Get the first class first, then speak what ever rubbish you will like.
Do not say something that its only advantage is to demoralize hardworking brothers.
To some people, this post is a life changer, so why demoralize them?

You're right tho but I kind of frown at people that make it Look like as student who has first class was way more serious and tactical about studying. It never was the case, there are a lot of nice scholar out there. Although anyone who works hard as to me should be able to obtain a 2,1.Students should be encouraged to obtain more marks in any courses they encounter semester by semester. Making a first class the pointer goal isn't worth it.
There are some guys in final year who would never make first class even with a 5.0GP and I know they are quick to dispose this post. I am saying this because I was like the OP who was singing first class to my Junior colleagues buh later realize that most of them frawn at me each time because some have flopped in year 1 and 2 and some are struggling with carry-overs. when I change my strategy of giving advice on how to tackle specific problems like "forget your misery", "It is a new semester to change and a new Chance", "You past grade don't judge your today performance". I began to see result and people began to find interest.

In conclusion, I feel this post is encouraging only to fresh students and sophomore student. It would become more useful if it title was rename to tell student how to achieve a better grade each semester or session whether they had previously performed woefully or amazingly.

i have a wingman(friend) he's currently on 1.35 CGPA and we are in our penultimate year (I.T) please whats the possibility of him graduating with atleast second class lower division

Thanks for this awesome motivation and insight bro.you actually made my day.

Nice write up. God bless you brother for this. more wisdom in Jesus name.

Hey,forget first class in tbis country except your parents are well to do. You must have read about first class students that the institution they graduated from cannnot employ them,their states cannot do otherwise nor friends and family. They result in scouting and begging for jobs after attaining that grade.

Ask those graduates seeking for jobs,the only regret they have is that, they lack entrepreneurship skills. No skill is bad,you just have to make it your passion,be good at what you do and hope to start something bigger. When I see those guys fighting over public and private schools,I wonder if the are going to different labour market.

One of lecturer once said,you don't need to.be brainy to have first class,just be smart because the moment you understand your lecturer,the very moment you have passed his exams.

I'm not saying,first class is bad but since the labour market is the ultimate goal,why not make first class in entrepreneurial skills and see which is worthwhile after school.

rawpadgin:
u guys are just ignoring the "awesome piece" i wrote @ the beginning of my comment.

If i wasn't in support of what the op wrote i wouldn't have acknowledged it. I wasn't trying to discourage anybody just stating the obvious truth

Bro sorry 4 ignoring that. my replies was discussing on your second part of your post. I get your angle but at some point it isn't worth mentioning the odd.
I didn't like the OP post well enough too, he was ranting first class as if they define a hardworking student, try as much as you can to advice young ones that their only hope is to succeed and the odds are not worth considering no matter what it takes, only give them a realistic definition of what success is, so they don't misplace priority like the OP.
I see you are talking about reality but we never might know this reality might change so soon.

The place I stand with you is that your Idea help students to reform their desire to have first class for the right reasons and helps student know what reality is like and help them get there priority right e.g student should read to understand so as to solve society and personal problems not read to pass exams in hope of getting good Job(which sadly is not dependable anymore).
I hope I have been able to point the advantages and the disadvantages. farewell

Both are worth it. The first class graduate that's jobless is just a step away from getting a good paying job.

So as the third class that is connected. Remember,most of our govs are either diploma holders or SSCE (Aregbesola).

Our first class that cannot solve problem in their country,is that one first class our graduate na wash.

Bro forget the 2,2 possibility and whatsoever. let him concentrate on this final year and work like never before, he should stop his bad habits and lazy attitude.
let him set goal(finish reading all my course very well before exam and revised properly during exam peeiods) and achieve them.
He should employ new strategy e.g reading in silence places, reading at night, meet people for specific explanation, take good notes, solve previous year questions etc and lastly commit all his work to God. Don't start putting the "is there a possibility thought in your head as if you are the one that would mark his result".

But if you're hell bent on knowing this here is the formula for most schools GP calculator
(1.35)(0.6)+gp4(0.4) = 2,5
make gp4 subject of formula.which should be 4,225.
Let's say your friend need at least 4.3GP

Note: Your school might defer, please me your course adviser or more experience students

Do your best and leave the rest to God.

Having first class doesn't guarantee you anything in life. The daura man Buhari doesn't even have a pass yet Professor Adewole, Prof itse sagay bows before him.
Likewise other profs, Bill Gates doesn't have a first class yet he's the richest man in the world.
Aint talking anyone out of first class, but whats the point in having first class and you end up working for someone who doesn't even have a cert.
Develop yourself as an individual rather than chase after academic excellence besides i've come to discover most of those who chase after academic excellence always end up building another mans dreams cos thats what the school has programmed them to do. They spend so much time pursuing academic excellence when that time and energy could be channeled into developing themselves as great minds with intellects

...


The last I checked , Prof. Adewole and Prof. Itself sagay are contented and rich. The "Prof" and " First Class" have taken them to the peak of life and still soaring higher.

Dr. Maikanti Baru and Dr. Ibe kachikwu heading the petroleum sector are product of first class and they are doing well.

Keep quiet. First class will take you somewhere though I have 2.1

Finally,we get to read reasonable post this week.

Too many "doll" stories on the front page.

Bro, your piece is really encouraging. I am also a law student like you. I'm in my final year with a CGPA of 4.49....any advice for me. I feel scared and discouraged beingn so close to 1st class.

First class is good but be ready to solve maths & stats despite your law background in the market. HR's take a close look at them,they think they ought to know everything not putting into consideration the course. My brother,I struggle to run away from it because of my experience before Bsc. I did get close though (4.47),I still smile that I didn't achieve it.

Let me tell you a story,my HOD in my ppa had 2.2,mphil grade in Msc and currently on her Phd. There was this lady that had first class from a college of education affliated to UI,their cert states UI so,she claims UI. The woman will bombared her with work even the one outside her specialisation,the lady wondered why all these,I said,lets check her class of degree. Lo and behold,we realiased the disparity was given her headache and she was trying to test her ability in a areas. One day,we submitted our application for retainment,she saw the lady graduated from an affliated schl. Since then,she had this hatred for the lady that before completion of nysc,she redeployed to another dept.

So,be ready to defend your class of grade at all times. In writing,speaking and other forms because they will judge and monk you due to your class of degree,they believe you should not make mistakes especially in writing.

First class is really/solely not about being brilliant but it shows how smart you are.

who God don bless he don bless. if God no give u brain if u like be determine or work hard like mad no first class for you

thanks op
am on my way to school now (fresh man) and with this piece I have made up my mind to be on first class even though I Was told its not easy in FUTMx

But first class is not the only grade for successful student.

It is not hard either

show me a proof or send me a reference for your statement. Except one is mentally unstable, first class is achievable under normal circumstances.

But do i still have the chance if i didnt do very well only in my first semester year1?

Just a little more study and you would have realized that the richest man in the world is currently Jeff Bezos. A first class student would ace that!

Insights like this are worthy to hit front page and should be retained in front page for atleast 1week.

Op, you have touched the two most important aspects of it: decision and backing it up with a painstaking action and commitment.

My personal experience :
Once you make up your mind for it, see it as a goal and let it remain fresh in your mind through out your days in school. Secondly, chose a course you are most able, talented and one you have flair for. Passion is the driving force behind a sustained hardwork.

Ensure you define your threshold score in each course /subject. In making this, make provision for allowance to accommodate uncertainties. For instance, if 70 and above is "A" grade, then you can scale yours to 80. Don't ever work with 70 score borderline. Apportion this to tests, assignments and exams.

Enlist all your courses and assign grades to them at the beginning of every semester. And consequently work with it. Don't ever resume any semester without doing three things.

Consult other "materials" besides the classroom work especially on areas you are not yet grounded. When studying, make relevant jotting /notes. They are always helpful during revision.

Try as much as possible not to miss lectures.
Identify with bright minds in your department, those in your level and those ahead of you.

In the classroom, be visible, and be attentive. Make your notes in your own language while lecture is delivered. Ones notes are easily comprehended and aids in faster assimilation.

Never be too quick to answer questions when thrown up by Lecturer in the class. Before you answer, ensure it's a question most people don't know and articulate your points brilliantly. Distinguish your self before the lecture among your peers. This makes your Lecturer to identify you even when marking your scripts. But, never exude pomposity. Be gentle and humble.

Before exams, lay your hands in past questions and solve the questions. If possible, teach your inner colleagues because in the process of doing so, you master the approach and steps more.

During exam or written tests, ensure you start from questions you know very well and explain in details. Creating a good impression in the beginning forces the Lecturer to release your due marks even in subsequent answers. Be time conscious while answering questions.

Start early enough. Don't start when it's already late.

Learn some skills especially during your IT or immediately after graduation or during NYSC. Don't rely on your good certificate.

Good certificate is good, but great skill is awesome.

Finally, understand the fact there is an invisible being, without whom, you can do nothing. Acknowledge him in all your ways and all your plans.

It worked for me. I am sure it will work for you too if you apply them correctly.

Getting a first class is quite easy. Hardwork matters but you also need to have a good brain

with sadist in our public school system ist class is like passing thru Libya to Europe...nothin special dee this article is not totally insictful.....sm dept in sm schools no ist class for over thirty years are u saying students are not hardworking enough abeg make ina pack well

Just a little more study and you would have realized that the richest man in the world is currently Jeff Bezos. A first class student would ace that!

Bezos was the richest man some 6/7 months ago but currently Bill gates is the worlds richest man with an estimated networth of $86B while bezos is currently 3rd according to forbes http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/ Perhaps if you had done more research and acquire more knowledge rather than just study you wouldn't have been misinformed. Clearly you are lacking in information and no wonder most first class graduates are just academically brilliant but outside of academics they lack the required intelligence to excel and suceed in life

Next time please spend an extra minute looking at the site to save you some embarrassment. The same site has 2017 and real time ranking.
I clicked on the real time ranking and voila it shows Jeff Bezos https://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/#version:realtime. I am not competing with you on who is right, I am only pointing out an obvious mistake. Simply say thank you and move on.
