Some years ago, I was billed to take the Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board’s Exam. I was very prepared and very sure that I would
score above 200 marks, which was the minimum cut- off for progression unto the
next stage of the admission hunting war. I was however, not sure of the
particular range above 200 my score would fall into: whether it would be 201 or
299, I couldn’t say, I just knew that based on my level of preparation, I could
not score below 200. But I wanted to score very high, at least in the range of
250 - 270 to boost my chances of gaining admission that year. So I met a friend
who was into exams runs and he promised to forward some answers to my phone on the
day of the exam as far as I can manage to take my phone into the exam hall. I
knew that might be a problem, but I still assured him that I would be with my
phone and he should perform his magic as promised!
