A final-year student of the University of Ibadan (UI), Kabirat Ojo, has sparked widespread discussion on social media after sharing how she uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to prepare for examinations.
Ojo, a 400-level student of Educational Management, drew attention after publishing a LinkedIn post outlining practical strategies students can adopt to improve their academic performance during examination periods.
Among her recommendations was the use of AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT and Gemini to enhance learning and simplify complex topics.
The post quickly gained traction online, drawing reactions from students, graduates, and education stakeholders who weighed in on the growing influence of AI in higher education.
In her message, Ojo encouraged students to view examinations as opportunities to assess their knowledge and improve their understanding rather than as obstacles to fear.
“Examinations are not enemies but checkpoints. They are opportunities to assess your understanding, grow, and learn how to do better next time,” she wrote.

She advised students who may feel unprepared for examinations to focus on making the most of the time available instead of dwelling on past shortcomings.
“If you feel unprepared, don’t dwell on the past. Focus on the present and future. Start now. Catch up. Strategize. Aim to perform your best,” she said.
Highlighting the role of technology in modern learning, Ojo urged students to leverage AI tools to support their studies.
“Use AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini AI to break down complex topics,” she advised.
Beyond the use of AI, Ojo outlined other study strategies, including reviewing lecture notes, studying past examination questions, understanding examination instructions, managing time effectively, and maintaining a positive mindset throughout the examination process.
The viral post has generated conversations about the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence among students and its potential impact on learning outcomes.
While many social media users praised the recommendation as a practical way to enhance understanding, others stressed the need for responsible use of AI to ensure it complements rather than replaces independent learning.
The discussion comes amid a broader global debate on the role of generative AI in education, with schools and universities exploring ways to integrate emerging technologies into teaching and learning while safeguarding academic integrity.
Ojo concluded her message by encouraging students to remain focused and confident despite the pressures often associated with examinations.
“Exams are challenging, but with focus, strategy, and a positive mindset, success is within reach,” she said.
Her comments have since resonated with many students navigating examination season, highlighting the growing role of artificial intelligence as a study aid in Nigeria’s evolving educational system.
