You dont read to know, you read to pass especially in federal universities

1. Dont cram. I like to give myself a week to study.

2. Read your book thoroughly. If it says Chap 1-15, read Chap 1-15 from cover to back. I've had many prof whose exams are 25% from notes, 75 % from textbook.

3. Practice past exams. Get them from a friend or two. I'm one of the lucky few who always has somebody to get the past exams from

4. Study groups. Sometimes they help, sometimes they dont. Sometimes I just wanna lock myself help and read by myself. But it helps me greater when I explain to others and others explain to me.

5. Sleep, 6 hrs minimum. Your brain needs to rest. I always clearly remember items I study 6hrs earlier after a good night sleep.

6. Go to proffs office hours ( just seeing your face may make him give you that 2 extra point for that A). I seem to remember what my proffs says durin office hours, rather than what they say during class time. I still wonder why.

7. Eat healthy. I know how we love to go to McDonalds/ Starbucks during exams. That's a no no! Eat healthy (tips for exam healthy diets are online. Use them).

ok

Not advisable in our universities if you are a beautiful/attractive gurl. You'll end up attracting those randy old dogs and you must donate to be set free.
The system here sucks

Somebody sent you a mail; you said you are going to summarise and discuss it here in the forum for the benefit of everyone but you have failed to do so. Why? Please my ear is wide open waiting. Maybe I may get to learn some important lesson from it, if disscused.

D only way is to study hard.

This is a great post. When it comes to passing WAEC, NECO and even JAMB in flying colors, one has to understand the basic rules guiding that examination body. The truth is that, the way you prepare for JAMB is kind of different to the very way you prepare for WAEC. We do have this difference due to the fact that we are talking of two different exam body. The way JAMB questions are set is not the same way WAEC or NECO exam questions are set. They all have different approach methods. In knowing the secret to pass JAMB and maybe WAEC or NECO, i will like you guys to read up this post for further clarification on this matter: http://www.nigeriascholar.com/2011/10/how-to-pass-jamb-and-post-jamb.html. Hope this helps?

I was never really good at school

1. Remember to go to class. Showing up in class and taking notes lets you know what the teacher wants on the exam.
2. Study with peers and alone. By studying with peers, you make sure not to miss anything by relying simply on your own notes and memories.
3. If you are really struggling to understand, get a tutor early on in the class well before finals (just someone who took the class before you and did well, the prof may recommend someone)
4. Pray for clarity and peace

Great post OP

Like someone posted earlier, preparing for an exam is a meticulous process. Most times students do not commit a lot of time to studying and expect to get fantastic, in my line of work i come across a lot of aspiring healthcare professionals who like the idea of becoming a top shot healthcare professional but are willing to give all it takes.

Study groups are very useful, so create a study group with like minded individuals. Professional Mentoring is also a very useful tool, we lack a lot of this in our society.

@all please i really need ur help rite now.I'm writing this year's jamb and i've not started reading because of my computer lessons(which will end in March),laziness and lack of a gud time table.I've tried ff my time table but i just can't.Pls can you help me prepare a time table dat will work?? I'd be really greatful if u would help me.

Hardwork is very important in passing your exams. You need to study with high level of seriousness, meet with people that have succeeded in the exam you are about to write and ask them some questions about some things you do not understand and then get past questions and solve them on your own. Finally, pray to God to crown your efforts with success. That way, you can be sure of passing you exam. Best of luck.

pls, i urgently need information on utme change of instution form

Pi0neer: I was never really good at school

There's nothing wrong with you; but there's everything wrong with your belief.

Change that belief, and you would realize that you're one of the most gifted student of all time!

Pls does anyone knows if GCE expires after a particular period of time.

Does any one know if the late entry form for WAEC is still out.
Secondly, does any one know a good secondary school with boarding facilities that prepares students for WAEC/GCE/JAMB etc. I mean where the student can go for 1 year to prepare for these exams.
Thanks for any good info.
