My Journey Through Taking The Supplementary UTME Exam by Mrshape: 9:35pm On Jun 24
My exam was scheduled for Friday, the 21st at 6:30 am. I had to lodge in a hotel. Fortunately, the center I was posted to was the WAEC international CBT center, and WAEC has a hotel inside the compound called the Academy Guest House. The room was legit; I would rate it 10/10. That evening, I started playing my audiobook for "The Life Changer" and revising some points by scrolling through the syllabus.

By 6:00 pm on Thursday, I went out to get more food, but the road was flooded. Fortunately, I saw an auto rickshaw heading to the junction. Originally, I planned to buy beans. A portion of beans was #1,500, but something told me to buy other things as their beans might not be good. My favorite beans are from Kilimanjaro in Aduwawa. One time, they even asked for my name because I often called to order beans, sometimes up to four times a week. Their beans used to be 10/10 four years ago when they used pomo to cook it. Now, I would rate it 8/10, but they are still the best. However, Kilimanjaro at Benin City Mall is still okay; they are onion specialists, with a 1:1 ratio of beans to onions, I perceive. So, I decided to buy pounded yam and vegetable soup, sardine Bread and also shawarma.

The shawarma was very big, about 25 to 30 cm long. For those not familiar with the size, it was as long as a long ruler, with a base area of approximately 16πcm². For those not familiar with area, you can think of it like the base of a Coca-Cola bottle.

When I got back to my room, I started with the beans, but the taste was not good at all. So, I switched to the bread. The sardine bread was amazing; I had never tasted anything like it. I was almost dislodging the bread to 50% when I remembered I had not eaten the shawarma, It tasted very nice. My stomach was already rebelling against my wishes at this point. I had to pause eating and put the beans, pounded yam, vegetable soup, and the remaining two-thirds of the shawarma in the refrigerator. I went to the bathroom and took a hot shower. Afterward, I came back to the room, switched on the AC, and lay on my bed. The white soft duvet was very helpful; I buried myself in it and started using my phone. I used my phone until 2:00 am the next morning, then plugged it in and slept off. I woke up around 5:30 in the morning. I got some bread and went to join the queue for biometrics verification.

When I got there, I observed they were calling names. I asked another mature candidate if it was names they were using now. He was also surprised, so we decided to check the situation. We went to the third floor and inquired from the biometrics woman. She said it was just two names; I assumed they were special students or students with special needs. I told the guy we should go back, but he said he couldn't and jumped the queue, standing in front of a small boy. I simply went down and returned to my original place in the queue. After some time, I was reflecting on something that came to my mind: how old was Bint in the novel "The Life Changer"? My mind was reflecting on 8 or 9 years. I took an excuse from the person ahead of me, ran back to my room, picked up my phone, and checked. I found out that Bint was five years old. I quickly put my phone under the bed as I don't trust hotel rooms, and went back to the queue.

Finally, we all did the biometrics and went to the waiting room, there was seats for everyone to sit in the waiting room and even extra. A man who looked like a Northerner, based on his attire, addressed us and encouraged anyone who was impersonating to leave the hall now, as it was safe to do so. He said that impersonators and those with technical issues were the reasons for the delay. Nobody left the hall, so he said if they caught anyone impersonating, they would be sent to Abuja. Finally, they directed us to the computer room where we all took turns to find our numbers and sit in our seats, the computer screen was big and better than the one in my previous exam. They said the exam would commence at 8:30 am, but the waiting time felt like up to 2 hours. I can't be sure because there was no device to tell the time.

Finally, the exam started. The first subject displayed on my screen was Mathematics. Jesus! Christ, the math difficulty was quadruple that of the previous exam. Not that they couldn't be solved, but they required time. Some questions that really surprised me were the median of grouped data and special trigonometric functions. Math shouldn't be a problem for me, but this time, it was consuming all my time. At the end of the math exam, I had about 55 minutes left, so I went to English. The English difficulty level was normal compared to the previous one. Then came Chemistry. Its difficulty level was the same as the previous exam. In the end, I was left with about 11 minutes for Physics. Physics was very easy; I regretted not starting with it. Unfortunately, I didn't solvesome of the calculations that will take much time; I eliminated options to get the answer, while the non-calculation questions were straightforward.

After the exam, I went to my room, but I couldn't find my phone under the bed where I had hidden it, and I think my bread has changed position and now tightly tied, I went to the front desk to complain. They said nothing gets missing in the hotel and started calling the person who cleaned the room. Then I decided to check the locker and found that the person had kept the phone in the locker for me. I felt so humbled. I hid the phone from the hotel staff in case they came to clean the room and might steal it, but they found it and kept it safe for me.

Immediately after I left the hotel, I checked my result, hoping to see it immediately. Unfortunately, it wasn't out yet, and it still isn't out at this moment.
