What is a typical day for you when you were studying?
Typically, most of my day was spent at school. After school, I would usually study for at least three hours each day after completing homework. I would study basically two subjects in this time and I would focus on the topics that I did not understand.

What role did your temple and involvement in religious activities play in your achievement?
Attending temple definitely helped me with concentration. I was also highly motivated when I attended mandir and as a result, I was more all rounded as an individual. So, with no hesitation, I can say that taking part in temple activities assisted me greatly in my success.

How does one excel?
- You must have a positive mindset from the beginning and even after you finish the exam.
- Examine the subject’s syllabus online and ensure that you have mastered all of the objectives.
- After you have learnt the theory of the entire subject or specific topics, do plenty of past papers and practice expression skills.
- Arrange past papers according to related topics.
- Make connections with all of your topics and understand their relationships.
- When studying, my aim is to explain the topic to myself just as a teacher would to someone who doesn’t know the subject. In this way, it enhances my own understanding of the subject.
