotional plea has attracted widespread attention online, with some users sympathizing with her and others urging the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to look into the matter. Many netizens have expressed concern over the accuracy and transparency of the UTME results, especially in light of similar complaints surfacing from other candidates.
As her posts continue to circulate, they have sparked a broader conversation about the reliability of standardized test results and the need for institutions to maintain public trust through proper accountability and prompt investigation of reported discrepancies.
