"Has anyone noticed that students with scores over 300 seem to have a low score in English lang? Those with 320+ have their English language score in the 60's range? Is it a coincidence that these guys excel in all other subjects except English lang?"

@kpakopikin said:

"I noticed most jamb results coming from students in villages and rural areas english is always a problem."

@MmadubuikeTobe said:

"He took the risk, and it paid off...
"Deferring that admission to fight for scholarship is what I call going all in.
"Even nature will know that his plan A,B,C & D is getting the scholarship.
"He should be our ambassador in Kwechiri.
"I hope I get to meet him someday ."
