Scoring 99% in my CBSE board exams feels surreal—it’s a moment of pride and gratitude that I will cherish forever. This achievement is not just a reflection of my hard work but also the endless support and guidance from my teachers, who inspired me to give my best. Looking back, I realise that staying disciplined, focused, and committed to understanding concepts truly made the difference.
My approach was always rooted in understanding concepts deeply rather than relying on rote memorisation. For Science, I focused on reading the textbook line by line to ensure clarity in concepts and thorough understanding. In Math, I prioritised solving numerous sample papers, which helped me improve my accuracy, problem-solving skills, and time management. For theory-based subjects like Social Science, I concentrated on grasping the logical flow of events and their significance, allowing me to write well-structured and impactful answers.
When it came to languages, I emphasised consistent reading and writing practice, which enhanced my expression and clarity. Understanding the essence of prose and poetry, along with regular practice in grammar and literature, allowed me to express my thoughts effectively and confidently in exams.
It wasn’t always easy—there were days when it felt overwhelming, but staying focused and revising regularly kept me on track. I’m incredibly grateful to my teachers for their support and to my family for always believing in me. This journey taught me that any goal is achievable with persistence, proper planning, and the right guidance.
