Pls how do one read and understand what you've read pls I need advice.

ok its simple. i got this method back then wen i was writing jamb. after reading especially courses that are very volatile. take a bread and go and do sometin else, while u r on that thing maybe sweeping try to recall what u have read, if u cant recall a particular part, drop what you are doing and and look up what u cant remember . do that evritime and what u have read u wud understand n remember

Good points as listed out..... Apart from the above listed reasons, some Student re just too so sure of themselves, they do Everything on their own as if they are an ireland, they do away with the fact that No knowledge is lost nd that is when u will see them not talking to others.... Mr/Miss Know all... As a matter of fact open ursef to other students around you, Rub minds concerning ur courses that will help a lot in an exam.....

trying to catch two birds at a time e.g. Reading and listening to music at the same time, chatting on social media, watching movies, how possible?
Eventually he/she would lose out on both sides. So if you must study, ensure that you`re well healthy, sound in mind and also ur full attention should be focused on ur engagement.

U ar describing a perfect scenario that isn't workable in Nigeria
why did you opined that it isn`t workable in Nigeria? Except the fact that everywhere in Nigeria is noisy with lots of activities and distractions which also can`t be opined for areas like the Government Reserved Area (GRA) and other exclusive residential areas.
You see, my friend, the kind of area you live in or the level of discipline of the family, one comes from influences the level of one`s discipline towards how he/she faces life challenges or does things generally. Or you have ur reasons of which i would be glad you`d let out.
Re: 6 Reasons Why Some Students Study Very Hard But Still Fail Exams by Nobody: 2:24pm On May 27, 2015
I never read beyond 10Pm.
I never read in the class rooms.

I never read more than four hours at stretch.
I slept or rest whenever I felt like.

I valued lectures, so I go early, sit in front, pay attention and made notes.

In summary, it is the quality of reading and not the quantity.

Everyone should find what goes for them.

It is a situation many people can relate to especially, students. However, I also add that the home can make or mar a student. It is very difficult for a child or student who is not been cared for at home, to excel in academics.
The support a person gets from the immediate family can really go a long way in his or her life.

I totally agree with you.

Re: 6 Reasons Why Some Students Study Very Hard But Still Fail Exams by Nobody: 2:27pm On May 27, 2015
How about me? undecided

I never read at all and still failed all the time? My entire promotion from primary 1- 5 was on trial.. because teachers where always tired of seeing my face in the same class for 3 years or more each time.

I was the reason they created the phrase "last but not the least" men I was a triple olodo

D part where u wrote

Well healthy, full attention & sound in mind appear 2 describe a perfect situation

Another tangible reason why students read like mad and still fail is 'SADDIST LECTURERS'. They discourage students from d onset by making statement like: A is for God, Bis for me C is for the most intelligent and shits like dat

You are just so on POINT!!! To add; the care might needed might not be financial/material,although they are necessary but one needs psychological and emotional support to succeed in every aspect of life's endeavours. If you you can not get that from your biological family, you look out for people who value and appreciate you,who are willing to give you support both moral and otherwise, i think thats the real concept of FAMILY.

The mistake most students make both those that study hard and those that put less effort is that they fail to balance their social activities with their education... When its is time to play you play and when it is time to study you give all you have to it. As for me I am a final year Mathematical sci. student and even if I end up getting a poor result this semester I will end up with nothing less than 2-1 .... I party, play football, hangout with ma peeps but when its time for me to read I give it all I have got in me.... The other mistake I think many people make is that they don't know how to answer university question, so to solve this issue I advice them to meet somebody that makes A's and ask him how he answers his exam questions... You might read hard but what your are giving the lecturer is not enuf, you give him what he taut u and what you know.... Making A's is simple you just have to believe and make yourself an A person.... I hope my little advice will help you improve ya Grades and Like I said earlier I WORK hard and PLAY and that's how I roll...


Exactly, when I'm doing exams, people are always asking why I'm so relaxed. So because I'm doing exams, I should act like I'm mourning? Anyway, I make sure to learn when studying, I never memorize. That way, it sticks for life.
