Don’t let work pile up when exams approach.

Rummana Noorain is a Class X student from Progress Global School. She is level-headed and knows what she wants.

What is your strategy for preparing for exams?

I go home and study the lessons as soon as they are taught so I have an easier time as exams approach. I put in two hours of study every day. Two months before exams I make a timetable and stick to it.

Do you have any tips for students who aspire to top like you in class?

It’s very important to take breaks while studying or else it will lead to tiredness. Make a study schedule and stick to it. Manage time well. Also, it’s important to divide your time between fun and studies. I don’t think of fun when I am studying and vice-versa.

What do you enjoy doing apart from academics?

I play tennis; read books; and, take part in elocutions.

What profession are you looking at after Class X?

I want to study chartered accountancy. I am good with Maths.
