I'm In 300 Level With Poor Grades: Advice Needed by Stark22: 7:25pm On Jul 25, 2016
I don't know where to begin but post this with a sad heart.
Before I started my course, I had this feeling that I wasn't meant to be in that department. I was encouraged by friends and family members to continue that I'll have interest later on. My results kept on getting bad but instead of it motivating me to work harder, it changed me entirely and I am doubting myself cos I know how good I was compared to what I keep seeing on my results.

Does fate really prevent progress or what?

300 level sitting on 1.1 something and I don't expect it to improve cos I think my mindset is really affecting it; meaning no matter the amount of reading I do, it won't really work.


I thought a lot of guys and they're doing pretty well, don't know what's wrong.

it's appalling when people who look up to you are doing better than you.

What if I switched departments back then? I believe things wouldn't have gotten to this stage.

I just need counselling from you guys.

it's really serious and I'm sad.

Even people who used me to brag back then would be shocked to find out about my current situation.

I will advice you start afresh. Write ume again and start from 100l. Make sure it's a course that really interests you. If you can't start afresh then I suggest you learn a skill. Something that can fetch you money after school in case the job is not forth coming. It's bad enough for 1st, 2nd class holders not to talk of a 3rd class.

The pressure will come but it's your life not theirs to live. Graduating with a 3rd class and not having a backup plan will give you hypertension o. Unless you will go for post degree. But since you say you don't have any interest in this course I doubt you will be successful in the post degree too.

Seems you're the only one in this section helping out. I'm grateful but I'd like more inputs from other members.

firstly on ur own...there's noting u can do to boost ur result but with GOD... all things are possible..... if u can trust in him...uile be amazed. ...




on the other hand,u should write jamb and choose a course u like...pray to God for ur heart desire to be accomplished, even if ur not given ur course of choice, love what ever ur given and work hard for a gud result..




if u must know..... life isint about what u learnt in skull....its about wat u love doing, what u can do,and how nicely u do wat u do......all the successful businessmen u know...am sure non of them is an employee....they are bosses ...they created their own ideas and they are making it big...but all the same try ur best to a Gud certificate cause its still alittle bit important ... .






in yah next institution, engage ur self in a fellowship.....pray to God and read the word of God at least every day and read ur books with the word every day....uile see the change. in yah life am sure. ..

Thanks sir but I don't know where to draw motivation from again, just like I'm lost in my own world. And you talked about the God factor, I'm beginning to doubt that he cares or exists, do your best and leave the rest to God, they say. What of people that don't come to class, the ones that don't even grab the concept of a particular course, they make it and it's not pride but I know myself.

What if fate is trying to tell me something?

Writing exams without reading for hours was usually sufficient to an extent.

It hurts when people around you see you as intelligent and your world crashes when you can't show for it via exams.

I've never been tagged dull by anyone but that's what I see in myself with what has been happening.

I don't party, I have few friends, I'm usually on my own so I've got enough time for excellence but it's not working sir.

What I can just say is don't let your result in school bring down the potentials in you. I believe you know what you want and what is best for you. Just finish your University first and think better on how maximize your potentials and I'm sure your family members that are putting pressure on you will still hail you. Don't be moved by pressure. Let ''determination" be your watchword. Don't ever give up because of what you're facing now, it should be an opportunity for you to explore and excel.

Meanwhile, just make sure your current result is not worse than what it is now, if you can boost it then "maintain" it.

Same happened to me.. Just start allover! Eventually it's your life and not theirs; who will share in your shame?
Go with something that you have passion for; and when the chips are down.. Passion will spur you to unimaginable levels.

Better still.. School is really not for everyone! You really don't have to join the band wagon. Figure out what works best for you and chart your course in that line.

kinda understand your situation, but then, you need to think deep n hard. whatever you do, let 'u' b d reason, not what people will say. i think you should talk to your parents, preferably your dad esp if you think you wish to start all over.
but if you wish to finish the prog, u need to make u love the course, it's more of a mind thing, don't give up on you, work hard, u may still grad with 2.2

What the F. is grade... a real Man will never be affected by his grades...
Exams only reward people for what they remember,
Life rewards people for there imaginations and hardwork..

.
Bro don't mind those saying you should start again... Finish the sh!t and start working hard... start your own biz... and employ those graduates that claim they have good grade...

What ever your result is, you can make it if you are determined. I have seen 2.1 results and 2.2, but trust me they are nothing to write home about.

To me, i actually prefer 3rd class holders on employment with training. Why because, they work like its their last take and as if the coy belongs to them due to less options, they are risk takers.

Work is routine and anybody can learn if he/she is willing and determined as long as you have the basics.

Dont loose hope, their is an enterprising world for you out there to take home. It might just be your path

1.1 at 300 level? It is finished bro!


Start afresh. Go for a course which you desire and have passion for. Studying for and passing exams in the department will come naturally to you.

start all over again. Contact me when you get the admission, I'll pay your first year tuition , but must be directly to the school and not through you

Choose a more easier discipline to study, it most not be the one with high talking point

School is not for everyone harsh but true. If you still have the zeal to study, I will advise you withdraw from your current school, write another jamb and apply a course you have interest in. Dont let anyone influence you on your choice of course, not even your parent. All the best

This here is your issue. Get rid of that mentality, and learn to hold YOURSELF accountable for your outcomes.

NOT fate, NOT "your enemies," but your lack of adequate academic input. Until you do that, your grades will suffer.

The key to academic success is to study the material with genuine interest in the subject matter. Good grades would come as a bonus.
If you're studying only to pass an exam, you're better off not being in school, as you'll forget it all the second you drop your pen anyway.

i understand ur situation very well. i was in ur shoes. did a course i don't like. now am regreting why i didn't change department during my uni days. if u hate ur course or u find urself stressing to understand it, change course asap. doing a course u don't like is total waste of time n resources.
if u feel its too late, learn a skill dat will serve as a backup n source of lifelyhood for u incase u decide to finish ur current coure.
forget about reading n getting certificate for employment. learning a skill is d next big tin dat will catapult u to d top.
so don't worry about ur poor grade. nigerian educational system is useless.
