Sharing the result, he wrote:
“6/30 in CA 65/70 in Exam 71 A 🤝”
The student also quoted an earlier post he had made asking a question about academic recovery.
“Have you ever done a successful academic comeback before?” he had asked in the previous post.”
In many Nigerian universities, Continuous Assessment contributes 30 marks, while the final examination accounts for 70 marks, making the CA test a boost to their total score; however, the reverse was the case with @drealbigvirg, whose exam result boosted his score to bag an ‘A.’
