Question: It is confusing where to start while preparing for the exam. Time management is difficult. How to deal with it?
Prime Minister Answer: Time management is important not only for exams but also for your daily life. So sort out which of your tasks is most important. Observe how your mother manages her time at home. You can learn time management for your subject from them.
Question: How to avoid mistakes like copying in exam?
Prime Minister Answer: Some people find clever ways to cheat. But the same students will succeed if they use their time and creative energy in a good way. Hardworking students are the ones who suffer from cheating students. So no hardworking student should change course after seeing cheaters. I am sure your strength will carry you forward.
Question: Hard work, skillful work which is better?
Prime Minister Answer: You must have heard the story of the thirsty crow. Do you call the crow’s effort to quench its thirst hard work or skill? Some will work hard. Some work skillfully. But some will do nothing. If you put in hard work during exam time it will definitely pay off.
Question: Am I an average student? How should I focus on my studies?
Prime Minister Answer: Congratulations on knowing you are an average student. Many students tend to self-assess. If we know ourselves enough, we can try and achieve even the impossible.
Question: How to deal with criticism from the opposite party?
Prime Minister Answer: Criticism is the bedrock of democracy. That is the way to a successful democracy.
Question: How to stay away from social media, online games during exams?
