SCORE WELL IN EXAMS WITHOUT STUDYING DAY AND NIGHT!

How to score well in exams without studying for hours? 

I used to be one of the toppers in school. My academic successes never really came from sitting and studying for hours. I used to have a lot of fun, participate in every cultural event that came along, and still manage to score somewhere around 90 to 95 percent every time. So what actually worked for me?

 

 

1. Listening skill : I am a great listener. And I pay attention to details. And I have this tendency to remember everything that went into my ears earlier. 
2. Quick grasping : I can easily grasp the content quickly. This helped me with last-minute studying during exams. Once I study something thoroughly, I manage to hold it in my memory for a really long time.
3. Understanding : I never used to mug up the portions. I ask doubts, google the topics, see videos on YouTube, and understand each and every word and concept. 
4. Analysing: CBSE has been the master of asking tricky questions. I have managed to analyse them and come up with something relatable most of the time.
5. Writing : Last but not least, when it comes to writing, I have always been a natural. Grammar was never a problem for me, as I had the best teachers and mentors who made me understand and practice it well. Even before all these AI tools existed, I used to write well just with paper and a pen. My literature degree also came in handy. 

 So it was always my skills that helped me and made me score well. You are only going to remember a tiny portion of what you study in your books, but what really matters is how well you are developing your skills. Only they are going to help you land a good job or make a living for yourself. Trust me, all the skills you have developed are going to serve you in some way or another in the future. So chin up and have fun with your academics.
