Shikha spoke to Tanuja to find out her prep strategy, success mantra and future plans. Go through the detailed interview below.

Thanks. Yes definitely! I did hard work throughout the year and getting 99.4% is just like a mere dream come true!

I mainly focused on the quality. I studied each and every line very carefully. I used to give one or two hours to each subject daily. Besides I used to solve past years’ papers and used to compare it with the toppers’ answer sheets.

I used to study till late at night, about 2 o’clock, and get up at 8 am. After 9 am, I used to study till night, taking breaks of one hour after each subject. At night I used to go through the important questions and Arihant Sample papers.

According to me, time management is very important for Humanities students as we have to write 100 marks question papers in just 3 hours in subject like English and Hindi. So, during preparation students should solve a lot of sample papers. And divide the time of 3 hours between different sections so that one can complete the examination before the time.

I suppose students take excessive burden of the examination. Most of the students focus on quantity but not on quality. So, what matters is that they must be calm and regular with studies.

I am fond of studying and thus a situation never came when I was exhausted. I love to study.

I used a lot of reference books besides N.C.E.R.T for exams. In English, I chose Exam idea and All in one. In Economics I preferred VK Ohri, All in one and Exam idea. In Geography I practiced a lot of maps and used N.C.E.R.T only.

Revision definitely plays an important role in the examinations. I started revision in the month of December. A student should revise their subjects as much as they can.

Divide each section with time and write the answers in the word limit. Extra words do not give extra marks.

In my case I tried to keep my calm and be confident that I have learnt everything. I used to concentrate and focus totally on these attributes.

Learn and study well. Be confident throughout the year. And never focus on marks. Keep your goal in mind and make a proper timetable.

I want to pursue law and for that I have appeared for CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) only.

I want to pursue law as I want to become a judge. I want to pursue BA LLB (Hons) from NLSIU, Bangalore.
