So, how did he study to to be able to clear some of the toughest exams in the country?
- He is very disciplined. We have been married for a little less than a year and in those 300 days, he woke up at the same time every day, ate at the same time, went to play badminton everyday. He showered twice a day even in winters. Washed his own clothes and kept everything in place without fail each and every single day (I am just opposite)
- I have never seen him snoozing alarm even if he has to go for inspection early morning or late at night. Never heard him saying “I am tired”.
- He loves studying. He studies still. He teaches me maths because he loves it and he wanted to change my view that maths suck (I have actually started to like maths). He is not one of those who was pushed into engineering. He did it because he loves it.
So, interest and discipline are the most important qualities of a top student.
Next, he taught me the best way to memorise anything. Most of the top students study like this. I wish I knew this before, I would have been an officer myself. Well it is never too late. Anyway, what he did was
Whenever he picked up any new book.
- He skimmed through the entire book in 1–2 days and made a mind map of what he would be studying.
- He then divided all the topics as per his schedule so that he could complete it within the stipulated time frame. He set daily, weekly, monthly, yearly goal. The happiness of conquering a goal kept him motivated.
- After completing a topic, he scribbled down whatever he remembered or acted like he is explaining it to someone else. This made him realise the grey areas in his knowledge.
- He kept first hour of his new day for revising what he studied a day before. So, on day 2 he would quickly revise what he studied on day 1, on day 3, he would revise what he studied on day 1 and day 2, on the last day of the week he would revise the entire week's study.
- On the last day of the week, he solved questions related to the topics he completed in that week. He would do the same at the end of every month.
- He solved as many questions as he can and wrote as many tests as he can.
So, revise, revise, revise, write, write, write is his mantra.
His hard work, smartness and discipline paid off beautifully.
