Entering university has the greatest task among all that I have mentioned.

For those that are already in university, it is time to buckle up and start reading wide and learning new things according to the scope of your lecturer. Becoming a first-class graduate has a price to pay just like there is always a price attached to a product that you derived satisfaction from. The desire to come out with first class is present but the question is if you are willing to make the sacrifice by doing the following which are;

Reading all this, you might be thinking that it is an easy task but it is not. I assure you it is a very difficult task to perform.

Check it out ninety-five percent (95%) of first-class all made sacrifices one way or the other by denying themselves of some things. This is the main reason one needs to be focused and determined to achieve one’s goal which is to graduate with first class. However, there are some factors that can determine if you might graduate with a first-class or not. The main factors are;

This includes all the efforts that you make to achieve your goal. The effort in the amount of time spent on reading, thinking, studying, and all other sacrifices you have made. It is not only reading that determines the outcome of grades, solving real-life problems also help.

Lecturers! Funny right? The lecturers in your department also determine your fate for the quest of first class. Some universities with strict lecturers who did not graduate with first class do not want others to graduate with first class. This is the reason why you need to make inquiries and research about the university and the department you are heading to so that you won’t be entangled in this kind of situation. Some lecturers are kind also and some are funny. It would be better if someone is neither close nor distant from the lecturer except you know the lecturer too well in person.

The university also affects the student. A university that encourages people to first class is likely to produce more first-class graduates than a university that does the opposite. Some universities encourage first-class graduates by assisting them, giving them reasonable cash prices, giving them jobs, and so on. Note that not all university does that. Some do not even recognize first-class graduates. This is the more reason why I implore you to make research about a university before applying.
