If a particular mode of studying is not yelding result then you have to switch mode and tactics. You could try doing midnight reading, always jot while reading and do a summary. Read the summary over and over again. Have a study group and do interactive studying with questions and answers session. Explore all past questions, lecturers are often lazy in setting new questions. Meet intelligent senior colleagues for solutions to problems and advice. Ask questions and listen attentively, the lecturers usually emphasized on certain questions, some dare you that you will see such questions again. Always for your assignments are practice over and over again. Continuous practice to solutions is most important. Finally, prayer is the key, pray for retentive memory. In school, work the work. It's never too late to mend. God will uplift your CGPA, don't lose hope, work and pray for success. God bless you. 1 Like |

I had the same problem while in school. from 100-400 i never had a 3point. i was always failing, but in my 500level i became a 4pointer ,what did i do, i stopped been a one man gang i made friends with the gurus apart from the material we are giving in class,i made sure i cross check my materials with those of the gurus, the ones i dont have i photocopy. when i read i jot all the key words in tiny letters."bullet" (that is what i read for test and exam). After reading i subject myself to past questions to really test what i read. lastly i ask the gurus things i dont understand. most importantly i pray to Allah before any test or exam. goodluck brother i wish you the very best and try to understand yourself. 1 Like |

chika4realike: Try out the following: Get past questions of abt three yrs Study in groups Check when it's convenient to read and stick to it i.e your retention ability could be determined by the timing and also location, try early hours of about 3am to 5am or late in the evenings. Set questions for yourself after reading each course and answer them without consulting your notes Look up difficult terms in the dictionary Jot while reading Avoid distractions of any sort (phones, noise etc) Lastly ask God for help. Hope that helps good luck. 1 Like |

U need to do something they called persistence reading. How? When u go to lectures each day, u have to read what u are thought that day and even research more for understanding that same day. By weekend u have read all u were thought that week and research more. Repeat the circle the following week and revised and re read the ones of previous week. This approach is very difficult but if a lazy man like me can do it then hard working chaps like u will find it easy. This approach will ensure u are ready before the exam which is ur major problem. Another point is for u to agree u don't know everything and ask for help. My ego almost kill me in my first year. Always ask for help even when u dont need it someone teaching u will not take away anything from u but it will add. As u can learn from others mistake u won't have noticed or discovered studying alone. Get focused reading partner that u can share ideas with select ur friends. People that always encourage u to read more should be ur friend and reduce ur relationship with those photographic brain guys as they will see u overdoing reading. life is different for different folks. Our parent pay the same school fees they don't make the same amount of money and they work different amount of time to make the same amount of money. Our Brian is different hence we need different amount of time to study(working for money) to make the same grade (pay the same school fees) Feel free to contact me. chika4realike: 2 Likes |

A lot of factors could be responsible for your poor grades. I hope my few points will be helpful! They actually worked very well for me back then at the higher institution: Understand yourself: You really need to understand yourself. That's the beginning of success. You must know your limits, strengths and weaknesses. I spent my first year trying to follow the patterns and what works for my room mates instead of what works for me. I had my worse results. The following year, I took time to study myself, and adopted what worked for me. I had my best results; actually had a distinction that year. For instance, I read best upwards 0230 am. Before my self discovery, I used to read from 9 pm after the day's lectures. It didn't work. I change the system and it worked perfectly. Understand the CGPA system better: It's really sad you have spent more than a year in it. Many students never take the time to understand the workings of the grading system. This results in students paying undue attention to courses with lesser credit units while allowing other weightier credit unit courses to suffer. The consequences could be poor grades. Forging the right academic relationships: Almost all my friends at the higher institution were very sound students. Most of them are doing really well today. I had friends who pushed me really hard. We all graduated with very good grades. Your friends matter. How long one reads doesn't actually matter. You just need to understand yourself. Identify what works for you and stick to it. Let others contribute! 4 Likes 1 Share |

@chika4realike i understand your problem.. I would advise you to remove the thought of suicide from your mind coz that might be a very big obstacle. and just as someone has stated, it might be the way you answer questions or the way you read.. here is my tip When you are in the exam hall, before you even open your question papers you should pray to Your God. you cant just go in there without seeking His assistance most of the time, people dont read and understand the instruction. you have to read the instruction, understand it,and apply it. then you can now go on to the questions... make sure you read the whole question,,,, coz u problem might be because you dont read the whole question, you might just read it half way and then think you understand what the question is about, thereby doing the work entirely differently or halfway. You have to read the whole question understand it, ponder over it..... you can even write down some of the points with a pencil, then go over it to be sure before you can re write it with a pen ( this is what i usually do, because I sometimes get bellow my expectation) and then the way you read might also be the problem.. here is what i do and has always worked for me... if its a normal course that i will just read and understand,,, i usually get a pen and a paper, and whatever i know is an important point, i write it down like 10 times. I know it will definitely stick. you should try that out. coz i believe when you read and understand something and then go further to write it down, you would hardly forget.... then if it has to do with calculations, after reading through and understanding, try and solve ALOT of questions not just maybe 10 to 15.. solve loke 20 and above, go on the net, you can get tons of quiz solve them all.. they usually have the answers.if u cant do it online, print it and try them out at your leisure time... when you are used to the questions, u wont have problem when a foreign question that you havent solved.. you can apply this method to all courses! finally, trust in God and be patient 3 Likes |

chika4realike: First things first. Suicide is never an option. It's cowardly and brings nothing but pain and shame for the families involved. Having said that, Guy, I've been down this path of the quintessential olodo. I couldn't remember a damn thing to save my life. Now don't get me wrong. I had short bursts of brilliance in non memory related tasks but my inability to remember was a little too pathetic. That's actually what got me to take a deep dive into cognitive psychology to really understand what's going on beneath my nogging and why I no fit perform. Quite honestly, that was the most rewarding experience of my life. I can share my experience with you and share some prescriptions that worked for me with you offline if you're interested. |

Get a reading partner, you both should have a reading time table. Discuss relevant topics starting with the most difficult ones and ensure that you jot important points. At the end of the discussion, evaluate yourselves either by asking questions verbally on the main points or writing a small test. Also at your spare time or before you sleep go over the main points again. Don't be anxious whle reading and if you realise you're reading without understanding, drop your books and take a walk,relax or do any extra-curricular activity. You shouldn't stay awake althrough the night to your exams. Go to bed early, let's say from 8pm to 4am. Take a cold shower,grab your books and brush through again. One hour to your exams, drop your book and just wait for your papers. Above all, if you're a christian, pray! Make a sacrifice, anything. You can decide to keep away from anything you think that displeases God. Ask the holy spirit for direction, understanding, retentive memory and the ability to reproduce. In the exam hall, read your questions slowly and understand them then start with the ones you know best. As you read your questions jot down points of any answer you remember on your question paper before starting. I wish you goodluck and you'll be in my prayers. Don't forget to get a reading partner, I wish I could help. |

1)jot down what you read,it might be tiring but will yield ripe fruits 2) know the best time for you to read 3) Ensure nothing is bothering you, problems have a way of clouding the mind 4) form images while reading,i guess its called mnemonics or so. 5) Try to use abbreviations,it helps. 6) look for someone to ask you questions after reading. 7) Practice the mirror rule,when you study a defination and cant remember it, get infront of the mirror...and try to capture it...you can even close your eyes to, It surely helps (my secret weapon). I know if you follow the above steps diligently, you will surely testify. |

chika4realike: guy, by God's grace, i am a Ph.D holder in chemistry from Univ Ibadan. By God's grace i am also a holder of B.Eng in chemical engineering from ESUT. Now get this right, whether u are studying pure or industrial chemistry, u need to be taught. U cannot cram chemistry. Reading and jotting just like that does not work. Pnemonics method may help but u need to attend classes and meet those who know more than urself. U need to study past questions and get d pattern of how they come and possible answers. U must try to read d minds of ur lecturers.. Chemistry is easy if u seek to understand but becomes d most difficult course if u try anything else. D foundation till tomoro is an indept understanding of d periodic table. Success man. 1 Like |

My advise is this: 1. Attend all ur class lectures and listen to the lecturer well. Every lecturer gives hints on AOC. Only few students take notice 2. Ensure that your notes both the one igiven by the lecturer and the one you made by yourself can answer the AOC / hints given by your lecturer. 3. Develop your own note in your own handwriting based on your readings and let it go an extra mile than d class note given by ur tescher 4. Use past question papers as well as class tests to gauge yourself in the class.If you dont belong to the first ten, then study with the bests, make copies of their answer sheets n compare with yours. You will see what the teacher is looking for 5. How about your writing? Is it readable. If not improve on it by writing a bit slower nd legibly. 6.Have good revision papers - few pages of A5 containing key points which you can read through in 30-45 min b4 you enter the exam hall. 7. When you are in the exam hall, relax and dont be anxious. When you get your question paper, read the instruction carefully and attend to quetions you know well first. This will reinforce ur confidence. You can now look at others Finally, pray and ask for divine asstce. The race is often not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. I wish you the best |
