How many times are you people going to post this very same topic on Nairaland?
Re: How To Make A First Class Or Distinction In School by IbrahimB: 12:39pm On Sep 21, 2013
A first class is a very good thing to have; your parents or sponsors will feel amply rewarded! However, getting a first class doesn't mean you'll also be "first" in your industry. More importantly, not getting a "first" doesn't mean you're dumb or less "smart" than a person with a first smiley. Many students don't understand this. Many parents don't as well and exert too much pressure on their children. The most important thing to take out of school is "thinking outside the box" and not a 4.80 CGPA. Trust me. wink

True! But some work really hard and has nothing to show for it, while some first class graduate self are just 'la cram la pour' candidate. Abi?

Slyr0x: How To Make A First Class Or Distinction In School

1.) For the serious guys/girls - Cram as hard as you can and pour everything on exam day. This technique is popularly known as La Cram La Pour

2.) For the Unserious guys - Settle your way through. .15k per course

3.) For the Unserious babes - Bleep your way through. .


Sadly, this is what our Universities have turned to undecided

This topic has been exhausted in this classic nairaland thread. https://www.nairaland.com/163757/secrets-first-class-students
Lots of illuminating inputs from revered nairaland posters like Jarus, Davidylan, Dr Ferlie and many other posters who came out with first class and are not simply talking the talk. And the most surprising revelation on that thread was knowing that Seun "nairaland CEO" dropped out of school while he was leading his faculty in great IFE and may invariably have come out with a first class himself grin Make of that what you will.

Every intelligent peepz know that. You have to be intelligent/brilliant to get first class.

I did not play by any of the rules and started my first year with a third class result, joined all the bad companies and frats at year 3 and still graduated 2nd Upper. Today I am happy that the uni passed through me. I can hold my own anywhere both academically and otherwise

Forgive me, but what you wrote up there is a piece of trash! The "workaholic" students in my class are not in anyway near first class! What you need to obtain first class is as follows:
1. Natural talent: If you're not brilliant, forget it!!! No matter how hard you try 2:1 is your highest.
2. Religion: Believe it or not, God have his own part to play.
3. Plan and Dream: I can't tell you how many times I calculate and predicts my CPGA when school is in session, it serves as a pointer to how important a course is.
4. Forget Learning: This is Nigeria, and the lecturer don't give a crap about you understanding the course or not. He wants to read the exact duplicate of his note in your answer booklet. So if you can't cram, you're on your own.
5. Mingle with the right people: Believe it on not, every lecturer has his/her own favourite student, every now and then, there is always AOC(area of concentration).

Really great write up and just on point. Also add valuable skills to your firstclass, skills like soft typing, programming and so forth... It also contributes as well.

Been doing all those since the second semester of my first year.
And what i av learnt is that lecturers have thier different ways and techniques to teaching,setting questns,marking etc..
There r some u read tirelessly for,some u cram for,for some u must be active and relevant in class.
For me attending classes and studying is important.
Understanding my lecturer and skul system too is important

Actually the skills should be gotten during holidays, while during school period you are mastering books. Yes, there is also the God factor, believe it.

ASUU is the reason for the decline in first class graduates. The don't go to class, they insult students, the examine students in areas they didn't teach, they sleep with busty female students, they entirely discourage students. Just imagine ASUU hv received 2months salary since this strike began and the students have received nothing. And tomorrrow some one will say they are fighting our course.

When I was in school, I used to be the best student in a course human resources. I used to contribute so much during classes, my mates enjoyed those classes becuase of me, the attested to that severally. But guess what? I scored E in that course just because of a member of ASUU. If I were FG I will sack them all. That's the sanity and improvement we need in the sector.

I solely agree with you but still we can't undermine d imp of God has he controlls d circumstances dat d lecturers mark.Imagine a lecturer pickin ur script 2 mark nd he gets an annoying news,nd he pickin ur script when he gets a good news.d outcome of the marking of d former will differ from d latter.nd dats y God comes in

4) Don’t build serious relationships with the opposite sex
It is very essential to keep only platonic relationships with the opposite sex while in school. This might be very difficult especially if you are a pretty lady or a handsome guy but the truth is if you keep any serious relationships, it will eat out of your valuable time you would have spent studying.


IN 300L THAT WAS MY PROBLEM. HAD THE WORST RESULT. I STILL LIKE THE GIRL SHA AND WE ARE STILL TOGETHER. BUT IT COST ME MY GRADES.
