Soakaway:I was honestly feeling sorry for your predicament until I read where you said you got a female friend who you guess is in love with you... Lol. Love dey your head still, you must be distracted! In this kind of situation, you need all the external help you can get from males and females. You also need maximum concentration to pass well. A lot of people have offered you good advice but since I'm commenting, I'll amplify what has been said. I have a problem with sitting down for more than two hours at a stretch to study. The school library wasn't my place. I play too much but I don't forget what I hear, see and write down. When I discovered this, I knew I couldn't force myself to read like my friends. During exam prep, they'll be so worried about me and even advice me on how to read. None of that worked. Here's what worked for me. - Group discussions. - Me, teaching others BEFORE exams. - Asking questions. - Answering past questions. - Debates. Always taking the wrong side. - Intensive night reading, a day or two to the exam. - Humility. - God. These are some of the things that helped my grades in school. By my third year, those who knew my matric number said I was deceiving them. I don't look like I know and till tomorrow, I love that unassuming side of me. It gives me an edge. And oh! I'm shy too. So being shy is not an excuse. Look for one or two people doing well and befriend them. Where you need help with materials, speak up. Go to senior colleagues early and ask for their materials before they give them out or return them home. Best wishes as you discover what works for you! Let your least grade this semester be D. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Soakaway: Wheew... I Understand You Xtremely Well. Infact, I Studied Economics Too. And Failed Much More Than U Can Dream Not To. They're Diff Kinds\variations Of Success But Lets Just Say By My Yr 4 And Afterwards, I Ended Up "scaring" And Bewildering Our Firstclass Holder And The Associated Nerd Gang. SURELY We Have 2 Talk More. But I'l Start With This Clue Of What 2 Do: STUDY FAILURE VERY WELL to streamline new efforts! U Can Do This. Just Be Game. U Truly Can Do This!! And Finally, Why Do U Call Urself Soakaway?? |

Hello my dear ,i want to attend to your issues one step at a time.first the financial problems that makes you resume school late in your 100l first semester which leads to you having those series of carry over courses....in an higher institution once there is no money it is always difficult to come out with good grades ..even the more you try to buckle up,the more confuse you will end up,because you will do everything later after others already finish with theirs .eg you buy text books late when it's already exam period,sometimes you won't be able to attend all classes especially when your home is not close to your school and thirdly your mind will not be focus when you are in the class ..you try to concentrate but that's when your mind will be at home thinking about so many things...thinking about after you leave class what are you going to eat at home.....finally one thing with higher institution is that if you started so badly like you already started now,it will take the grace of God and full time focus and everyday practice,reading and attending classes for you to come out with good grades...but in this your case i can see that things are not too good at home financially.Even up till now things are not still good so you will really find it difficult to even graduate with 2.2 because once there is no money even things will be very difficult for the most intelligent student in higher institution.I am speaking out of experience,because i was once in your shoes during my ND days in a polytechnic.i resume late because of money issues and i don't even have somewhere to stay but since i was given admission,i said let me try ....that's how i got two carry over in my ND 1 first semester....second semester same ND1 was still very tough....but when i got to ND2 semester things were a little bit okay at home and i bought all my text book on time and i got an apartment of my own close to my department and one other things i did was to be close to the most intelligent student in my department.I made friends with him and after classes i invited him to my house and we practice and read together...sometimes after practice i arrange food we eat together...sometimes he sleeps my house and i wake him up at night so he can teach me some of the chapters i am not too clear with.....and sometimes he don't sleep so after teaching me and practicing together with him he leaves in the evening sometimes i will give him transport because his house was little bit far from school.....that was how at the end of my second semester in ND2 in my poly days i graduate successful,pass all my carry over and i graduated with lower credits....i was even thinking i was going to graduate with a pass or even advice to withdraw but because God was on my side and my ND2 was better than my ND1 in finance aspect...i was able to cover up for the most during my ND1...so i pray God should bless you financially so that you will be able to focus on your studies and do whatever you needs to do on time..buying your text books on time and you start early preparation at the beginning of every semester and try to be friends with some of the intelligent student so that they can help you get to your goals and destination in Jesus name |

Wow... Well g I actually understand hw u feel right now cos I was once in ur position, although I didn't think of killing myself. Briefly, in my 200l I had 4 C.Os n my second semester I had 3. Am in 300l 2nd semester in unilag now and am almost through with the carry overs just remaining one from 1st semester n the ones I failed in second semester which am doing now... Reason for saying this is just to tell you that u shouldn't give up just because you failed. The people on this group have given you several advices - some good, others not to be considered, while some are just there but they all have given good advice... Failure is not always a bad thing cos from the carried over courses I did, I even understood more than I did when I took it the first time. So just study, have faith but don't be a religious extremist, relate with people smart or not, cos u neva no who is who and am sure you will see a good result cos I worked for me.... For the record it's good to dream but right now just focus on passing cos u can't always have straight A's and B's in ur courses. No offense though 2 Likes |

Hello Soakaway, I can feel your pains. You've got the good and bad advice on this thread and I hope you'll be able to sieve the ones that matter. Despite the plethora of contributions, I feel the need to contibute because: 1. I am a graduate of Economics 2. I am an Educationist and I have dealt with people in similar cases as yours. However, I cannot write epistle now. I'll update this post tomorrow. Before I do that, you can read these: How to read and assimilate quickly How to get good grades in college My reply to someone in similar case: "The deal is done already. As a graduate of Economics, I very much understand your (the concerned) conundrum. I sense you are not really good with mathematics. Like I tell my friends, never be depressed by a situation you can't change, instead spend your time correcting the problem. Be positive that you are going to rewrite all the ten papers and pass them with good grades.. I quite understand that the carry overs might be in courses like mathematical economics, statistics or even econometrics... You can pass those courses if you will follow the guides I will be sharing in few days.. Don't let your self-esteem be affected because you have carry overs, that is not the end of the world... I could even help you do your assignments or guide you for free if you want... Follow this post or this educational blog (www.educareful.com) to know when I share the article. Goodluck" 2 Likes |

Get a house close to the uni or an hostel Inside the uni. Move around with the best brains in class study with them so they can always put you thru. Go to previous past questions to know the kind of questions that's are been set. Always read you book every day. Most importantly always know how you answer each lectures questions. |

Soakaway:Thank God you open up. l believe the advice and help some wonderful Nigerians have given you will bail you out One thing I must add is this I'm an introvert and that shouldn't make your feel less with others. Burn the midnight candle, attends lectures, do your assignment and most importantly talk to reach some family members for financial support. This alone is a distraction. warm regards |

Soakaway: its not usually easy to apply for extra credit in 300l except you have long legs, but in 400l they would easily approve it, just talk to your departmental officer or you course. Because if i should advice you to go and see Prof Philip he wouldnt listen to you 1 Like |
Re: Carry Over Is Ruining My Life Please Help Me by TOPCRUISE(m): 7:03am On Jul 11, 2018 |
With the rate of carry overs you have, there is the possibility you will graduate with a 3rd class and an extra year. Firstly I will advice that you concentrate less or not at all with those electives that won't add to your GP and ignore the carry over courses for now and plan ahead for them in the extra year so that it won't accumulate and be a problem to the main subjects or courses on ground. If my advice is not good or does not make sense to you, then I will advice that you register a few of the main subjects and register all the carry over course in the new semester because some topics will still stay afresh in your memory and put much extra efforts in the carry over courses so as to limit the burden. Attend tutorials if you can |
