Jelo4kul: Well most of what he said is true. In UNN, getting a first class is just to know your onions. There is a site that gets the past questions and solutions to the past questions that most First class graduates make use of. Once you know the site, you are in for your first class.

For me, it's
1. write notes, have every material complete
2. Read
3. Read again, not a must you will understand, just be able to remember 95% of what you read.
4. Read, cram the ones that refused to enter.
When you do these, you will make first class. Even if you don't make it, you'd be close. |

I,8, 10, and 13 are the only things you need. Especially number 10, very very important from experience. When I was in school, the first class stuents had a clique, we were regularly close to the lecturers and got wind of tests, assignments and AOC before the rest of the class and it helped us immeasurably. Sometimes, we don't even tell the rest of the class about many of the AOC. And we were invited to mark examinations papers of our class regularly, so you can ofcourse understand what that means. |

OmoDavido: 1. Never look down on lectures. Always attend all classes! (ignore tutorials if possible, they mostly don't help atimes)
Work with whatever you are taught in class by your lecturers only.
Tutorial centers tend to go outside the course outline mostly, but you must no that the exams questions wont be set by the tutorial centers but by your lecturers.
2. Read, Read, Read!!!
3. Run away from girls/guys that have nothing to offer you academically.
4. Remember God/Allah
Thank you for your feedback. This is a simple summary of the article. |

youngstarlit: It is the dream of every student to graduate with first class honour , but only few have been able to achieve this. Is it about the pride in saying, "I graduated with first class" or the great demand for first class graduates in the labour market? Is it about making your parent proud or because of other reasons? Whatever your reason might be, you are about to know the secrets of first class students . ❌ the best way to graduate with distinction is either you are HOC or have the money to block your way out.. Stop deceiving this people say the truth first of all, ask yourself if you really want to graduate with first class. If your answer is yes, you are one step ahead. Secondly, ask yourself, Can I graduate with first class? . If your answer is yes, you are two steps ahead. That is the spirit you need. The final and most important question is "How do I graduate with first class?" , which is the question that gave birth to this article. So, let's answer the question, "How to graduate with first class" .
1. DEVELOP A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD If you make God number one in your agenda, he will make you number one. While you are on campus, you will faced with different crises(physically and sometimes spiritually). The only solution is to pray to God Almighty.
2. SET A SMART GOAL You have to set a goal before you can achieve it. Your target goal must be Smart, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely(SMART). At the beginning of each academic session, choose the scores and grades you wish to have in all your courses and write it down. You can't possible make a first class when your target goal is to graduate with a second class. So, get your goals right and make it smart.
3. STAY FOCUSED Making the decision, "I want to graduate with first class" Is quite easy to say. Keeping the dream alive is the difficult one. When you face crises on campus, don't despair and keep your head straight up. Remain focused and determined towards achieving your goal(To graduate with first class).
It is very certain that a lot of things will want to distract and discourage you, but you have to remain focused and determined. That is the spirit you need to graduate with first class.
4. USE YOUR TIME THE RIGHT WAY If you want to graduate with first class in school, you have to manage your time effectively. Know how to use your time the right way. Do not place anything above your academic works. Studies first, then others follow. Don't waste your time on social activities.
5. ATTEND CLASSES, PRACTICALS AND TUTORIALS If you are willing to graduate with first class, you must not take this point lightly. Strive to attend all lectures and practicals, join study tutorials and discuss academic works with mates. Don't take any of your academic work with levity. When doing this, ensure you are punctual. There is no class that is not important, you will learn at least one new thing in every lecture.
You will also have the opportunity to ask questions directly from lecturers and get first-class answer. Do you even know that lecturers ask questions that will come out of examination during lectures? Yes, they do. If you are wise, that is an expo for you.
6. BE AHEAD OF OTHERS Who is a first class graduate? A graduate among other graduates that is ahead of others academically based on his/her report. So, if you want to become a first class graduate, you have to be ahead of others. Read ahead of others, read ahead of your examination, read ahead of your lecturers, read ahead of your mates. You want to be a first class graduate, so you must be ahead.
7. DISCOVER YOURSELF What works for Paul might not work for Peter. While some students cram for examination to become first class graduate, cramming for examination might not work you. Know yourself, be yourself. Discover your most effective study time, discover your most effective study method, know your strengths and weaknesses. Work on these discoveries and use them the right way.
8. KNOW YOUR LECTURERS AND YOUR SCHOOL Each school has its own way of conduct, and also each lecturer has his/her own system. One man's food is another man's poison. While some lecturers like students that write additional information in examination and give them bonus marks, other lecturers don't like it and remove marks. How do you know which lecturer like this and which lecturer hate that? Simple..... Through observation, asking questions in class, answering questions in class and by asking your seniors in school, you'll know each lecturer and what their expectations are.
9. DEVELOP THE RIGHT ATTITUDE You know what? You can't graduate with first class when you don't behave like one. You will hear your mates and seniors saying "Nobody has ever passed the course of this lecturer", "Nobody can get an A in this course", and so on. You have to develop the right attitude and say to yourself, "Yes, I can do it". Don't follow what the crowd say, majority can be wrong sometimes. Neglect all negative thoughts and develop a positive attitude.
10. ASSOCIATE WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE Show me your friends and I'll tell you............... what you'll graduate with. Yes, the type of people you associate with will determine whether you will pass or fail. If you want to graduate with first, work with people of the same thought, mindset and are also hardworking. If you are brilliant, associate with brilliant students. If you are an average students, associate with above average students. Walk with students that will influence your life positively.
11. SEEK HELP Nobody has been created perfectly well, you have to understand that. Always seek help with your academic works where needed. If you don't understand a course or assignment, seek the help of your lecturer or seniors to explain to you. Even when you know it, seek help on it. You'll definitely gain another knowledge.
12. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PAST QUESTIONS Most lecturers don't have the time to prepare examination questions, they usually have a lot to do. As a result, they bring out majority of their questions from past questions. Go to your seniors, ask them for past questions and solve them. This is another expo you need to pass your examination and graduate with a first class.
13. TAKE DOWN CORRECT AND COMPREHENSIVE NOTES When you attend lectures, make sure you take down correct notes directly from your lecturers and jot down every point. Don't depend on the note you'll copy from your mates, do you know whether he/she has written down the right note. That is why you need to right down notes by yourself, you are rest assured that you are reading the right note.
14. DEVELOP A PERSONAL INTEREST IN YOUR COURSE If you don't develop interest in your course, you won't enjoy it while studying for examination. When you don't enjoy your study time, your study becomes ineffective. No matter the nature of your course, you need to develop personal interest in it.
15.BE DISCIPLINED AND DILIGENT It is impossible to follow all the points mentioned above if you are not disciplined and diligent. If you really want to be a first class student, you must build the act of discipline and diligence. Always control yourself and provide some set of rules you want to follow while you are on your way to graduate with first class.

Went in with hopes of first class.

I know the likes of yomi007k and defaramade could have made 1st class if they hadn't opted for one tedious course like that. |

For me the most important tip is to know how each course is graded. Know what percentage each assignment or exam carries towards the overall mark so you know where to pay special focus
And for your exams, know the style of questions. Are the questions more of writing, multiple choice, mathematical (for numeric courses) so you are not busy cramming definition in a course where you will be solving numbers all through
Attend every single class. And takw note of any hint the lecturer drops. He sets the question so he knows where the focus is.
These are what worked for me |
