chika4realike:The proper thing to do is to go to someone that knows it to teach you. That's the method I use. In my class there's this guy that is very intelligent, once I read and don't understand I take it to him to help me out. |

my own piece of advice though it came late. why not go for a deliverance cos it might be a spiritual problem let me share a story with you. I had a seat mate then who copied almost every answers from my sheet during exam,I thought I was helping her but at a point I became worried because I know she reads more than I.she could read from morning to night .her problem was that once she enters hall,everything will jux vanish. she sought for help and through the help of a pastor God delivered her. God is your major solution.ask him for the spirit of understanding to understand the question paper and spirit of retentive memory in order to remember all that you have read. I know this will help.Goodluck |

First of all i will advice u try to know ur prime time. Every individual has prime time, prime time is wen u easily read and understand, dont read because others are reading, and choose ur venue, library is a place to read but definitely not everyone that read at d library understand what they read. Back in my days, i see library as a kind of eyes service arrangement and as such, it hardly worked for me so i preferred a more nature place like under a tree and possible void of people. Finally, make some good friends with similar goal as urs and do group discussion, it is easy to remember things u discussed with ur friends when questions pop up during d examination than remembering things u seems to have learnt under pressure to get certain grade. More so examination to me, start from day 1 of every semester meaning that u must take everythin serious from day one, dis include buying ur text book at most within d first three weeks |

Am sure u do not read to understand. U read looking at your books but not understanding wht u read. Get a reading partner. Join academic discussion groups. Discuss what u ve read and ask questions where u do not understand. Read and jot notes Jot key lines and summarize wht ever u read Keep phones and other distraction away Read in quiet places. Focus. Pay attention. Read wit ur heart understand wit ur head. Eat plenty of fish. .... Fish oil and fish meal helps to improve memory. Eat lyte don't eat heavy. Else u get tired and lazy and ur attention or concentration will be poor. Heavy food can make u sleep off while reading. socializes with brilliant people. People who are academically better than you. Trust me you will learn something from them. Don't waste your night time sleeping. Read mostly at night. Successes' are planned at night and achievements are counted at daytime. Even witches plan and carry out their act at night. In my time i excelled academically because i followed these steps. I left university wit a CGPA of 4.02 and i was highly celebrated by my colleagues and lecturers. I was 4th best. Before a new topic is taught in class, i would ve read and researched widely on the topic so that it doesn't appear strange and difficult for me to understand in class. This move really helped me excel. Lastly. If u eventually gain knowledge don't be selfish wit it. Whatever you ve upstairs Pour it out. Teach others. Die empty. Dnt die wit knowledge. 2 Likes |

chika4realike: 1. Reduce your reading time from 6-8 hours to 2-3 hrs active reading daily, do not miss out anyday. 2. Develop a reading plan for your courses , and allocate time according to weight/course units. e.g chm 101 5-7am(mondays) chm 102 (6-7am tuesdays) e.t.c 3. after reading a topic , develop questions on your own, and get a reading note where you answer it 4. Get lots and lots and lots of dept exam past questions for your courses and ensure you solve questions relating to topics you have read in your reading note. 5. Ask questions /academic help from the brilliant chaps you have identified in your class. 1 Like |

Re: Pls I Need Help In My Studying by pompido: 9:45pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
Quite a lot of people have given sound advice on your issue and I am of the opinion that you take a good look at the cogent ones, do a self evaluation and apply those points that are best fit for your person. I had issues with my grades in the first 2 years of my 5 years engineering course and I will try and break it down. My first year produced a cumulative CGPA of below 3.0 and i realized that my failure was due to my instability in terms of accommodation (most people never really understand how much one loses to commuting distances to school everyday), naivety of a fresher (thinking i would simply do well considering i did well in my secondary school studies) and inadequate studying. My second year was a bit better as my CGPA rose to above 3.0. I attributed this slight improvement to having a proper hostel and a lot of reading (day and night burning the academic candles literally). This slight improvement wasn't going to cut it for me as I had assumed I would graduate with a 1st class easily. Well, that was out of the window at the end of my second year despite having one of the best students in my class as room mate and assistant whenever i had issues (he was actually the best mathematical mind in the class). In my third year, i did a complete evaluation of myself,looked at my CGPA and the CGPA structure. I set a target of what I needed to score per semester to get me to my target of not just a 2:1 but a particular CGPA that will allow me apply for scholarships when applying for masters program in the future. I realized that a paradigm shift needed to happen, things needed to change with my spiritual, social and academic life, so i began to follow a plan: a. I stopped attending church on sundays and whatever fellowship was slated for saturdays. b. I stopped doing any serious reading on weekdays or at nights c. I started participating in sporting activities d. I selected a good fellowship that only holds on weekdays e. I actually stepped up on my social life (Female hostel, parties, award nights, committees etc) .....and finally, i would use try never to miss lectures and always take notes. I would spend my weekday evenings updating lecture notes and reading materials, separating my notes, past questions and materials into study days. I dedicated the whole of Saturdays and Sundays to just my studies. I would wake up as early as 5am, pack a few munchies and head to the most remote lecture halls set my study target for the day before me and take all the time i need to digest all. I would take walk breaks and even siesta there. I had a different jotting note for each course where i jotted all points in my own words and short forms which is the only material i refer to for exams . Apart from my personal target, I also had my brother on my neck as he was always calling me only to tell me not to come home without a 2:1. This also helped me focus but i also always prayed for divine wisdom, knowledge, understanding, retentive memory and the spirit of excellence from God. This is just something i do and believe in, different strokes for different folks. I never scored a GPA below 4.0 till i graduated and had over 4.6 GPAs in my final semesters. Truth is no one is after you from your village, you are not also quite capable of extraordinary things academically once you get the right plan. All the best! 3 Likes |

Best approach to this , is to ensure you work with past questions (most of the questions are repeated by lecturers no lecturer drafts questions from the moon, take all your assignments very seriously , attendance should be 100 percent and lastly study your lecturers..some like open book exams , some like you dropping it for them word for word , figure for figure... I know of a lecturer back then who will prefer you solve your equations without approximating...if the answer is 7.99..u r correct and if you make it 8.0 you are dead wrong... Dont take too much courses you cant handle..forget abt elective couses except now that you need to boost your gp..which is rather too late as gp moves slowly from 3rd yr for a 4yr course... Above all speak to God |

ukandi1:yes! I also forgot to mention dat ur friends are 1 of the important things in ur life especially in learning environments.. u need to move close or even more closer to good students in ur class...be sincere In friendship with them...like them. and let them like u too.. tell them ur problem and mingle with them... in school its common to see someome leave his own hostel or lodge to be with another person..it's all because of the benefits.... all thanks to Simeon.. I moved close to him cos I knw he's smarter than me.. though I learnt a bit of womanizing too. note this pls. if u are not really brilliant and ur closest friends are not better than u, chances are that u will NEVER improve..... change ur friends today and ur life will never remain same.. |
