Nigerian Student Scores 372 on JAMB Using Quiz Platform

Owoeye Daniella just scored the highest mark in Nigeria on an exam that determines everything: whether you get into university, and which program will accept you.

Her score of 372 out of 400 on the 2026 JAMB exam puts her well above the cutoff for Medicine and Surgery, her dream field. She prepared using QuizBoot, an online platform that lets tutors create practice tests and students track their progress in real time.

More than 2.2 million students registered for this year's exam, the largest group in recent memory. For each one, a single test score decides their future.

QuizBoot saw 30,000 active users during exam season, with students completing over 1.5 million practice quizzes since the platform launched. Daniella worked through DailyEd Tutorials, a coaching service that used QuizBoot to deliver daily tests and biweekly mock exams that mimicked real testing conditions.

"The quiz is one of the key factors in my success," Daniella said. "It exposed us to real exam conditions."

Peter Olayinka built QuizBoot after watching students constantly scramble for practice materials. What started as a personal coding project in 2021 has grown into a platform with over 230,000 registered users, and it's done so without any outside investment.

The platform works two ways. Tutors create quizzes, set their prices, and publish them to students. Students buy access, take the tests, and see exactly where they need to improve.

The Ripple Effect

While Daniella was studying, tutors were building businesses. One tutor earned over 1.4 million naira (about $2,800) between March and April 2026 just by creating and selling quiz packs through the platform.

Nearly 100 tutors have now earned income through QuizBoot. For teachers who already work with students through coaching centers or social media, the platform handles payment processing and quiz delivery without requiring them to build their own websites or apps.

Nigeria's education technology market was worth $302 million in 2024 and is growing at 13 percent annually. As more tutors move online, platforms that combine test creation, student access, and automatic payments are capturing more of that growth.

QuizBoot's results tell a clear story: a bootstrapped platform with no advertising budget reached 20,000 users in peak exam season, helped produce the country's top scorer, and created a meaningful income stream for educators who invested in building quality content.

The digital shift in exam preparation isn't coming later; for thousands of Nigerian students and tutors, it's already here and working.
