8 PRACTICAL TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
The tips are simple and straight-forward.when you start applying them,you will experience a great improvement on your CGPA no matter how low it is,the tips are practical and you must really do them consistently.Let me also add that academic excellence can't be achieved by mistake, you have to know what it takes to have it and also do them diligently or else mediocrity or even worse will set in. Now,Are you ready for them? Alright,let's start;
(1).SIT IN FRONT DURING CLASSES
In front? YES!,In front of the whole class,most preferably on the first row and how do you achieve that? Simply by going early for classes.
Have you really sat down to think why people rush to get the front seat?,You haven't i guess.Those people really know the difference between sitting at the front and sitting anywhere else.You get to hear the lecturers well and it draws your attention really close to what is being lectured.
(2).JOT DOWN DURING CLASSES
Apart from the normal notes for everyone, you need to jot down when explanation is on going, you never can tell,some lecturers are so wise that they set questions from what they said during explanation rather from the notes.
let me include here that what determines the rate of assimilation of each student at the end of a lecture is his/her level of concentration,jotting down points will increase your level of concentration as well as assimilation.
(3).ATTEND CLASSES
This is self explanatory and also important, your own attention to the lecturer during classes matters a lot,apart from the fact that you will copy note,you need to be present to hear for yourself and also prevents you from being a victim of sudden and impromptu tests.
(4).READ DAILY
From the start of the semester to the end of the semester,read daily.Why? It keeps you focused,no matter how long you read just make sure you learn something each day, with time you will start reading and studying daily without reluctancy but willingly and passionately trust me on that.
(5).READ BEFORE CLASSES
If you have ever done this before,you would know the difference between going to class empty-headed with no idea of what to be taught at all and having the knowledge and idea of what is to be taught during the class,everything will just be cool and easy for you as you will assimilate faster while others are struggling to understand.
(6).STUDY PAST QUESTIONS
Past questions are pointers to what is likely to come out if at all you want to get the gist of that and that's why you should study the past question before or along with the study of your notes,you may not understand the questions just yet but it would sink into your consciousness that whenever the lecturer wants to teach you that same topic,you would remember and pay a closer attention.
(7).SEEK HELP FROM FRIENDS/LECTURER
"Two heads are better than one" they say,if anything seems like a magic trick to you during lectures, call on the lecturer or your close friends to ask for help,don't keep them to yourself.
(8).LIKE YOUR LECTURERS
Have you ever noticed that when some lecturers give lectures,majority of the students tend to listen,participate and pay close attention? that's because they like the man standing in front of them,when you like your lecturers you assimilate maximally from their lectures but if you hate them,am sorry,you may not pass their courses.

8 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL YEAR 2016.
Before you call a year a successful one,that means you have fulfilled the goals you set for that year,below are tips to help you have a successful 2016;
(1).FORGET YOUR PAST
Each day is a fresh new page of your life,never let the failure of year 2015 affect the success ahead of you this new year, so you just have to let go of all the bad memories of last year as you clear your mind and stay positive to achieve and do much better this year.
(2).ESTIMATE YOURSELF
You need to sit down and evaluate your life for the year 2015,what you achieved and what you didn't,if you are far behind the goals,include them for this year and if you meet up with the goals,I say "Kudos" to you,The sky is your starting point.
(3).SET GOALS FOR THIS YEAR
Whether you meet up or not with last year goals,you still need goals for year 2016,Behold,i said "GOALS",that's a plural word,Set Financial goals,Academic goals,Marital/Family goals,Spiritual goals and more.You can't just afford to dabble into this year without the activeness of your mind towards some set goals.
(4).AVOID PROCRASTINATION
"Procrastination is the thief of time",a proverb says,and "Time waits for no man",so why the postponement of what you should do at a particular moment,if at all you have an important reason to procrastinate a task,make sure you go back to the postponed task as soon as possible.
(5).BE FOCUSED AND HARDWORKING
The reason you need to forget your past is to condition yourself for a much more successful year,so put away unnecessary things that won't do you good this 2016 year and stay glued to your goals.This year be determined and focused.
(6).BE AWARE OF OPPORTUNITIES
Out of the 365 days in year 2016,a lot of opportunities are going to present themselves to you,the problem is being aware of them and how do you stay aware? "See opportunities in every difficulty and not difficulties in every opportunity" and to be goal-focused that you spot any opportunities that look your way.
(7).PASTE THE GOALS
This is very important as it can determine whether you will achieve the goals or not,a lot of people begin each year with goals but very few achieve those goals,Why?,simply because "Out of sight is out of mind",so i urge you to write the goals boldly and place them where you will see them every single day,could be beside your mirror.
(8).LASTLY, NEVER FORGET GOD
Pray to God always,you need him in all yours ways,he kept you till this moment,he is only one that can make you to also see next year and know that He loves you more than you think or imagine.
