Making first-class is not what life is all about, learning is not just by result but morphing what you've learnt to make life better for you and everyone around you.

Please dear nairalanders I need your dearly advice

Am a student from a university here in Nigeria, it happens that I got 3.39 as my first gp which makes me unhappy but I didn't allow it to depress me... So the following semester I got 4.75 and now out of 8 semesters in total.. Am done with 4 now and my cgp totals 4.26 ... I have four semesters left.. Can I make it to 4.5? And what gp do I need to keep for each semester left to achieve that.... Thank you

Note: Don't talk about how grade doesn't matter in my life, am quite aware too as am not even planning to work with the degree

Be determined, you will get there if you remain focused

First class no get value again

If you can. You make it

If not focus more on what value you have aside the paper called certificate

By the way. even the oil job many graduates are chasing . Firms train more diploma students in the end cheesy

YES YOU CAN.
NEVER GIVE UP.

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.
Just do your very best as much as you can and don't confuse yourself by trying to calculate the marks you need in each examination.

All the very best Hazan.
Thank u ma

I will give you a comprehensive feedback if you can get me the courses remaining and their respective units. Also, the total units already passed that got you up to 4.26. Congratulations.

Get A’s in all the remainder of your courses, especially the high Unit courses.
And your dissertation.
You will get into 4.5 and comfortably too.
I made a 4.64 or so (if I recall well). Narrow escape. My story is similar to yours. I sat up in my 2nd year. From 2nd year onwards, I was ruthless in execution.
You are almost there. I am optimistic for you. You have to be positive, prayerful and RUTHLESS.

Ignore the naysayers here. Your first class will, with God’s help, open countless doors for you.

You have a good chance...

Make sure you got A in your project and try getting 4.7 each semester.

May God help you.

Your chances are zero to non


For a university student to mistake I'M / I AM for AM , i am sure you wrote your WAEC at a miracle centre


On the other hand , don't bother getting Distinction , Learn a trade and keep updating your knowledge about that trade , even if you have age on your side , white collar job is not guaranteed

sire, you are very hardworking and you should keep it up. I know a guy who never achieved first class cgpa till his final semester at the uni. just aim to max out all your courses.

Easy question, simple answer - keep your units low meaning avoid taking any elective that adds nothing to your bottomline. Find out exactly how many units you need to graduate. Divide the total units by the number of semesters you have left, and keep it simple but full of hardwork for the remaining 4 semesters. For example, say, you need 40 to make total of 120 to graduate, split the 40 by 4 to get 10 units per semester and do just that till you graduate. You re better off with your compulsories, a minimal total unit required for graduating than a maximum number which only increases units used to divide your total at the end.

You need to get a GP of 4.74 each of the four remaining semesters to land 4.5 CGPA but you can still get 4.63 if you will have 5 points on each of the remaining semesters.

Try and get your handbook, then look at the various units of the courses ahead of you, then do the necessary calculations, in that way you will know if you will graduate with first class.

I was waiting for someone to point out this mistake, nairalanders never disappoint.
Well here is my take for op. It's really a great thing to chase First Class, but never allow this take away the real reason for being in school; To learn and get educated all round. What Nigerians need now are people who can think and solve problems, but unfortunately, we aren't taught all this within the four corners of the classroom. You could choose what your heart wants, but remember that it's all about how fulfilled we are within our hearts and what we want now might not be what we want tomorrow.

Re: What Are My Chances Of Making First Class? by barajo1(m): 1:16pm On Jan 15, 2020
Its very possible. You need someone to teach you how to calculate cgpa. The number of unit course you offer matters. Try and meet up with 4.6 every semester.

If you are so smart and want to finish with a first-class and yet can't sit down and calculate what GP you need for your remaining semester to finish with a first-class.

Good brain in that head of yours abi it's just today's promo ? grin grin grin grin

just kidding , op has to be passionate about his / her course and like you said to learn everything inside out, not for the GP or certificate, but to be able to defend it at anytime


these days where aspiring Computer science students get banking and finance admission, it's quite easy to loose the passion in the name of ''i no wan tay for house''


I agree with you 101%

ps , my opening comment is a joke , don't take it personally
