Please fellow nairalanders I need help. I got a result I never bargained for in my year one, I'm a student of chemical engineering in Unizik, after my mat101 exam I was filled with fear because I didn't write well which was all my fault, though I read but I was overconfidence that year one is not that difficult only to meet the shock of my life in my exams.
Now the results have started coming out with FEG101 and MaT101. I just checked mine expecting to see at least B in FEG101 only to see FEG101 E and MAT101 F and these are 2 and 3 credit loads respectively.
As it stand now I have not been myself, I vowed to myself to leave this school with at least 2.1but now it's as if that plan has been shattered, I feel I have disappointed myself and my family, I couldn't imagined starting badly like this, I feel ashamed and confused, I have been thinking on what to do to correct this mess..
Please nairalanders, can I still get a good grade? If yes what should I do? I need your advice, I can't afford to leave this school with anything less than 2.1.
The FEG result is still a mystery to me because I wrote very well, seeing this kinda results have put fear in me about those not yet out..
If you had similar experience and later graduated well please tell me how you did it. I'm ready to correct my mistakes...thank you and God bless you

∆ I will not tell you a long story.

A friend of mine finished his 100level with 1.5 CGPA and still graduated with a strong 2.1.
You know what that means? Step up your hardwork.



I'm outta here! ∆

This shouldn't get you scared, it should motivate you to work harder. You still have about 9 semesters left out of 10, so it's not too late... Try to identify where mistakes had been made and try to work on them.Try to put in more effort in your studies and I believe you can do it.

Thank you sir

You're welcome.

Chai.too bad. I was thinking by now I should have gotten enough advice based on experience, to think I hold this forum in high esteem when it comes to information and encouragement makes matters worse.
Imagine, this thread has 53views already with only two persons commenting..
Not that those that commented didn't comment well but I still need more based on experience please. It's as if the world is falling apart for me, I'm yet to believe this result, just imagining the damage this has caused to my CGP..

As long as It's mathematically possible, you can still graduate with your desired grade....

God bless

You can't expect everyone to come here and be saying the exact same thing.
Read harder. Since it's just your first semester, you still have hope. The thing is, the second semester WILL be much harder, so you're going to need to put effort beyond what you imagined putting before seeing my post.
Aim for a 5.0 GPA. It's not impossible to get. Read EFFECTIVELY. If you haven't covered your scheme the day before an exam, you can easily forfeit your sleep. Keep in mind that during your holiday, you can sleep all you want, so if getting an A means having no sleep, be prepared to pull an all-nighter.
Don't wait till tests or exams before you read. In all you do, ensure you maintain FOCUS on your goal for the semester and you'll make it.

hi, are you in Unizik?

I'm not

Hi, let me tell you a story, while in school I had a friend who started with a very low 2:2, almost on a third class but he eventually graduated with a very high 2:1. He did this after moving with myself and my friends. The truth is, 100 level and 200 level are the best times to define your grades. In these years your results can increase rapidly and they can also decrease rapidly. So do not lose hope and there is still so much that can be done.

What you honestly need is this:

1. Work extremely hard and avoid anything less than a C. Also limit the number of C's you have.

2. Prioritize courses with higher units over courses with lower units. The biggest mistake you can make is getting a C in a 3 or 4 unit course and A in a 1 Unit course.

3. Change your friends and move with students doing well, it greatly influences you. I graduated with a first class and I must say my friends were my saving grace. I didn't start with a first class.

4. Glance through your notes after every class and try to find out what the people who got high scores on those exams you failed wrote. Study how they answered questions as different lecturers have different things they are looking for.
There is an amazing and detailed article here that can help you graduate with a first class or at least a 2:1 in Nigeria, if you started badly. This is the link: http://mobizone.ng/graduate-21-first-class-bad-start/
