Get Ready for ADUSTECH Exams: New Dates from 22nd April to 18th May 2024

Aliko Dangote University Of Science and Technology (ADUSTECH) is set to embark on its first semester examinations for the academic year 2023/2024. Following deliberations by the University Senate at its 113th Meeting on Thursday, 15 February 2024, students are hereby informed of the critical dates and adjustments concerning the upcoming assessments.

Key Examination Dates

Initially scheduled to span from Monday, 15th April 2024 to Saturday, 11th May 2024, the examination period has been revised based on recommendations from the Senate Business Committee (SBC). The updated schedule now runs from Monday, 22nd April 2024 to Saturday, 18th May 2024. This adjustment provides an additional week for students to prepare, ensuring they approach their exams with confidence and thorough preparation.

What This Means for You

• Extended Preparation Time: The shift in the examination timetable grants you an extra week to review your notes, clarify doubts, and engage in group discussions. Use this time wisely to solidify your understanding of key concepts and address any areas of uncertainty.
• Planning Your Study Schedule: With clear dates now set for your examinations, you can create a detailed study plan that allocates time for each subject based on its complexity and your proficiency. Remember, effective time management is crucial for exam success.
• Seeking Support: Should you need extra help, consider reaching out to your lecturers, tutors, or study groups. ADUSTECH’s academic community is here to support you, offering guidance and resources to aid your revision.

Strategies for Effective Revision

• Active Learning: Engage with your material actively through summarising notes, creating mind maps, or teaching concepts to a peer. Active revision techniques have been shown to enhance memory retention and understanding.
• Practice Makes Perfect: Where possible, attempt past examination questions or practice papers. This not only familiarises you with the exam format but also helps in identifying areas needing further review.
• Wellness and Balance: While studying is important, maintaining your physical and mental well-being is equally crucial. Ensure you get adequate rest, eat healthily, and take short breaks during your revision sessions to keep your mind fresh and focused.

On the Examination Days

• Arrive Early: Aim to arrive at your examination venue well ahead of the scheduled time. This can help reduce any pre-exam anxiety and allows you to settle in comfortably before the exam begins.
• Read Instructions Carefully: Once you receive your exam paper, take a moment to read through the instructions carefully. Understanding what is required can help you allocate your time more effectively across questions.
• Stay Calm and Focused: It’s normal to feel nervous, but remember to breathe and stay calm. Focus on answering the questions to the best of your ability, and don’t hesitate to briefly pause for a moment if you feel overwhelmed.

ADUSTECH wishes all its students the very best in their upcoming examinations. Remember, this is a chance to demonstrate your knowledge and hard work over the semester. Approach your exams with confidence, preparation, and a positive mindset. You’ve got this!
