Excerpts:
No duration, just target
I was expecting slightly lower score. I am glad I got 98.8%. Consistency is the key to success. You need to put in some time every day. I had no fixed duration for studying. I just set a target and studied till I met it. If it took two hours, okay. If it took eight, fine. I am a Bharatnatyam dancer and am also into writing. These two were my stress busters.

A Little Life
Most days, I studied for 5-6 hours. I feel that more than how many hours you study, what matters is that you study every single day. Watching reels and painting were my stress busters. I also read novels. A Little Life by American writer Hanya Yanagihara is the latest novel I have read.
