SIVAPRASAD

I work very hard but somehow I never managed to achieve the desired results in my semesters. And I used to wonder why. In fact, before I was to appear for my 12th Std board exams, I was nervous as hell. Just 6 or 7 months were left for the exams and I was still wondering with what’s wrong with my way of studies.

Then one day my uncle suggested a book called 10 Sutras for Sure-Shot Success in Exams. Well, frankly my first reaction was “Thanks but I don’t want to read another book. I can’t finish with the ones I am supposed to read anyway.”

I didn’t believe a book could guide me on how to achieve a higher rank. It kept lying on my rack for weeks. Then when one day I just picked it up on an impulse. I started flipping the pages reluctantly, but as I kept reading, I got more and more interested. In simple words, I just got hooked to it.

The book made me realize where I was going wrong. It taught me that hard work is one of the factors for success but working systematically is the key to excel in exams. I got to know my biggest flaw i.e. time management. I used to ponder over one topic for too long and never managed to give sufficient time to other topics.

The book emphasized on the importance of time management[http://www.pustakmahal.com/book/book/bid,,9325A], concentration improvement, relaxation techniques and many more other aspects to help prepare for exams without ever getting stressed out.

Having read that wonderful book, I am much more focused now and learnt the skills of utilizing time efficiently. The book is simple and provides easy to follow instructions. It’s a must read for any student
