A student of Erudite Millennium in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, Miss Aisha Boladale, has given insight into how she won the British Council’s Country Best Award for Cambridge A’ Level Biology.

Boladale scored 91 per cent to beat all other Cambridge A’ Level scholars in Nigeria.

She was announced winner of the award at an event held on Thursday at the Civic Centre on Victoria Island in Lagos.

Boladale, who recently scored 8/9 in IELTS Academic Writing, has been speaking about her experience at the co-educational institution with its headquarters in Ibadan.

She said: “I want to specially thank Erudite Millennium Limited for what it has made out of me during my one-year stay.

“The educational institution is one-of-a-kind in Africa, known for its exemplary performance in different foreign programmes, such as Cambridge, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, and lots more.

“I personally joined Erudite in January 2022. I took part in the one-month training for the American College Test (ACT) and got 35 out of 36 in ACT English. Then, I joined the Cambridge October/November class. I was quite taken aback when I realised it was only going to be an eight-month long programme.

“…I came out with 16/16 points (A*AA: 91 per cent in Biology, 89 per cent in Chemistry and 83 per cent in Physics). Then, I proceeded to sit for the SAT after one month of training and scored 1410 out of 1600. I also wrote the IELTS and I got an overall band score of 8 out of 9, with a band 9 in listening and band 8 in academic writing.

“The experience I gathered during my stay at Erudite was also immeasurable. I got to share ideas with other students from different educational backgrounds, including people from different parts of the world – America, Qatar, Malaysia, Liberia, and so on…

“Perhaps, what is most notable about Erudite is the utmost professionalism and diligence of the staff members, coupled with the determination to give excellent results in a short period of time and make unimaginable progress.

“Imagine going from a 60 per cent success rate in the 2022 May/June Cambridge examination to an incredible 80 per cent success rate in the October/November series of the same year!!!

Boladale’s father, Dr. Abiodun Boladale, said he was surprised that his daughter recorded such a feat.

He said: “My Aisha scoring 16 points in Cambridge ‘A’ Levels was incredible. She has just been offered admission by the University of Ibadan, effortlessly, into 200 Level to study Medicine and Surgery. That is aside other offers from universities abroad…” (The Nation)
