This guy don create ‘Prep50’, one app wey dey help students prepare for JAMB, WAEC, and post-UTME exams, wey even make some students dey score as high as 350 and above!
Ejeziem talk am for interview wey him do with South-East Punch, say this app no just come out from tech idea, but e come as answer to the wahala wey plenty students dey face when dem wan sit for exam. E say e don dey observe the matter since 2014 when him first dey manage private JAMB Computer-Based Test center for Onitsha. Na there e see how students dey panic and scatter for the exam hall.
E tell us say, “From 2016, when JAMB start to use CBT everywhere, we don see plenty students wey no sabi how to navigate the exam, time management, or even how to fit understand wetin dey happen inside the exam interface. Na so e dey so bad say some no fit finish all 180 questions in the time wey dem get, especially those wey get Maths, Physics, Chemistry, or Economics.”
Chai! Some candidates no even sabi say dem fit scroll to see hidden questions for the screen, while other dey stuck for the first page like say dem wan collect second chance. Ejeziem come discover say the problem no be just about academic strength, but plenty system wahala dey ground, like students dey rely too much on past questions wey no dey structured well and the textbooks no match wetin JAMB dey set as syllabus.
No wahala, Ejeziem and him team come up with plan wey dem dey call ‘topic-by-topic learning model’. Dem restructure past questions since 1978 into clear topics wey dey align with JAMB syllabus. With this method, students fit master one concept for time instead of trying to swallow many topics within few hours.
Na so dem also see say this innovation fit help teachers too, as many of dem dey use past questions to organize their lessons. Early editions of Prep50 books even collect strong commendation from educators, though sales no dey fly initially.
But wait o, e no end for books alone! Ejeziem talk say ‘Prep50’ don expand reach full ecosystem; dem get mobile app and online tutorials. The app dey provide structured lesson notes wey cover every possible JAMB question for each topic, CBT simulations wey go make students feel like say dem dey for real exam, plus performance-tracking tools wey dey help students build speed and confidence.
Ejeziem come add say dem dey bring AI feature into the app, wey go collect UTME and SSCE data for years to create personalized study plans based on wetin each student sabi and wetin dem need work on. E clarify say this AI no be like others wey dey give random answers; this one dey follow verified exam data and guided learning models. Abeg, make dem no come mislead our students!
With this structure wey dem dey use, Ejeziem talk say dem fit study logically, master concepts gradually, and hold knowledge for long period instead of cramming. He come talk say UTME na one of the most competitive exams wey many Naija students go ever face, so dem need expert guidance to perform well.
‘Prep50’ get one strong philosophy wey e dey follow – ethical success. Their tagline be ‘Pass without cheating’. Ejeziem really dey try to give students better opportunity to pass their exams without carrying wahala on top dem head. Na here, we go fit say the future of exam preparation dey shine bright!
