“And to think he only missed one question he got 800/800 in math and missed one in English that carried 20 marks. He was really on demon time. Mehn when it comes to sat I know that exam isn’t easy at all. My brother wanted to write cuz he’s naturally smart and he was 15 at the time. We didn’t have high hopes at all. The score was a surprise.
“He got 89 in physics because his physics question wasn’t complete and his time was going same with English, jamb has a lot of reviewing to do this year cuz even this Ite we’re happy about was meant to be higher lmao. He complained about physics and English a lot.”
She also confirmed that her brother was an Engineering aspirant.
