Walking into 200L is like walking into another world. My advice will be to:
- get married to past questions
- find out from your seniors, what textbooks your lecturers use
- study during the holiday
- get a mentor
- utilise YouTube study videos
- and of course, don't miss practical attendance!.

Incase you want more, I've dropped 35 pieces of advice for 200L medics, if you've not seen it, please do. It will help you. cheesy

Good morning house. I had a low cut off point in Jamb this year and want to study medicine. However, I'm considering going for pre degree program in any university that will consider me for admission at the end of the program. I will be happy to hear recommendation of schools from people that successfully passed through pre degree programs and are now admitted to study medicine. This will guide me in the choice of school to pick the forms. I'm based in Abeokuta. Sincere thanks.

Start reading from now especially Gross Anatomy. Once you resume and start lectures, it becomes more difficult.

Also know that time is never enough in Pre-clinicals. Study, study and study.

Know what works best for you and know what your lecturers want. Your classmates might be killing themselves with Keith Moore whereas it might be Chaurasia you like.

Above all, don't be a lone ranger. Join study groups or have classmates you study together with.

Learn from mistakes of your seniors. Ask your seniors questions.

Medical school is not about hard work only, it is about smart work too.

Please i need some advise here. I have a 16year old relation who got 65 aggregate for Uniben Medicine. She is from Edo.

Iam looking at some options for her.

(1) Retake JAMB next year.

(2) Take any 4year science course and try to switch to Medicine in 200Lvl. What 4year science will be appropriate for this?.

(3) If (2) is not possible, complete the 4year course and use it to gain entry to 200Lvl Medicine.

Please urgent replies are needed as she has been crying as the PUTME result was a great shock. There was total chaos in Uniben PUTME this year especially for those that wrote on the first day. Some students even fainted.

(1) should be a great option of course

As for (2), I have no idea how it works in UNIBEN or if it's advisable.

My concern is (3). With the way Nigeria is unstable, I won't advice it at all. Strikes are the order of the day. Medical school is no longer 6 years in most federal universities. It's now a minimum of 7yrs to a standard of 8yrs. 2021 made it 10 years since I started 100L in my first degree and as of now, I'm still in 400L. (Bear it in mind that immediately after my first degree I went for NYSC and immediately after NYSC, I started the MBBS degree). This option (3) should be a LAST LAST option. It should be considered IF and only IF all options have been explored and it's still not working out. It is a HUGE & UNNECESSARY waste of time if there are other options.

If money isn't an issue, I'll advice that she accepts whatever medical course she gets, instead of sitting at home. Then try switching in 200L and try another JAMB next year.

Alternatively, she could try the A'Level route (IJMB) if UNIBEN has something like that. Here, if she gets a particular cut off point, she'll get direct entry admission into 200L MBBS class.

. Which medical course do you suggest?. As for trying another JAMB, is it allowed to chose the same Uniben while she is in Uniben?.

. Did not look at this or JUPEB as it seems it is always to difficult to get to 200Lvl through A/L or JUPEB .

Hello, NL1960. Your sister's score is quite okay, but sadly, that won't give her medicine.

1. Taking jamb next year will depend on what she really wants though, if she's determined to do medicine, then taking jamb again next year is the best option she has.

2. This is a total NO. It's 99% impossible. You can't switch to medicine in Uniben, except maybe you're the VC's relative or maybe you know someone with a high profile. The profile has to be very very high because I know of someone who tried switching even with the kind of connect he had, it still didn't work. Well, I did too, nothing came out. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just telling you how it is.

3. On this note, I'll now have to chip in this piece. Let her change her course NOW. When I say NOW, I mean ASAP. Let her change to a professional course, say Radiography before admission starts, if she's fast enough, she'll be given. Instead of her studying the 4yrs course and hoping to come back, let her do something professional, so that in case, the medicine passion dies along the line, she'll have something reasonable to hold on to. There are nice professional courses she can get with her aggregate range, let her do her findings and change NOW. I know someone it worked for. He applied for medicine but his score wasn't up to, he quickly changed to pharmacy and he got in, though he took jamb again. It can work for her too, if only she's fast enough. Admission now is 50% smartness and 50% intelligence.


Good luck.

I will consider all your suggestions. She got 299 in JAMB this year. Uniben PUTME was chaotic on the first day that Medical Students wrote. That was what affected her. Those scheduled for 12:30pm could not write till around 6pm. Some students fainted while waiting with all the sun blazing with no place to sit and had to be taken away by ambulance.
