“There are quite a few factors which contributed to my results. Out of all, consistency, is the biggest key to achievement. I was consistently revising all the concepts throughout the year. Similarly, taking regular breaks is equally important. Using the 2:30 rule, which entails studying for two hours and then taking a 30 minutes break, worked out the best for me. Investing time in the subject I dreaded the most paid off exceptionally as I scored a perfect 100 in it. Moreover, my parents’ confidence in my potential helped me perform at my level best.”

“The trick is to maintain a balance between studies and enjoyment. I went to school regularly and limited my screen time to reduce distractions. In fact, I analysed the mistakes I was making in the school exams so that I wouldn't repeat them. PYQs and CBSE sample papers helped me to assess my knowledge and give a gist of what may come in the board exam. It is equally important to have fun with your friends or participate in competitions or other activities. However, it is essential to keep track of time.”
