I will be in 300 level by next semester in one of the federal university in Nigeria,which will kick of by November this year. My year one gp was poorly 2.9 while my first semester year two gp was just 3.5 though I have not yet see any of my 2nd semester year two results. So can I still make 2.1 after my final year? My course of study is a four years course. Your comments and encouragement will highly be appreciated.

Moderator please do me a favor by moving this thread to the front page because I need words of advice and encouragement from my fellow nairalanders.

Sure you can

Lets do some maths shall we.. 4yr course of study at 25% for each year
2.9 in first yr equals 2.9 * 0.25 = 0.725 of total cgpa
3.5 in second yr first semester shud equal 3.5 * 0.25 * 0.5 = 0.4375
You roughly have 1.1625
To make 3.5 you wud need 2.3375 in the remaining semesters including second semester of 200l
Total of 5 semesters left = 5/8 *100= 62.5 percent left
So 2.3375 / 0.625 = 3.74...

So theoretically from the information you have given and approximately using equal weights per semester you would need at least 3.75 average gpa per semester till you graduate including your year two second semester

To improve your results you need to change your approach to studying..
Afterall you cant expect different results using the same techniques you've been using...

Lets analyse this you're presently on 3.32 and I'd assume you are studying a four year course meaning you've completed 75% of your schooling.. To get what you need to make a first class 3.32 *0.75 + (x * 0.25) = 3.5
Where x is your final year gpa
Means you need to get at least a 4.04 gpa in your final year.. For safety lets just say 4.10
Now this is entirely based on the information you gave
So yes it is very much possible to get a 4.10 in your final year
If half your courses are A's the oda half b's then you have 4.5
Half A's then half C's you have 4.0
So C's is an absolute no no..
I don't know you or your capabilities.. Buh i can only say.. Try to change your approach.. Cos you won't get a different result doing things the same way you have been doing
Try to start studying as early as possible..
Reduce your workload by spacing things out, revise topics as soon as you are taugh, before you read a new topic practice the previous one, for every bew topic practice and revise old topics as far a 3 topics ago.. This form of repetition helps you acclimate yourself to the topica in such a way that they will be part of you... Repetition is key..
You shudnt expect to read and understand something completely at just one read


Also practice re-reading in your mind... This is a good way to cement what you read... E.g..you just finished studying and are about to sleep.. That few minutes before you finally doze off... Try to re-read in your mind.. By that i mean, mentally seeing yourself on a chair, with the book in front of you... This is good practice as you can remember pages where information are easily..

Make you reading fun, there are loads of things i can say, buh these shud suffice for now.. Dont give up.. I need to hear you good news by the end of your final year..

God bless you..
Sky is the starting point for us all

Ur second semester would determine that. If u can make at least 3.5
