INTERVIEW: I used AI to summarise notes, joined WhatsApp groups to study, says UTME top scorer
On Monday, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) declared
@OwoeyeDaniella the highest scorer in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The teenager topped the chart of the ten highest scorers with 372 marks. But from the depth of her preparation, the achievement is undoubtedly well deserved.
In this interview with TheCable’s IMOLEAYO OYEDEYI, the teenager takes a deep dive into the rigorous preparation and demanding journey that led to her UTME success. She says the biggest factor for her was not just parental support, but a mindset shift, because “big schools don’t define success”.
