This is a brilliant write-up bro


Lemme add a few points


Aside the points the OP has listed, it's paramount to know that the way you answer questions determines your success, to a large extent. In fact, not every student has found the secret to answering questions properly.


However, I got to notice that many students end up with poor grades not because they aren't brilliant or prepared for an exam but because of the way they hop on questions out of ignorance. I used to be a victim of this during the first phase of my programme. I used to hurriedly hop on questions with the belief that, YES I go finish this question cheesy


Please note that when you are asked to DEFINE, you try as much as possible to give a comprehensive definition. You don't just define a term in just two lines and jump to the next question. Try to add some flesh to anything you are asked to define so as to distinguish your definition from that of others


When asked to EXPLAIN a term, explanation talks more than ordinary definition. You have to analytically talk about that term putting your points into paragraphs and in orderly manner; give an example to show that you know what you are explaining, if possible, you could even state the good and bad sides of the term you are asked to explain.

When asked to DISCUSS, it's just like you are trying to convince the reader to subscribe to your points. You could even try to make a contradiction yet stand on your point that you are still on your stand that something is good or bad.


This is the little I think I can come up with

in summary

always go to class

always read before the exam

try to answer questions in class

always do your assignments by yourself

and finally pray

You'll definitely make it except your village people do what they know how to do best grin

At the end of the day. Just do your freaking assignments yourself. It doesn't matter if you get a first class or a pass. It's gonna help you later in life. School teaches you how to structure yourself and achieve goals.

if u attend a very good sec schl you will notice there's no much difference between this and secondary schl life, Only clear diff is that you wont be seeing ur parents or relatives that watch and talk to u, u have to watch and take responsibility for urself and ur future

I'm inclined to agree with you bro. But there's something I got to notice about lecturers. A lecturer who lectures without necessarily looking at his handout at regular intervals always reward students who answer questions in their own understanding with good grades, compared to those ones who look at their handouts every now and then; they might even give you a D if you write anything different from what they have in their handouts.

Dear OP.. ..

You don't read maths.... you STUDY it.. .
Nice write up tho.. . But this life na 40%preparation 60%luck...

I know of some friends that graduated with 2.1 through spying and blocking.... They are working in a very big firm now through recommendation... . Got loads of cash..

Sometimes it's still not all about grades too in naija.. . It's who you know when know who you nor know... Lols..


Gentle reminder.... hey students. Try also to make good connection while still in school.. . It helps after school ooo... Don't just go there and read read read read.. . Iyatagu??

Confirmed! But I cry for my country Naija. In Naija Uni, after applying all these rules of engagement, you may likely come out with 2:2 or third class. Except you join the league of sorting. Those cowards and unserious fellows will excel with good grades. Nigeria education system discourages people to read, except you are guided by your policy. God help us
Re: What It Takes To Graduate With A Good Grade by iamCross(m): 8:14am On Feb 05, 2016
And don't forget to sort when it's important.

u jst hit d nail on d head... Exactly n very true
Re: What It Takes To Graduate With A Good Grade by j1mmy: 11:30am On Feb 05, 2016
What use is the education that Nigerians always talk about

nearly 100 million graduates yet they cannot make candles and matches without some Chinese kids called expatriate doing it for them!

PHD everywhere yet the holders are mentally and socially illiterate.

Farming, vocational and basic technical skills will do better jobs
