Finished as the overall best graduating student at Anambra State University, was also the best postgraduate(M.Sc.) student in Microbiology at Unilag (4.92/5.0). Literally, what I did was studying my ass out, I spent lengthy time on my books, didn't have that social life stuff 2 Likes 1 Share |

Like I did in my last semester's exam.. From experience,I think those who make first class are simply intelligent folks who work extremely hard. They deprive themselves so many good things and quality time in school just to read(hardwork) and they assimilate and remember what they read quite easily(intelligence).. There are people who study very hard but aren't that intelligent and those who are intelligent but don't study hard,and yes,they don't get outstanding grades(just regular average grades). To get a first class,intelligence and hardwork are integral and need to be fused appropriately.. 3 Likes 1 Share

1. They know the secret of reading and retaining information 2. They utilize those secrets while reading and making broad research on their various courses. They are studious 3. They are serious about classes, tests and projects. 4. They sometimes, are in a reading group or club. 5. They pray to God before an exam. 2 Likes 1 Share |

1. They set the goal of making a first class and keep their eyes on that goal. 2. They spend more hours studying, including during holidays. They also teach their peers to have better mastery of the courses. 3. They keep intelligent and motivated friends in their inner circle. 4. They pray, stay motivated and have strong faith. 1 Like |

davidadeoluwa: That doesn’t in any way say they are not intelligent. All first class graduates (who didn’t buy their way to that position) are intelligent. They don’t have to be geniuses but they are certainly intelligent. 4 Likes |

michaelismenten:But you don't understand the principles of microbiology, you only know the method of solving problems in microbiology. If you understand the principles, by now you would have broken through in R & D innovation. If they ask you to explain some theories in microbiology now you must have forgotten them because it has vapourised from the memory, but when you understand the principles you will never forget rather you continue to innovate with it, this is where the developed countries or western world are much better than us. |

Most are class reps. Padipadi things with lecturers. However, many of them are anti social. |

falcon01: That may depend on discipline. You cannot tell me that a 1st class graduate of Analytical Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Law, Chemical engineering, Archaeology, Vet Med, and such cannot analyse. In fact analysis is a key part of the training. Although I cannot say about 9ja. But in climes I know about, your assertion is wrong. 1 Like |

I also did a research on this and my findings were They take assignments, tests and presentations very serious by this a lot have 30% secured already. They have thier notes up to date. They read whatever they are taught in class and research further on areas not covered by the lecturers. They consult past questions and fine tune thier answers regularly till they arrive at a almost perfect response. And finally you might need to cram. There are some terms you can't omit or put in your own words but they just have to be the way they are handed to you by the lecturer. |

davidadeoluwa:During my NYSC, I studied my fellow corp members who had a first class from their university and polytechnic. I also compared them to the first class students I knew in school. One thing I found in common is that they don't leave any stone unturned. They make sure they brush every sentence in whatever materials they're given to study. They don't assume that "dey no go ask for this one". In fact, if there's something they don't understand they go to any length to find solution. One strategy I found in common with them is they go to a senior colleague in a specialist department to get solution. For example, in the department of Geography, we took courses in surveying. My friend would go to the best student of estate management (we didn't have surveying department in OAU at that time) to teach him the complex topics in surveying. The same thing applies to those I met during my NYSC, if an engineering student was having problems with any calculation he would humble himself in front of a first class colleague in mathematics to teach him. So, they also knew how to network. They weren't extra brilliant. It just seems that academic excellence is their source of dopamine. 3 Likes |
