Sixteen-year-old Oritsemeyiwa Precious Ebule has revealed the key factors behind his remarkable performance in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), where he scored an impressive 334 out of 400.

In a chat with The Nation from Warri, Delta State, the Federal Government College, Warri student attributed his success to a strong academic foundation and a habit of paying close attention during lessons.

He said, ?The secret behind my JAMB score is not only because I read. From my SS 1 to SS 3, I have always had a good educational foundation, and I always listen to my teachers when they are teaching because there are some things that the teachers would say that are not in my book, so I pick up more information from what they say than what I read. That?s what makes me different from others and why I got a very high score in my JAMB, 334.?

Oritsemeyiwa scored 98 in Mathematics, 98 in Physics, 85 in Chemistry, and 53 in English, making a total of 334 out of 400.

The future ?Mechanical Engineer? disclosed that he was ?surprised? at his score, adding ?not that I knew I couldn?t score that high, but during my Mock when I scored 326, it was easy. When I wrote my JAMB, it was a bit more difficult, yet I scored more. So, I was surprised.?

He recalled that the morning of the examination he had mixed feelings, stating, ?I was a little afraid, but more confident because I had already studied.?

Ebule further expressed gratitude to his parents for their support and sacrifices in ensuring that he got quality education that reflected in his high score. (The Nation)
