Meet Daniella: How Prep50 Supported Nigeria's 2026 UTME Top Scorer
372 out of 400.
That was the outstanding score achieved by Owoeye Daniella Jesudunsin, who emerged as the highest-scoring candidate in Nigeria in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
At just 16 years old, Daniella demonstrated what consistent preparation, discipline and a structured approach to learning can achieve.
But behind the 372 was more than a single examination day. It was months of preparation, practice, revision and learning — and Prep50 became one of the resources she relied on during her intensive revision period.
A Score That Stood Out
Daniella scored 372/400 in the 2026 UTME, placing her at the top of the national results.
Her result included:
- English Language — 98
- Chemistry — 98
- Physics — 94
- Biology — 82
She chose the University of Lagos as her first choice to study Medicine and Surgery.
For Prep50, however, the most important part of Daniella's story is not only the number 372.
It is the preparation behind it.
How Daniella Prepared for JAMB
Daniella's preparation was built around consistency and understanding.
According to her interviews, she started preparing months before the examination and used several learning resources, including past questions, tutorials, online materials and CBT practice.
She also adopted a topic-by-topic study approach, focusing on understanding concepts rather than simply memorising answers.
This is where Prep50 became particularly useful during her revision.
Daniella explained that the topic-by-topic arrangement of Prep50 made her revision more organised and helped her identify concepts she had not fully covered.
Rather than being presented with questions randomly, she could focus on a particular topic, study it and then practise questions related to that topic.
As she explained during an interview with Deacons Publishers Limited, the topics were broken down and summarised before the questions, which helped prevent her from feeling overwhelmed and allowed her to identify areas she needed to improve.
Prep50 as Part of Her Revision
Daniella did not describe Prep50 as her only preparation resource.
Instead, she used it alongside her teachers, textbooks, tutorials, past questions and other learning resources.
During the intensive revision period, however, she said she was using Prep50 frequently because it helped her organise her studies and uncover concepts she might otherwise have missed.
This is exactly the approach Prep50 is designed to support.
Prep50 organises examination practice topic by topic, allowing students to move beyond simply answering random past questions.
Students can study a concept, practise questions from that area, receive feedback and identify areas where they need more revision. The platform also provides CBT-style practice and performance tracking.
Understanding Instead of Memorising
One of the biggest lessons from Daniella's preparation is the importance of understanding.
For her, preparing for JAMB was not simply about memorising answers to past questions.
She focused on understanding the concepts behind the questions.
This helped her approach unfamiliar questions and think through the available options during the examination.
Her advice to other candidates is simple: understand the topic behind the question.
Past questions are valuable, but students should not depend on memorising them alone. Combining past questions with textbooks, classroom lessons, tutorials, mock examinations and concept-based learning can provide a more complete preparation strategy.
Consistency Matters
Daniella also challenged the idea that students must study for extremely long hours every day to succeed.
She reported studying for around eight hours a day during her preparation, while placing emphasis on the quality and consistency of her study. She also highlighted CBT practice and time management as important parts of her preparation.
Her journey shows that preparation is not just about how many hours a student spends with a book.
It is about what happens during those hours.
Are you understanding the topic?
Are you practising enough questions?
Are you learning from your mistakes?
Are you revising your weak areas?
These are the habits that can make preparation more effective.
A Success Story That Inspires Other Students
Daniella's achievement is a reminder to students preparing for JAMB that exceptional results are built over time.
Her 372 did not come from one night of studying.
It came from months of preparation, discipline, practice, revision and support from the people and resources around her.
Prep50 is proud to have been part of that preparation journey.
Her story also reflects what we want more students to experience: preparing with understanding, practising consistently and walking into the examination with confidence.
What Other JAMB Candidates Can Learn From Daniella
Daniella's preparation offers several practical lessons for students preparing for future UTME examinations:
Start early.
Do not wait until the examination is close before beginning serious preparation.
Study topic by topic.
Break large subjects into smaller concepts that you can understand and practise.
Practise past questions.
Past questions can help you become familiar with how examination concepts are tested.
Use CBT practice.
Getting comfortable with the computer-based examination format can help you manage time and reduce surprises on examination day.
Learn from your mistakes.
Getting a question wrong is not the end. Understanding why you got it wrong is part of the learning process.
Focus on understanding.
Do not depend only on memorising answers. Understand the concepts behind the questions.
Stay consistent.
Small, focused study sessions repeated consistently can build strong preparation over time.
From Preparation to Achievement
Daniella's 372/400 is now part of the 2026 UTME record.
But her story goes beyond the score.
It is a story of a student who prepared deliberately, used different learning resources, stayed consistent and focused on understanding what she was studying.
For Prep50, it is also a reminder of why we continue to build tools that make examination preparation more structured and accessible for Nigerian students.
Daniella prepared. She practised. She revised. And she delivered.
Now, her story can inspire the next generation of students to do the same.
Your 300+ journey can start with one topic.
Study smart. Practise consistently. Understand more.
