1) I think it’s important to know the study pattern that works for you

I don’t study overnight, I don’t study beyond 10pm. I’m up like 5am to study

I also pace & organize my readings, I set daily targets & work towards them

In my undergrad, I don’t joke with my midterm exams
2) Midterms were 40% & Finals were 60%. The classes covered before midterms are nothing, so it’s easy to read all... I rarely score less than 35% in midterms

The As were 70s, so I work towards 37-45/60 in finals

75A was good for me. My joke was “I don’t need anything above 75”.
3) It’s important to keep good companies. We were a clique of 4 called “The cabals” then

We were an accountability group. We don’t even study together because we had different study patterns, but we revise together close to the exam & share resources.

And enjoy life together 😂
4) We also knew the importance of building our skills as we earned our degrees

We attended conferences, both local & international.

We networked & learned outside the class, we volunteered, we participated in student politics and brought these experiences into our exam answers.
5) We managed our time effectively, the time to study wasn’t used for something else and vice versa.

But all the experiences added up and made a difference. We all left the Uni with a business & a career plan. And we are all doing well now.

In all these, God has been faithful!

Education is an investment.

Research and check how relevant your program is

1) Business/Management Sciences

The discipline is more tied to math than commerce and will teach students about theories and models in statistics and programming

It will also teach students how to apply the knowledge/skills to a variety of business problems.
