TOPPER?S VOICE- II
MASHAAL DHIR (TOPPER CBSE AND BHU, 2ND RANK IN AIIMS)
Mashaal used to believe that toppers have extra ordinary intelligence. But now he thinks that they are just ordinary students who have worked hard and sincerely to achieve their goal. An NTSE scholarship holder Mashaal believes success has no secrets. ?Hardwork, sincerity and regularity in my efforts, help of teachers, parents and guidance of my elder sister has brought me success? says Mashaal. His planning for the exams, as described by him goes like this:
?I think whatever you study in your text books is a step towards entrance exams. But my real preparation started in Oct. 2000 when I was in class 12th. I didn?t make any detailed plans. But I decided to do my text books thoroughly first. I had completed my syllabus in September and I revised that thoroughly. After that I moved to objectives. I used to give 2-3 hrs on school days. But on holidays I devoted more time on studies. I gave more weightage to biology. Because the subject is very vast and you cant remember until you give frequent revisions. I made complete study of all topics. I didn?t do anything new after my board exams and my strategy was to revise everything which I had studied because revision is a must?
