How do you effectively revise all that you have studied so that you can assess your level of readiness and end up with the best grades? Here are some simple and effective revision tips to help you.

1. Practise the material you will be tested on - Try completing some of the tasks that you will be tested on during the exams. For instance, if your exam involves essay writing, practice writing an essay. Practise with old exam questions as well. Do not merely memorize a material, check that you truly understand and can explain it.

2. Revise Actively - Active revision means that you don’t just gloss over the materials but you actively highlight key points, make text markings along the margins of your notebook, coin possible questions from your notes and try to answer them. Pause from time to time to recall what you have revised, and try repeating key points in your own words. You can also color code areas that you find difficult to remember; that way it’s easy to do quick readings of those specific areas. If you are a visual learner, break down information into diagrams or illustrations.

3. Take Periodic Breaks - Take breaks to aid your concentration. Regular breaks will help you to feel less tired and retain more information. A tired mind will find it difficult to process information. You could even reward yourself with a treat once you complete a task.

4. Explain the topic to Someone - Find someone who knows the topic and explain it to them. Speaking about a topic is helpful with retaining information about it. It would also help you identify areas you can’t explain well thus forcing you to go back and clarify such information. In the end, you will be better prepared for your exams. Alternatively, you can revise with other classmates or groups of students. Studying in a group reduces anxiety and makes revision fun and effective.

5. Rest and Sleep- Getting a good rest and/or sleep is effective in boosting your memory and in retaining information. Avoid staying up all night revising, instead get a good night’s rest for better performance on your exams.

Nigerian ed- tech Company, uLesson Education has introduced Live Lessons on the uLesson app. Students will now be able to learn real-time from expert tutors by signing up and scheduling a time for classes on the app. The Live classes which will be bundled alongside pre-recorded subscription plans, will be in line with the curriculum and will include ad hoc classes to explain more difficult topics and concepts.

With this initiative, the Company aims to further enrich the learning experience of students, allowing them to connect with tutors for richer and more interactive learning sessions. It also aims to encourage learning at a comfortable pace as students can now schedule their daily study routine, learn in real-time from qualified teachers and reserve their preferred topic and slot from the schedule on the uLesson app.

In addition to the Live Lessons, a Question and Answer feature has also been introduced on the app. This would involve learners submitting questions in form of text or images via the app and tutors responding with detailed solutions. The Question and Answer feature is available to everyone — free users can ask one question a day while paid users can ask unlimited questions.

According to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of uLesson Education, Sim Shagaya, the new features on the app will ensure that students have a holistic and reliable learning tool that helps them to learn at their own pace and from the comfort of their homes. He said, “We have introduced the Live Lessons and the Question & Answer features to help learners enjoy more interactive lessons and get an authentic classroom experience. The combined access to curriculum-tailored content, live interactive classes with expert tutors, which they can schedule as they desire as well as the question and answer feature would contribute to academic excellence for learners especially as many students across the country are yet to go to back to school”

“We are confident that these new features will boost students’ morale, renew interest in studying and adequately prepare them for schoolwork, tests and examinations. We also hope that this provides enough indication that online learning is a great enabler and is worth every investment”, Shagaya added.

Shedding more light on how the Live classes would work, Vice President, Content Development, uLesson Education, AyoOluwa Nihinlola said, “We have designed the Live Lessons such that all uLesson app users, both free and paid will be able to sign up for classes from a schedule which will be provided one month ahead of the classes. Once a user signs up for a class, they will get a confirmation with details about the class, including time, date, tutor’s details and even links to pre-recorded sessions and reading materials to prepare ahead of the classes. Users of the uLesson app will get a learning experience that is unprecedented in scope and richness”.

uLesson Education Limited would also be gifting learners 2GB data monthly to enable them learn on the app. To get access to the free Live Lessons and the Question and Answer feature, students can download the uLesson App from the Google playstore, install it and click on the desired feature.

You know the drill. It’s the final term of Senior Secondary/High School, and you will have to write WAEC/WASSCE examinations - an important step if you are to move on to tertiary education. Everything seems to be on schedule, and then the Coronavirus pandemic strikes. Schools are shut down and exams are postponed. While at home, you try to keep up with learning and staying prepared for the exams,but the uncertainty of the exam dates means that you drop your guard.

Now though, the WAEC/WASSCE exams are finally here. Only a few weeks to go. You have done some reading but you don’t feel adequately prepared. You are desperately trying to cover the basics but every time you think of how much more to cover and revise, your heart skips a beat. In any case, you have to write the exams and you want to pass in flying colours.

Thankfully, Africa and the world in general is rapidly catching on to education technology and online learning. Online classrooms, standardized tests and online assessments are proving to be excellent solutions for students to prepare for and pass any exam including WAEC.

In West Africa, a leading education app that has bridged the gap between learning and preparing for WAEC exams is the uLesson app. Loaded with pre-recorded educational videos based on the curriculum and delivered by expert teachers, the uLesson app has proven to be an invaluable tool for WAEC preparation. The lessons on the app are delivered as short video formats and include the use of digital animation and illustrations to help explain complex concepts as well help students learn in a more fun and engaging way.

Why is the uLesson app so valuable for passing WAEC? In addition to in depth lessons, the app features several years of past WAEC examination question papers with detailed solutions. There are also timed practice tests that simulate real WAEC questions, thus helping students become familiar with the WAEC exam format as well as assess their level of preparedness and time management skills.

To summarise, the uLesson app is an excellent tool for SS3/SHS3 students to prepare for - or even more appropriately, to ‘pass and ace’ the WAEC exams for these reasons:

Interactive video lessons
Availability on-the-go
Access to several years of past questions with detailed solutions
Timed quizzes and practice exams
Ease of revision

So whether you’re writing your WAEC exams in Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia or the Gambia, the uLesson app offers real value in helping you crack and pass WAEC exams and it’s available for free download on the Google playstore.

Preparing for exams can be quite stressful for many students, especially with national or regional exams such as WAEC/WASSCE. We understand the anxiety that this could bring on and that’s why we are sharing some trusted and proven tips to help you prepare more efficiently and effectively.

Now, let’s get into the tips.

Study, Study, Study - We cannot overemphasize the need to study when preparing for an exam. After all, you cannot become familiar with what you haven’t read or studied. It is important to pay attention to the subjects and topics in your curriculum. Becoming familiar with terms, definitions, concepts, lists, and diagrams is a super way to prepare for WAEC exams. Do you have a study timetable? You should create one and stick to it.

Take Short Notes - Do you feel like you have too much information to digest? We understand how overwhelming this could be. The super tip to tackling this is to take short notes as you pore over your study materials. Focus on writing down only relevant information that will enable you to recollect a larger concept. These short notes would be very useful for revisions.

Don’t ignore any Subject - Do you have a least favourite subject? Well, many of us do and we might have the tendency to ignore that subject until the very last minute. Resist this tendency to ignore it, study it as much as you study your favourite subject. Make sure you leave no stone unturned. This super tip would help you ace not just your favourite subject but all!

Use Fun Learning Tools - Research shows that videos, illustrations, animations, motion pictures and images aid better learning and understanding. With an app like the uLesson app, you can learn in a more fun and relaxed manner and increase your ability to remember what you have studied.

Take Practice Tests/Mock Exams - Set a time to practice past WAEC exam questions. This would help you become familiar with how the exam questions are set. A good way to practice is to set a time in which you must have attempted all the questions. Timed quiz is easy to achieve with the uLesson app. With over 8 years of past WAEC questions with detailed solutions available on the app, you can prepare for WAEC with ease.

Those are our 5 super tips! Now, begin to apply these tips and you will be well on your way to being adequately prepared for WAEC/WASSCE exams.

Nigeria’s Ed-tech start-up, uLesson Education Limited, has expanded the content library on the uLesson app to include lessons for Junior Secondary School students.

The uLesson app launched in March 2020, with a Senior Secondary School library, covering Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. With this update, the app now offers students in junior secondary school access to curriculum-relevant content in Basic Technology, Business Studies, Basic Science and Mathematics.

The digital age is quickly shaping the education landscape and the way students learn. It is our goal at uLesson to leverage this digital transformation to provide learning tools that will help students learn in a simpler and more effective manner.”

“Like the Senior School library, the Junior School library has been richly designed in scope, interactivity, and effectiveness in line with the West African Secondary School curriculum. We have taken steps to provide best-in-class lessons delivered by expert tutors to ensure that learners get only the best learning experience”, Shagaya added.

Vice President, Learner Experience and Growth, uLesson Education, Manji Cheto said the new library addresses a deep customer need. She stated, “we pride ourselves as a Company that listens to and anticipates customer needs, and then acts quickly to respond to these concerns. The release of our junior secondary library is a great example of this. Customers made it overwhelmingly clear that this is what they wanted from us and so, we are proud to deliver this in the timeframe that we have”.

The uLesson app employs a simple and personalized approach to learning, leveraging a mix of media and technology to provide engaging lessons and quizzes to foster deep understanding of a subject matter and continued learning for students. uLesson is creating a platform to revolutionize the way students learn and study for their exams.

The average human has about 9,000 taste buds but the Catfish has over 20,000 taste buds. In fact, some large catfish can have as many as 100,000 taste buds.

This is because the Catfish has taste buds not only on its mouth but all over it's body. These taste buds allow the fish not only to taste when prey is nearby but to also hone in on its exact location.

This highly developed sense of taste is crucial for catfish which often live and hunt in murky waters with low visibility. With the thousands of taste buds, they are able to catch prey without visual cues.

*LAUNCH ALERT*
Happy to announce that the new JSS library will now be available from the 7th of July, moved forward from September ��. We love you and we go above and beyond to satisfy your learning needs.

uLesson - Love Learning

Leading telecommunications service provider, Airtel Nigeria, has entered a partnership with leading education technology company, uLesson to subsidize online education for uLesson app users during the covid-19 stay at home period.

The partnership provides all new and existing uLesson subscribers who use the Airtel network, free 500MB daily to continue learning via the uLesson app.

According to the Chief Executive Officer, uLesson, Sim Shagaya, the partnership is in line with uLesson’s mission to help students be the very best they can be and prepare them for a future in various disciplines.

“We designed the uLesson app to enable students to have access to high-quality, affordable and accessible education, helping them maximise their academic achievement” he said.

Shagaya further explained, “Beyond providing an opportunity for more students to use a platform that enables them to study in a simplified and easy manner, this partnership further bridges the education gap that has resulted from the current health crisis by creating a fully integrated data-free learning solution”.

Commenting on Airtel Nigeria’s partnership with uLesson, Chief Commercial Officer, Airtel Nigeria, Dinesh Balsingh said, “Airtel Nigeria is passionate about Nigerian youth and committed to doing whatever is required to flatten the covid-19 curve. As a key stakeholder in the Nigerian project, we are pleased to partner with uLesson to connect young Nigerians to platforms that will empower them to become successful and also realize their full potential”.

uLesson had in previous weeks announced a reduction in prices of its product offerings to enable more students to learn at home. The Company introduced a 5000-naira stream-only access to the full senior secondary school library for one term (ending August 31st), and the N29,500 package which comes with the pack (dongle and SD card) was also reduced to N24,500; all in a bid to ease the disruption resulting from necessary school closures.

uLesson, a learning app designed to help African students be the very best they can be, has reviewed its price downwards to accommodate more students who will be at home during this period of the Coronavirus pandemic.

The price review, which was made known by the CEO of the Company, Sim Shagaya was driven by the desire to help more students have access to the app’s rich curriculum-relevant content even while at home and to encourage families to adhere to government regulations to stay at home.

According to Shagaya, the health crisis should not stop students from learning. He said: “it is unfortunate that the world is experiencing such a crisis causing children to be out of school. While many of us can carry on our work remotely, our kids' do not have access to school or home tutors.

We recognize that parents and guardians may be anxious about having to pause the education of their kids. Because of this, we have reviewed the cost of our product downward and introduced a 5000 naira stream-only access to the full senior secondary school library for one term (ending August 31st). The N29,500 package which comes with the pack (dongle and SD card) has also been reduced to N24,500. We have also worked to ensure that you do not spend more than N100 on data monthly using uLesson. We are committed to helping to ease the disruption resulting from necessary school closures and believe our service can be of tremendous value to learners”
