Transcripts
hello
and
welcome to my channel I know you are
obviously but I would let you introduce
yourself so please go ahead
okay
um hello everyone my name is
so you must have seen me or you might
upset me on Facebook that's girl that
scored 801s and it beat her in awake and
351 in Jam I'm 15 years old and I'm here
oh wow that's very impressive so you
know besides your jump score you scored
351 in Jam you add in this just released
in white results you add it he wants and
won't be in white and I also learned
that in the previous MBA that was last
year you also wrote GC and you had 70s
which is yes which is super amazing so
this is clearly not just some strike of
love there's something you are doing and
you are doing it very well and many of
us we really want to know this actually
I put it up that was going to interview
you and many people have been asking
questions and I'm going to ask you all
of these questions I I myself I have
questions how have you been consistently
having this great results but before we
go there before you answer this question
I just want to ask you how you feel how
you feel when you saw the result from
each exams how would you felt when you
saw your jam your wife and your existing
so you could start from the gist
I was surprised because I had a target
of like 330. so I wasn't expecting to
say 351 and when I saw like oh my God
this is how did this happen but like I
am very grateful like I'm just happy
that all my hard work paid off and for
waec I I expected it if I had got
anything like less than it is I would
have not been happy with the results so
like I really work hard to get that and
I'm happy
you know it came out too well nice so
for your GC you write it in SST when
you're in University normally it was
actually ss3 first term
oh wow wow
oh okay okay so that is you saw for the
white result you saw it coming
yes yes but for the jam you didn't see
that coming no at all I was not
expecting it okay you know you are you
actually among the top one percent
students in jamb this year
yeah yeah I I am I believe you'll be
among the first 20 on the list Jam
actually released the first thing but I
believe you'll be somewhere around the
first 20 on the list so
um
I'm going to just go with the questions
that people ask on social media and some
of the questions I personally have for
myself so the first question is how did
you prepare for your work how did you
prepare for it
let's start with that
okay so should I talk about why I can
jump or just okay yeah yeah you could
just talk about everything since you
prepared for all of them at about the
same time
right yeah and the seller goes for jump
and white is quite similar though so you
could just go either talk about boats
all right so for work it's not like
purely my work because I started from
school you know my teachers like they
teach they give you know classworks
assignments tests exams and things like
that and I feel like they had like a
really really great impact on My Success
they they really like I wanted to be
like really motivated me that I can
shoot for like a very high school in
fact the one that needs to get nine is I
don't know why English had to film me
what I have actually someone commented
that John ought to review a result and
give you the in English like how would
they do that I mean why credit I meant
why they are supposed to just give you
that in English right it was it was
painful but at least it was better than
GC as me I got more than GC then that
would have been really really bad okay
it was still okay so for Jam I did a lot
of self-study because Jam was like it
was a bit outside of school curriculum
yeah so how I studied first things first
I just go through my notes and like the
first thing I did was to go through the
the syllabus
okay oh jam then I go through what I
have been taught in school and what I
have not been taught you know things
that are in my notes and things that are
not there and then I start with other
things I've not been told like I use
like my textbook I go to like my best
friend doing Jam I think I used lamlad
for my chemistry physics and and
Mathematics then for English I used um
invisible teacher then jumpsuits of
English because like they were like my
best friends dance like I used my
textbook a lot for jam and like when
I didn't do a lot of past questions and
jump
because I know people that this the the
dependence solely on past questions and
I don't think it really helped but like
what I did when I go through a topic I
would like okay go up and check the
topic and they jump past questions my
jamb booklet had like a list of all the
topics and the years and questions that
they were in and like that was what I
did and also the TTA group right it was
very very helpful it was even true today
that I came across um the lambler text
books and you know many past questions
and tutorials like things that you know
every move before that's cool and um why
act two similar things you know past
questions and study but I think one
thing that really helped me was that I I
already had like a solid foundation or
in this subject from essence
did you attend
I attended Home Science Association
Secondary School in Alaska state yeah
kudos to your teachers they did a great
job yes they really did a great job
because when I was studying for Jam like
I would meet people that would ask me
okay may you please help me to solve
this question and like I know study did
not understand the basics so I did a lot
of the last minute studying exam and I
felt if I did not have like a solid
foundation before and it could have not
been like achieved so much in like such
small time yeah
yeah so the solid foundation is very
necessary yeah
yeah
and
so how long did it take you to prepare
for your jump and for why for why I
would say that I know that it took you
the all of your secondary school because
it's a continuous thing so but for Jam
that is a little outside the no it's
within the secondary school curriculum
but you know there's a difference yeah
so how long did it take you how many
months precisely did it take you do you
think it took you to prepare for okay so
for Jam my school started jamb classes
in January Okay and like I was just and
then we also have a normal classes so it
goes like jam a normal class like I was
just like trying to balance it too but
like about USD in SST when you wrote Jam
yes I was I was my sister
so about a month to jam that was when I
sat down like hey this thing is cereal
so like it is real and like I was really
really scared I was going to feel I
think that was what even made me like
read a lot like I was scared that
because people already expected me to to
have good like a teacher called me
behind and told me that you must not get
anything less than 3 30. so like that
was what people made me set my go to
three tests and I was looking at this
one like are you sure it's possible I'm
like I already know a lot of people they
had High Hopes And I could not like let
them down so like I sat down and I said
okay we have to start um practicing like
real hard I have started reviewing
whatever I've been told apps like doing
my own self study that was even how I
went to YouTube and I came across on
your Channel that I was able to get a
link to the ttas
um WhatsApp group
so I started practices for drama while a
month like serious study about a month
to jump yeah yeah like one can take away
from what you just said is like
preparing it is very important to have
the basic knowledge fundamentals of all
the Soviets you are doing another thing
is like networking meeting other
students who can actually be a very
helpful like the way the group was
helpful to you
so if you are preparing for for people
that will be preparing for the
subsequent exams try to connect with
fellow yeah students it's very very
important to connect to because it
really helped me okay so um the next
question is and this was a very common
question many people would like to know
how you actually study what technique do
you use and like some of the questions I
think one particular question was like
the girl don't chop Juju
[Laughter]
yeah yeah it's good so how do you study
what's
what techniques do you use What secrets
do you have that is making you
consistently do well
okay so I think the first thing when you
want to study is is to know what you
actually want to do like what you want
to study for my jam I did math physics
chemistry and English so like the two
subject I was very good at were math and
physics and chemistry and individual
like some of my weaknesses so when I
started studying for Jam I knew I had to
work a lot on English and chemistry so
next thing I did I sat down like a
suitable time I like to read in the
night like in the midnight because it's
always very very quiet and cool and like
it's only me like I set my study to like
around that one a.m to maybe four and I
do a little you know work the most of my
work is like during those hours
now next thing I've said earlier that
you should go through the syllabus
because they were something that
normally if I studied on my own without
going to the syllables I would have
skipped them like going through the
syllables talking to no okay these
topics were important so
go through past questions not for
studying but to know the pattern of
questions and to know which questions
are most likely to come out because over
and you go to prescription over the
years you know how questions come out
how they set questions like there are
some topics that they will not ask you
to define something like there's a way
to you know say the questions so there
are some questions that once you just
see the question you already know what
the answer is even without looking at
the options now my study techniques I
like to read from a lot of textbooks
but like during that month I did not
have a lot of time so that was why I
employed um lamlad because lambland is
it is I don't know I don't know how to
put it it is like descriptive but also
very short and it helps like grasp
things a lot and there are also practice
questions at the end of each topic so as
I'm studying I did most of my things
from lamblad so like if I talk I want to
study this topic I go to them like has
to say then go to jump past questions
like practice like some questions so
when you have a short time don't waste a
lot of time doing only past questions
because there are some questions that
like in in some questions like I think
let me take all inclusive physics for
example like it can have like a lot of
questions on a particular topic but if
you know you will notice that like five
questions they are the same pattern it's
just the figures that were changed so
don't wait a lot of time doing things
that you know doesn't do diverting known
and like focus on like you know more
important things yeah yeah
okay that's very cool okay yeah one yeah
go on go on
so for English
that one it really gave me a lot of
headacheco in fact my English I think it
was English was one way I did most of my
past questions because English does not
have one definite path to follow you
have to be like diverse you have to go
through about different things so
English I had a book where I like jotted
down a lot of things especially those
words those big grammar like they draw
down their meanings they are maybe their
applications synonyms and antonyms and
things like that I I still have the
bookshelf and for my life changer that
life changer ah
I already like maybe like two weeks like
I read legendary before around December
but like so I felt like I knew it so I
didn't need to read it again and then I
never answered one question like I do
not know it's a simple question like so
I went to live video I started writing
every single detail even from the color
of the clothes and everything so I feel
like you should just try to be extensive
but also try to like cut down a lot of
jump because most of the things in some
past questions you don't need them
all right so the next question is how
many hours do you read each day like on
normal when when we're not preparing for
this exams when you're in secondary
school how frequent do you read and how
many hours does it take you to read and
during this exam period how many hours
did you read then
okay so when I was in school I was
mostly like
um spend my time after school doing
assignments and studying for tests but
let's say I get them around six I
probably start reading around eight to
like whenever I get tired which is
around maybe 10 to 11 then sometimes I
mean I like wake up early the next day
maybe around three or four before like I
started preparing for school around five
but like during Jam I had like these two
weeks my school let us stay at home for
two weeks before jam and like I had like
a lot of free time so like I need like a
normal school period I wake up five like
I start reading around maybe like that's
seven to
or maybe in the afternoon but like
between those hours I obviously take
breaks so let's say on a normal school
day
apart from school at home maybe like
three to four hours then weekends is
like more than that obviously then when
I was at home
I don't really know but let me just say
eight it might not be better
now it's but let me just look around
that thing because in the afternoon I
don't really do a lot of study like that
in the afternoon it's mostly in the
middle that's when I can really
concentrate
so how many hours do you sleep
you said you were okay when I was in
school I used to sleep in class A lot
because I don't sleep a lot I don't know
I don't even know how many hours but I
know I don't sleep in maybe like if I if
I slip off I sleep off for my work maybe
like 11 12 well I also have to wake up
five in the morning so get ready for
school so you can calculate that yeah
but like during that jam I I I did take
my sleep I slept I know I slept now yeah
sleep is important to make sure you
sleep too as you read and sleep well
because I'm kind of an advocate for
sleep
all right so
um the next question is what advice
would you be having for students
Secondary School students saying that
stay in secondary school that are going
to be taking this exams in the future
what advice you have for them
so first things first don't see that
something you cannot achieve because
I've heard people that'll be like ah 351
you you are not in our league or you
were created by someone else it's not
God that made this or no but like like
they can't do like there was this girl
in my jump center before we started the
exam she told me that I cut off Mark for
our school was 200 and she was aiming
for a score of 216. and that's why 260
why not 300 like the highest score in
Germany is 400 and most people get
around that you know 200 and something
so like if you now reduce your own
threshold to 260. what are you now going
to get like she had already like you
know rubbish like Shadow any like
reduced herself from the start even
before the exam so don't do that always
like know that you can do with adequate
preparation you can do it now second I
think you should um
prepare for the worst jamb exam ever
like see your exam as like the most
difficult Jam that will ever come out
like and like use that as motivation to
really really you know study and pray
for the best like so like what you're
doing you're preparing for like the most
difficult example you're praying to God
that you get you know easy questions
because I feel like you know we all did
different jumps so my questions were
questions that they were not easy
questions but like there were questions
that I knew and I knew how to solve I
even had problems during my example like
because I already knew them it was easy
for me to like you know find my way
through so always prefer Pro the most
difficult exams now three you should
start your preparation early I think
that was one of the mistakes I made in
Jam but my advantage was that I already
had a good foundation so start early
like I think it's three months to your
exam especially if you have not been in
school for a long time so you can know
how you know how to go about it then my
last one
try to connect with other Jam bites with
other students that are also writing the
exams whether it is and try to know
things from their own point of view and
if you are a good student try to
practice by teaching others yeah because
when I was in TTA there are people that
would contact me okay let's do this
study thing let's read those words and
like even me as I would like explaining
things to them there were things I was
learning along the person and there are
things that like they do just never
leave you because you already it's
already past and possible with you so I
try to teach others connect with other
people and if you need help and you know
you truly need help you should meet your
teachers if you're still in school or
your classmates that you know they know
it or you should go for tutorials some
people I don't know they don't really
like people for tutorial don't sit down
at them I've been reading past questions
if you know you need help go for
tutorials if you know you can do it on
your own then do it on your own yeah
that's a wonderful advice very thank you
very much okay and this is going to be
the last question
you don't have to answer this question
because I know I've spoken to quite a
number of students I know some people
don't like to disclose their plan for
the future so it's clear I'm glad you
have a very great result
and you're going to be writing posterior
Mission or
you may be planning something else and
your chances of getting admission is
very easy like very high so my question
is what are you planning for the future
what university are you planning to do
are we choosing
and what are you going to be doing with
this your results basically
what will I be doing when like what will
you be doing with your result which
university are you going to be choosing
or are you planning to Jack by
okay so I think that jackpot is actually
my top option
because
um I actually plan on going to a federal
University but like this strike and the
age limit is like it's not going to be
that easy so I want to study computer
science or computer engineering just
something along that Computing field in
University but I'm most likely not going
to go to a Nigerian universities
okay because I'm like I'm already like
you know having plans for like investors
yeah yeah that was great like Nigeria
education system is Big it's like really
really really discouraging like can you
imagine now we've been on Skype for
almost six months like six months uh and
it's still counting really so I wish you
all the best in your ndps and any person
that is also watching this she's just an
evidence that YouTube can also achieve
this if you put your mind to it just you
know someone usually tell me someone
once told me that Target the Sun so if
you don't miss the sun you can land on
the moon so don't believe so what you're
capable of achieving and you know I wish
you guys success as well so yes thank
you very much for your time I really
really happy
all right bye-bye all right bye guys
