So many ones here are just deceiving you. If it was that easy,why didn't they make 1st class themselves?. Look at it this way. Chelsea started the season badly. It is still mathematically possible for Chelsea to win the league,but that is unrealistic. More realistic is the fact that they can still finish in the top 4. See,aim for a second class upper,then you can know your dream is highly attainable. Most first class graduates had at least a 4.0 in their first year. You even said you had a carry over. That will affect you. A 2.1 is more realistic. And pls avoid carry overs. I had a 2.73 in my first year. I wasn't really serious,I had up to 6 D's and E's combined so you can imagine. I braced up,in my second year,I hit 3.76 and my CGPA rose to 3.2. I hit 3.54 in my 3rd year and my CGPA hit 3.3. I hit 4.13 in my 4th year and my CGPA hit 3.53. I came out with a 2.1. You can do it. Gotta believe. Study hard,pray,ask questions. Hit that strong 2.1...at least 4.0. In your case don't aim too high and then crash when it wasn't attained 6 Likes |

brother aim for the moon and you may settle among the stars... First class is goood, 2.1 is good too.. Even 2.2, main thing is passing law school exam, thats the real test... Though i am not a law student, if you go through my profile, you would notice i opened a similiar thread to yours mid this year.. |

Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah!! I'm currently a 300L returning student of FUT Akure. I offer a five-years degree program which is a norm in any Uni. of Tech. in Nigeria. I enrolled for Urban and Regional Planning to be precise . I had a very low GPA of about 1.05 during my first semester in school, had a CGPA of 1.41 at the end of the session coupled with loads of C.O's. After this terrifying challenge I felt so bad that I made up my mind to sit tight and do things right. I realized that BY WORKING SMART I COULD GREATLY DIMINISH THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS. That'll continue to be my watch word as I proceed in school. It did work a lot and also I never joked with Allah in all I did. Miraculously I had a G.P.A of 4.18 in the first semester and still awaiting my second semester's result which hopefully would be better. |

Chibenze: Although Seun was a dropout, he was a First Class student when he dropped and also led his class or set (Read it on an OAU thread). My succinct advice to OP, is to firstly do away with nay sayers, the never do well, the unlucky and unhappy ( 48 laws of power #16). It could be infectious and contagious, their common words are You can't make a First Class. The lecturer won't give you. Soyinka made a 3rd Class (which he denied). Bill Gates dropped out, forgetting he went to Havard not UST and had one of the highest SAT scores. First Class is not everything ( Only holders have the right to "vomit" such). People don't make First Class in law, as if a certain Kazeem in Uniillorin didn't make one. Francizy literally said everything, study yourself and endeavor to read Saturday Punch Newspaper article on Campus Champion and Jarushub articles. I want to believe you have what it takes.

I do not understand the whole cgpa thing, but i school in Atl, and my first year in college was bad. I was on Academic probation, first year. I had to take summer school, and if i had failed one class, i was getting kicked out of school for a year. I got off Social Network, and i passed. I cant get that high Gpa back but i do not care, 4 years later, which is in 2016, i will be done with Uni. Just focus, play fifa some times when the stress gets too much, dont cram too much, and find a better routine to study. You would be suprise what waking up in the morning, running for three miles will do to you. It clears your mind off a lot and let you think clearly. Work on your assignments before class, that way, you know the right questions to ask your professor. Watch Sports when you can, or whatever clears your mind, when you do not get that assignments or pass that test, dont cry or get mad, go do something you love, for me its soccer, basketball, fifa, nba2k, or surfing Nland. Shut down your computer after 12am, 1am at the most. Get that eight hours of sleep. Last but not the least, Put Whatever you believe in first, for me its God, so i put him forst in all. Goodluck |

Japhet04: If this CGPA is not to be included how will you read If the calculation of your CGPA will start from 200 level how will you read. My advise to you consider yourself reading afresh for new CGPA, don't allowed your current CGPA demoralized you. And you can make first class. Though I did make first class but to be honest with you first class is very easy to achieve (I graduated with CGPA of 4.38). I know of a guy that started with CGPA of 3.5 and graduated with first class CGPA of 4.52. But his subsequent CGPA's were not less than 4.8. So is achievable. And with that same zeal and determination the worst you can get is Second Class Upper Division with CGPA of 4.0 above which is still very good. Let me tell you something it not easy nowadays for first class students to get job, even the lecturing job. The simple reason is that after graduation they feel obsess about their class of degree, while second class upper and lower are busy having certification going for masters etc. Before you realize other people have improved more than them. First class Degree cannot be greater than Masters Degree. |

Rumour has it that whatever Gp you start with, is what you will end with. My personal observation has 99% confirmation on this rumour. Let's see if you will be able to prove this wrong. My advice to you is that you should project. Before the beginning of a new semester, write out the gp you need to have in order to have a real growth in your cgpa. Then distribute the grades among the courses. Write the courses and the grades boldly and place it at a vantage in your room, where you see it everyday. Work towards it and believe its possible. Pray like you don't need to work and work like you don't have to pray. God help you |

It always good to start on a good note coz it like d higher u go d more difficult it seems for u to rise more Dan wher u started from. It might not be so for everybody but it was so for me. I started on a 4.33GPA and trust me I found it difficult to go beyond that not because I was distracted but probabaly of the volumnous of work. And at the end I come out with 3.7CGPA. In ur next semester make sure ur GPA is likke On A 4point at least. Datz d only way ur current GP can increase. Ask ursef the tings u weren't doing during d last session. Ow many hours do u read for? Are u the type dat waits for 3weeks to exam bfore u start going to night class and start jacking? What kind of friends do u keep? Friends dat stab classes? Friends dat get to class late? Or friends dat love sitting at the back(am not saying u shd sit in front, I neva sat in front) do u put efforts to assignments? Wot about Test?(one of the things dat was my major setback was I neva alwys did well in Class Test but always do well in exams. Maybe coz I don't take tests serious. It was a bad habit)tests are like close to 30% plus assignments. Work on these things And pls FLEE from carryova and poor grades! Those devils kills one's CGPA morale I neva had a carryova but I had 2 poor grades in my 200level not because I didn't do well but coz I didn't buy handouts (I was dead broke). D annoying part was dat lecturer took us in abt 2 courses and I thk it was a 3unit course.I narrowly escaped carryova probaly coz d lecturer had a conscience of not giving me a F seeing ow well I performed. And dat was when my CGPA droped to a 4.01. So pls anywher Belle face, follow o. BUT NEVER PAY A LECTURER To PASS! |

Japhet04: This worked for me in school: * Attend lectures religiously and take down notes. * Do ALL assignments well. Copy if you have to. * Read for tests/quizzes as if they were exams. It is easier to get very good grades in tests/quizzes than in exams. * Start reading for exams immediately the timetable comes out. I started with the last courses and progressed to the first courses. This way my brain was fresh when it was time to write the first courses while I just revised my notes when the time to write the later courses came. * When reading, use the course syllabus to guide you on what to read. This way you are able touch every subject the course contains. Also you are able to read extensively on courses the lecturers might have missed or paid little attention to. For subjects missed or treated lightly, I read textbooks from the school library. Doing the above helped me get above 3.5/5.0 GPA every semester. And mind you I played a lot in school, never got carry-overs and only read for tests and exams. |
