Thank you very much! Honestly, I never thought about that, I was hopeful of getting around 95% but being the topper was a big surprise.

Everyone was extremely overjoyed, I could see a sense of satisfaction and deep pleasure in their eyes.

From the very first day I was up to my ears in my work. My strategy was not to let even a single day go waste.

Frankly, I never made a time table. I was just working on clearing my concepts and learning. I used to sit for hours and go through the chapters and then practice the questions that followed.

Procrastination is the biggest enemy. Don't leave your assignments and tasks for the next day because that thing/topic would lay undone then. Make every second count.

We have to be very specific and clear about our concepts.  Board exams demand revision and practice. Most of the students keep the major portion of syllabus for the last days and hence don't get enough time for revision.

Pertaining to board exams, the course books are the best.  The language is easy to comprehend and retain. Moreover refreshers should be referred to for more details.

Revising the syllabus again and again helps to have a good hold over the topic. I wrapped up my syllabus by the end of November so I had about 2 months to revise before external exams began.

Answer those questions first which you know properly. Don't waste your time on the ones you're unable to recall. Mark them and think about them after you finish the rest. Most importantly, keep your eyes on the watch.

Be relaxed and don't panic. Read each and every question carefully and then answer. Make your answers as well as paper presentable.

Work hard and stick to your goals.  Don't let anything distract you. Manage your time well and be sincere to yourself.
