Your strategy for HSSC exam…
None, as I study as a hobby. Studying every day with clear concepts gets one ready for an exam at any point of time. I would collect a lot of information on textual concepts which helped me in the board exam and mainly in the competitive CPT that followed.
One thing I stressed on was improving the legibility and perfection in presentation of the exam papers.
Balancing studies and free time...
I played table tennis regularly until the prelims, watched the news and football matches, enjoyed Sunday marketing with my mother and evening family walks to the beach. In between were family get-togethers and movies. I was lucky to not be a student of the most commonly chosen science stream, so I stayed away from social pressure and worries, and enjoyed a very casual approach to Class 12.
You participated in extracurricular activities…
And won prizes in many inter-college elocution competitions. I was a first prize winner at debates, an accountancy quiz, and also at various general knowledge quiz competitions.
