Thanks.
For some reason, I can't upload the whole of my reply at a time. I have to make it gradual.
Everyone knows reading for an exam is no child's play at all, most especially when you've got to do it all by yourself and for the UTME, it can be a "taxing task" with no prim rose path. Let me cut to the chase. Before I wrote my UTME and o'level exams, it had never occured to me that I could have such creditable scores as I had. Frankly, however, these weren't achieved by any special ability I have but through some workable philosophies of studying and I'll share some with you.
(1)PLAN, PREPARE AND SET TARGETS
Make preparations for books. If you are writing the next year's UTME, you may consider "essential" or "newschool" science textbooks- they are somewhat comprehensive and easy to understand and I used them. You might as well look out for other textbooks whose authors are the human faces of science
. Make sure your preparations are reasonably timely enough. Don't wait until it's a couple of weeks or days to the exam before you start preparing.

(2)WORK HARD BUT RELAX FOR EASY POWER
It's a good thing to burn the midnight candle
but you know, you can't burn the candle at both ends. Don't "overpress" as it might cause an untimely depletion of your energy. Practically, you can read 4 hrs a day. 2hrs during the day and 2hrs at night. The cumulative result is unimaginable only if it's done rightly.

(3)TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
AND WORK ON IT
This is very much important. You should track your progress not from the viewpoint of the quantity of books you've read but in terms of how much your abilities have improved.
**Exploit UTME-simulating softwares like myschool etc. It's exactly like repeating the exam countless times before the actual exam. The results paints a picture
of what to expect.
past questions and answers are good alternatives. They give a glimpse of what to expect.

(4)PRIORITISE READING OVER OTHER ACTIVITIES PARTICULARLY THE UNPROFITABLE ONES


(5)INCORPORATE READING INTO OTHER ACTIVITIES
Are your days usually hectic and full of activities?
Including reading into a number of these activities is a good option. You can read while relaxing in bed, on the bus, in a taxi or even in the toilet but don't read while bathing in order that you don't destroy your books.

(6)EXPECT THE BEST AND GET IT
There's power in positive thinking. Have an attitude of opstimism. Believe in yourself and have faith in the abilities you've got through hard work.

(7)ULTIMATELY, TRY PRAYER POWER
I don't have to belabour this point. Pray and believe in whatever you will.

I wish I could continue but I'm afraid I can't.

Although these tips may be seemingly conventional, believe me, the results are incredible. You will, in time, discover this if they are applied correctly.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE READING THIS, ESPECIALLY OUR ESTEEMED MEDICS AND ASPIRANTS

I started med school at 28. I have a guy in his late 30s. We have up to sixteen or so guys/ladies in their late 20s and early 30s in my class.

I refered to a couple of textbooks, which I did use, in my last post. You may try them out.
Surely, any textbook can be used in preparing for an exam, so long as it's not encyclopedic. Don't be restricted to a single textbook, since there's a wide variety to choose from.
You may find certain subjects more difficult than others. All you've got to do, however, is to get down to some serious study-involving questions and exercises-with them until you get the knack of it.

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by AndyWare: 8:27pm On Jan 10
Concerning the topic of answering CBT questions I was using myschool.ng but found that there is another website called jambprepacademy.com which is even better.

The difference is that this one was more focused on JAMB and will predict your JAMB score based on your performance in the exams you have taken. It also saves exams you have taken so you can revisit them later, which myschool does not do (unless I am mistaken)

Hi, everyone.
Owing to the current situation, school fees increments have become commonplace across tertiary institutions in the country. In light of this, I surmise that scholarship applications, among others, are somewhat nice plans to secure financial buoyancy for a rather smooth academic journey. How practical or feasible do you think resorting to this is? What other ideas have you on the whole of this? Looking foward to your replies. Thanks

Hello everyone! I'm about to graduate from Human Anatomy Uniport. My GPA would be close to first class, about 4.4something, or at worst 4.2 as my project defence will be at the end of this month.

1. If I apply to the same school I graduated from, would it increase my chances of getting admitted?

2. Can I put awaiting results if my certificate is not out by then?

3. What GPA would I need to have to realistically get in?

4. How many people does uniport normally take for DE to Medicine. Like what's the range.... Between what and what?

5. What's the process like? After I apply for DE through JAMB what next?

6. Is there a chance that they can give me another course like Physiology or Pharmacy if I don't get medicine?

7. What about RSU? They just started their medical school. What do you think about applying there? Can I put first and second choice for DE just like JAMB?

I'm sorry for asking plenty questions. I really appreciate you for your time. Thank you very much.

I hope it is really what you want and your passion? When we say passion. It's something you enjoy doing. That even if you are owed for 3 months as a doctor. You still come to work smiling and not taking out frustration on innocent patients.

A footballer will still joyfully accept paycut or be owed and still smile playing football. I hope you do the same as a doctor grin

Team MBBS or nothing still exists in this 21st century grin. Well-done anyways you try grin

Once again, congratulations, doc.

I'll advise you follow your senior colleagues closely. They're the best source of guidance...those in Year 2 in your school...meet them and find out how they maneuvred through your current class.

Start your work early, and be dedicated. Low times may come, true, but prepare for them and maintain your focus.

Be quick to ask questions whenever you're not sure about anything, be humble, very humble, in fact. Review your past questions, if possible, multiple times before your exams.

Above all, if you believe in God, hold Him closely.

Stay clean, please. Don't get involved in shady businesses.

May God perfect everything for you ajdnyoir colleagues.
