He said that the little knowledge he had on the use of computer was a bit different from what he experienced while sitting for the examination. “For instance, I got so tensed I skipped to the next page when I was not through with the one I was answering. “Apart from this, everything went fine with me; I’ll just go and pray that God favours me,” he said.
