[quote author=simonlee post=65386806]Friendly and effective advice:

Soak kolanuts in a mixture of coke and methylated spirits. chew generously before and during your night reading and watch how you will grab and fire during the exam.

From my 100L to my finals now, one more semester for me to graduate, I have never had carryover, why? because I take evey attendance, assignment, lecture and test serious. Don't joke with them and see yourself excel in school.

Abeg make you leave shit 4 the people wey dey carry am, either 5 or 5m ways pesin wey go get carryover go still get am

Good advice. Also note:
1. Do not register for just any elective course- forget the fanciful name, you may just need to audit.
2. Do not keep to yourself- have a study group, most campus fellowship have.
3. Ask questions- not from the lecturers if your colleagues, especially the sharp ones, can give your answer.
4. Read, re-read your notes
5. Pray!!!
