Hey y'all,
I didn't get in this year.. but i'm moving on with a positive attitude! (Or at least, that is what i am trying to do.)
I'm already preparing hard for SEHS next year, and am prudent of the mistakes I have previously made. Such as, not practicing vocabulary or doing enough mock tests to gain a feel of the actual test. I personally believe that doing more mock tests can really help, as they simulate the exam under time pressure. No wonder I was sweating my ass off in the actual exam. I got BA in reading comprehension, so that's the area I am focusing on the most. And I got averages in all other subjects apart from writing where I got top 20%. I definitely think that building a proper study routine enhances and improves the chances of your overall success. Because rather than relying on pure motivation to study, (which lacks clarity and consistency) you build a concrete plan of action, which you will follow each day. But regardless of my thoughts, do what works best for you! And I hope you all succeed in your paths and please give me and others like me some tips!
