Am I not ashamed that I graduated with a First Class?
No,i don't think so,it only shows how rotten the System is and I still believe it shall be well.

Don't worry,i will pure my mind comprehensively when I landed a job

It hasn't been easy but being a First Class will give you all the courage you need.

Ray360:

hello bro, How has it encouraged you? It's my prayer you get a job soon, sir. But please, what were the measures you took that stood you out?

Akkord4gov:

Aameen. It encouraged me in the sense that have met a lot of people of high calibre. It is just courage,i go to their offices and tell them"i am a First Class graduate....".They will listen cos they know it isn't easy
Bro,like I said,it can only be good if I write all the measure and my advice after have landed a job that I believe it will be soon

Just know this that First Class isn't only for the genius. I am an average student that failed WAEC and Jamb so many times but the first thing is to "have a dream".
Later bro. God will bless your effort towards achieving your dream

Ray360:

Amen! Thanks for your contribution. I have a dream already which I intend nursing to reality. I appreciate.

Akkord4gov:

I am happy to hear that and I also wish to contribute to making it a reality. "Success is not how successful you are but how many people you contribute to their success". I will follow you now and you may follow back. Will pm you when there is time and I promise we shall achieve it together.
Even to pay you a visit might not be a problem

A typical 9gerian man wld say "WHO 1STCLASS DON HELP 4 DIS COUNTRY?", But d truth is dey r not wrong owing 2 socioeconomic n political situatns in d country, as many 1st class r stl unemployed n trying 2 mk ends meet..
Leaving DAT aside n delving 2 d nitty gritty of dis thread..I'm really enthralled at ur zest n penchant 4 wanting 2 mk 1st class n I wanna commend u 4 DAT...d truth is, thr r no 2 similar principles exuded by First class holders,, my methods might b different 4rm others...
Below r some of d major precepts dat made me had a topnotch result even in an unfavorable environment (one of d worst depts in ma skl)
1) Diligent n assiduous in ur studies: you shld b able 2 work hard n go d extra miles when reading
2) Read based on ur capability
3)Consistency in your studying time-schedule.. If u decide dat u wanna read 7hrs per day, u shld b consistent with it
4) Go to Class regularly cos sometyms some questns DAT comes out in d exam might not b in d material or textbks recommended by d lecturer..
5) Don't be too hauty or supercilious 2 learn from friends coz no man is an island
6)Understand ur lecturers, their marking schemes n their modes of answering questns..some might like d direct n succinct answers while others might prefer d verbose n wordy answers
7) Every Prize comes wif a Price..u wld hv to curtail n harness d tym u spend on social media. Optimize n mk judicious use of ur tym
Cultivate the habit of asking questions in class; whn a questn looks obscure 2 u, u shld b able 2 hv d impetus n courage 2 ask questns 4rm d lecturers.
9)Avoid having problems with ur lecturers. Don't allow ur erudite adroitness 2 becloud ur sense of reasoning n deferent dispositn
10)Try 2 gather materials n start reading evn b4 d beginning of a semester. Try to read ahead of class
11) When others come to u 4 academic assistance, try 2 render help 2 dem cos d more u teach dem, d more u improve n enhance ur knowledge on DAT course..but it shld b done wif moderatn, so dat it won't affect ur own time.
12) Embrace the God-factor n be prayerful cos its not of he dat willeth nor of he dat runneth but its of d Lord dat showeth mercies...

The List is interminable. Just make do with the aforementioned precepts, it wld really help u

There are two things that determine individual's I.Q,hereditary and environment. That answers your question,some are naturally gifted,we call them genius,but I repeat and repeat that an average individual can achieve that feat. I might not have believed that too until I made it. So never have 2nd mind about your dream

It is true,there are a lot of First Class yet to get employed,i myself inclusive,but one day,they will be proud of themselves. Not easy to make a lot of sacrifices to achieve such.

I will create a thread later,the Advantages and Disadvantages of being a First Class graduate

Polymath56:
Inasmuch as I might agree wif u on dat, i wld stl say every1 is naturally gifted/brilliant but d rate of perceptn n assimilatn differs..4 instance, some persons can read 3pages of a text 4 1hr n understand it while some other persons might read n understand d same no of pages for 3hrs..some evn find it very difficult 2 read or comprehend a text/note without d lecturer 1st teaching them or with the aid of a course mate of theirs.
Regardless of all d dissimilarities in d level of perceptn, any of d categories listed above can stl mk 1st class, if he/she is focused, determined n well prepared.
A simple case study can be cited bw messi n Ronaldo..

1.Try to get all the materials/textbooks before the commencement of a new session.
2. Plan your time very well and write it down before leaving your room. E.g. Btw 8am -10am :Lecture, 10-12noon : Personal Reading, 12 - 4pm : Lectures, 4pm to 5pm : Personal reading.
3. Know your ability I.e. Know how, when and where you can assimilate very well. E.g. I dnt always assimilate by going to the school library. I read in a Quiet place. E.g. Very early in the morning before the commencement of the lectures, I do read At the back of the lecture theatre or laboratory or even staircase.
4. Dnt have a fixed place for reading to avoid disturbances.
5. Keep Quiet to learn from your lecturers,dnt argue with ur lecturers, even if you knw the answer to their questions, allow other studnts to answer the questions. Dnt let them notice you, allow your Scores/Grades to do the rest..
6. Try to write down your target scores/grades before the beginning of the semester and try all your possible best to achieve it.
7. Be ready to have many friends but some are enemies of your Progress, Jst Keep praying for them.
8. Do all your assignments and make sure that you submit at the right time.
9. Treat past questions very well, but dnt let your reading be based on past questions.
10. Manage your time very well with social networks. I always off my Data Plans whenever I'm reading.
11. Put God first, be a good Christian/Muslim but dnt allow religious activities of your fellowship to disturb your reading.

Deicide:
Things that mostly fail people in exam is not difficulty but "TIME" esp for science related course. know how to manage ur time, i once got B in a math course cause i didnt finish answering everything and the time was up.

EternalTruth:
scoring "B" is detrimental to a student who aspires for first class bah?
