The first poster got it all correct, but he FAILS to stress the fact that first class students do not struggle so hard to get A's on any course unlike other students, but thats part of natural brilliancy. One other FACT is that brilliancy can also be acquired or developed it doesn't 'all' emanate naturally So don't think because you 're not naturally brilliant you can't procure first class, it all lies on your hand, Develope it and it will be in you. Nostradamus once said that naturally as a normal man you can not love a mad woman, but the love can be developed when it occurs that heaven must fall, |

it is not by might or by power, but by d spirit says the LORD, attaining first class is not a day job, it s a gradual process one has to start from d first year and also d beginning of every semester. most people believe readin comes in wen u ar preparing for exams and test which is not suppose to be so, a preparation that start from d first day of resumption do help a lot, and dis help to reduce stress wen exams come, above all GOD is the only one dat can help wit success, d only one dat can crown night candle wit first class we only need to trust in HIM and am sure at d end d victory will be ours, AMEN |

The ultimate secrete to graduate with a distinction in a polytechnic is to apply the Crammers Rule, Getting a fast class in a polytechnic is like a horse trying to pass through a the eye of a needle. During my ND days in school most of the student are crammers, they are not current with what is going on in the nation or globally, they can't contribute on current issues, they know nothing but their books. Some of them can't even use the internet, they don't read national dailies, they don't read other materials outside their area of study, they know nothing but their books. Sometimes it also depend on area of interest, for example i had lower credit in business studies from a polytechnic but had distinction in my CCNA exam, now i'm planning to do my HND in yabatech and i plan to graduate with FirstClass 1 Like |

Re: Secrets Of First Class Students? by RentInVi: 4:26pm On Jan 31, 2012 |
This tread is interesting. i think i would like to add my 2 cents. I have almost forgotten i graduated with a First Class, been quite a while. I think the second post on this thread almost spoke my mind. I guess first class candidates do think alike after all. But if i could make a first class, then i believe any one with a 2.1 today could as well. I think i will start by saying i am normally a 2.1 candidate. I should not be a first candidate. I have always been in the top 10 to 15 in my Primary and Secondary school. I only had 7 A's and 1 c in my WAEC result ( i took 8 subjects, avoided languages). Mind you, the A's were not really A1's. But when I got to Univ of Ibadan to study Engineering I was told that first class in Engineering was for the gods. That was the begginning of my motivation. I made it my sole priority to graduate with a first class in UI. Nothing else mattered or so i thought. These are some of the things i did. 1. I prepared for every course from the day the semester began or even before it sef. i got lecture notes of my seniors and always photocopied the relevant text books so i can have my own copy at all times. ( i could not afford to buy text books). i could never understand how people prepare for and pass exams two weeks before the exams. infact i think they are genuises. becos i could never do that. 2. i listened attentively in class. i never sit in front, but i dont sit at the back either. oftern times the Lecturer would say - dont bother about so and so, most people in the class would not even hear that and still go ahead to read those areas. i dont always read all the chapters of the text book. i concentrrate on areas where i believe the questions would come out and leave areas that i dont is important. i dont think its gambling, i think its strategising. it worked for me 99% of the time. there was just this one time i was so shocked by what came out that i got 40 on the dot in that paper. that would have been my first failure. needless to say, i continued with my strategy. 3. i had no time for women, clubbing, parties, or the like. not becuase i was religious/holy or anything but more becos i did not have the money to tag along. spent the little money i had on books and food. Girl friends were too expensive to have . 4. know your reading style. i could never read overnight. i spent five sessions in UI and i never once read overnight for any exam. my reading time was strictly 8pm - 12 midnight . sleep and then resume 5am - 7am. that was what worked for me. i remember those days when we wake up and see people coming back from overnight reading, we all use to envy then but most never came out with good grades. i also could never read in the UI library or even the hostel reading room. My bed was the most comfortable place for me to read and thats where i read all through my stay in UI. 5. Believe in yourself and constantly assume various scenarios of what ifs. what if i score an A here and a B there. what impact would it have on my cgpa 6. your first year is very important. you need to start well, buid on it and also finish strong. I ended my first year with a cgpa of 6.0 and graduated with a cgpa of 6.4 after 5 sessions. 7. on the issue of interest, u must have a minimum intereest in wht you are doing or u wont be motivated to study it. i went to Ui to study petroluem engr but ended up with mechanical engineering. i had no interest in it at the start but i had to generate the interest to survive. 8. Put God in everything. I hope this will motivate someone to graduate with a First Class, and if that be the case, then i would have made a difference in someones life. like i said, if i could do it, then anyone can. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

You can still graduate with a first class if you can produce a few 5.0s semesterly. Why you had a not so high result?...maybe you're not reading your notes the way you should. 1 Like |
