Carry Over Is Ruining My Life Please Help Me by Soakaway: 5:05pm On Jul 07, 2018
I'm typing this with tears filled eyes. I'm 200 Level student of an higher institution located in the south eastern part of Nigeria. I gained admission around August / September 2016 but i couldn't resume same time with my mates because of some financial problems with was later sorted out and I had to resume half way of the semester with almost all quiz already done and just a week to exam. I did all i could do to make sure i avoid carry over but unfortunately for me I had 3 carryovers in my first semester year one and 4 carry overs in my year one second semester.
My 200 level exam came and i could only register one carryover out of the carry over i had in my year one first semester and I did (still hoping it comes out good).
Our 200 first semester results level results was released two days ago and i went to check mine today to my utmost surprise i had 4 carryovers out of 7 of our departmental courses which was released, i couldn't believe what i saw even though i did all i could do to make sure I don't miss quiz or assignments. I wasn't always in school to mark my attendance because of my financial situation to transport my self to school every day and i can't tell someone to mark my attendance for me cos the lecturers are fond of calling each and everyone names one after the other to make sure no one is trying to helping anybody.

I don't want to bore you guys with a long story, as I'm typing to you right now i got
1 outstanding carry over in my year one first semu
1 outstanding carry over in my year one second semester and
4 carry overs in my 200 level first semester

Our 2nd semester exam is starting on Monday and I'm doing everything within my power to make sure i don't disappoint my self one more time.
I can't just imagine the pain my parents are going to feel if they should know what I'm going through right now, I'm dying inside of me.
Please i got two years left, i noticed how good nairalanders are with assisting people with good advices that's the reason I'm tabling my troubles before you guys.

Please i need help with what i can do to graduate same time with my mates, i know it's impossible to make first class and almost impossible to make 2.1 all i need right now is to come out at the same time with my mates with a 2.2 degree.

Forgive my typos please.

Please i can't tolerate insults cos i might end up killing myself this is really killing me.
God bless you all

If I were you, I wouldn't worry much about graduating with my mates... Rather

How to be a wealthy philanthropist to my mates...

You are in Nigeria where it doesn't matter if you have a first class!
While that said, I'm not saying you shouldn't gear up, please do! Be good at what you are studying, at the end it won't be about how hard you can cram and pour to make A's.

Stop totally depending on those parents! There is nothing wrong with doing business alongside your academics.

You need to be flogged, of all things to give you suicidal thoughts, you chose average performance...can you please read about Bill Gates?

I'm an average student.
I'm studying economics i love the country even though I'm not that good with Mathematics.
I actually don't study that much cos i got no text books except for few handouts and I'm an introvert (very shy) i got just few friends that's what is making everything hell for me

mhen as an average student you still suppose to catch up with economics, but i cant judge you and i can understand, have been through it before, but just take it easy, you need to do everything to pass each course, class attendance matters a lot, but you just need to put your mind into it.......... this is the best time to decide because you cant afford to mess up again...

Try to stop complaining and do more studying.

Study your way to the top

I once failed a course and I felt really bad too

Try to do things differently from how you've always done it

Lol, excuse me. My advice for you friend is first, try as much as possible to remove all the pressure and tension in you right now otherwise you might as well not perform well in this forthcoming exams, no offence.

Then as regards your present situation, there are just two tips i would like to give you to add to your reading schedule( hope you already have this ) to help you ace your papers.

1. STUDY EXAM PATTERN FOR EACH COURSE;
This is a lengthy tip and am not much of a writer so simply put, dont just read notes and textbooks when preping for exams, "study the pattern the lecturer employs in setting his/her questions" one way to do this is the use of good ol' PAST QUESTIONS.
A lot of students underestimate this easy yet very effective tip. Questions are always repeated in some cases there are no new questions to set, dont expect the lecturer to tell you this, especially if he/she have been lecturing that course for 5-10 yrs plus.

2. The G-factor:
I know we have a lot of atheist and apostate in here but still as a witness, i cant help but let you know " except the Lord builds the city, they that labor, labor in vain".

The guy above is right.
Study EXTREMELY hard this time around. Among your friends, if you have any exceptionally brilliant one, follow him upandan for the remaining two years. If you don't have a friend like that, then become close to one. You need someone like that to help guide you through the remaining years. Ensure you cover everything you have to cover. And that your girl, she may seem like one of the best things in your life, but don't lose focus in any way because of her.
And that extra year might not be so bad. I hope you won't have to settle for it though.

Wow, that bad?
If you're really serious and display a clear change of mentality, they might be more lenient. That is to say, if you become exceptionally good, good enough to make them feel they won't be wasting that extra year's money.

my broda. i still insist. prepare ur mind for any eventuality of extra year. its not always bad. infact u may need to settle for it especially when even 2.2 want to elude u. moreover, look at ur c/o wey de ground, how will u get the chance to do dem. only if u can struggle extremely hard and i mean extreme.
my advice are learn to study how ur lecturers set their exams, always get past questions at the beginning of every semester and solve, read thru everyday when u get home and put all in God's hands for direction. It is well.
