To add to all of what everyone has said, I will like to emphasize on the issue of the type of friends u keep. Believe me, if u have unserious friends, and by that I mean those who still believe in never reading till the D day or those who over indulge in extra curricular activities eg clubs, parties, church related things, just to belong, u'll fail and that's not a joke. I've seen the best fail an exam in medicine just cos they were too over confident and the supposedly 'dumb' ones been given maximum respect just cos they were able to maintain the min requirement which is half mark in all their exams. Bribing lectures and all that crap u watch in nollywood movies does not work cos at the end of the day, u will be fished out when ur ignorance shines like a beacon during viva or clinicals. I guess, the summary of all this is to bend down, read one chapter at a time, reread it again and again and again, cram ur note if need be cos nothing makes a lecturer so happy if u repeat verbatim all what u've been given with pics, tables and all. I once drew a baby with phocomelia/amelia when we told to talk about the dangers of thalidomide. Hey, anything to give me my extra marks. This is a race and to win it, u ve to do all what it takes and more to get to the finish line. Good Luck

Yeah, while I was typing the above, I remembered vividly that when I was in first year, more than half of my classmates (and I'm not exaggerating), were unable to make 2 sentences in correct English. I was baffled cos I cldnt comprehend how someone who had passed all his papers to qualify to read Medicine cld have such a problem. Surprisingly, towards our 3rd year, these crop of people had markedly improved in their vocabulary and command of English. It was indeed a Miracle or maybe it wasn't cos we were told categorically that nothing pisses off an external examiner more than when u re unable to express urself in good English. Kinda reminds me of a guy who had to explain something in his native language so well during 2nd MBBS viva cos he was unable to communicate effectively in English language. The lecturers were so impressed and amused that they passed the guy making him a legend. This is one of those rare cases so guys watch ur grammar.

I wrote my waec dis year with my jamb. In the waec i made all my papers excluding maths my maths was a flat F9. Then in my jamb I scored 244. I put UNN and UniAbuja as first and second choice respectively. Then in UNN pume i got 220 and dats an aggregate of 232. But my name didnt make d admin list. I didnt purchase shopping form cos my waec made me to lose hope. Then 4 uniabuja u all know dia story - non acreditation and 5ate admin list. Then i got admin to study marine engr in one skul at lokoja my uncle said dat d skul is not acreditaded dat he wont pay. But i didnt put up any argument cos dats not what i want in life. I had to let it go. D oda day i was coming home when dis coaster bus conveyin student docs passed me i felt like d most worthless person on earth for having failed my exams.
