THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FIRST CLASS STUDENTS

 


The struggles of every student in their academic pursuit include strive to graduate with good grade.The best grade in University is first class which is known as Distinction in Polytechnic. Many Nigerian students always wish to graduate with first class but they don’t know how to go about it. In fact, some students do see first class students as
extraordinary while some see them as magicians. Nevertheless, any student who wish to graduate with first class can do some things to make his dream come to pass. Below are some secrets of first class students which you can work on to get your own first class grade.
1. First class students don’t read 24/7
Hmmm, the believe of many about candidate that bag first class honour sometime are not true. You don’t have to read from morning to Night before you become a first class graduate. Most of the first class graduates have fixed hours for reading, between 2 to 5 hours everyday. So, if you want to become a first class student, you don’t have to read for 24 hours.


2. First Class students Attend lecture 
Yes, there is need to be in class always to achieve it and get it done. Most of the students that graduated with first class can testify to this claim. In the world of first class, you don’t play with lectures. If you want to have first class start attending lectures.   
3. First class students always want to know everything 
There is a similar mentality on the head of many first class students- most of them will ensure all the topics discussed in their various classes is well understood to the best of their knowledge. If there is any topic they don’t understand, they will always want to learn from others. They don’t mind to be your friend because of a single topic. 
 4. Cramming is first class best friend 
No brilliant student can survive without cramming. Although it is advised that you should read and understand but if you lack the power of cramming, my dear say goodbye to first class. Some students are first class but the manner they converse and communicate with people looks odd.  I have seen a first class student that cannot pronounce English words correctly. The more you know how to cram the higher your chances of bagging first class. Cramming and understanding works perfectly together. To know the name of your lecturer involves cramming which lead to understanding.     
5. First class students are Goal setters 
There is always a vision for first class student. Most of them will be aiming to Bag first class from their first year in school. It will be too late to start aiming for first class in your 3rd year. You must monitor your CGPA and ensure you keep pressing forward.   
6. Be a teacher and first class is Most Certain in most cases 
Do you know that there is good reward when you teach others what you know? It will make it very difficult for you to forget. By teaching others you are building and increasing your knowledge and most of the first class student also have this attribute.  
 7. First class students don’t ignore the power of note taking 
There are many secrets first class students will not want to tell you but if you study them closely you will realise where everything goes wrong or right. First class students always tag some words, sentence or particular definition that comes from the lecturer that others may consider insignificant. Pay attention to these facts and you will be celebrated as a first class student on the day of your graduation.
 8. First class students have boy friends/girl friends
Most of the first class students will tell you otherwise but the truth will always stand. Though the failure of some students today is as a result of their relationship and friend in school. Giving priority to your relationship ahead of your academic is insanity. You can have girl friend and boy friend but make sure your courtship is free from anything that can affect your Academic obligations. Chase your book and not the female folks.. Don’t turn yourself to romeo and juliet while in school.   
9. First class students Are Gifted in most cases
 Make we talk the truth, we must acknowledge this fact. To become first class is sometimes by gift. We all know messi is the best footballer in the world with only two legs. Other footballers also have two legs but are no where to match his standard. We can be age mate but not grace mates. Some brains are designed to cram and also save information. 
P.S: Don’t hurt yourself if you fail to graduate with first class degree honour. You might be destined for something Greater.
