To achieve top grades that all learners aspire for, a student has to prepare well ahead of time as nothing happens out of sheer stroke of luck.
Start off by developing the willpower to excel. Majority of world problems are solved because a person or a group of people showed genuine interest in accomplishing a task. Once the interest is apparent, it will act as the drive to your ambitions of excelling in your exams.
With so much to engage yourself with in life, you need to define how you will go about accomplishing your academic work. You will need to set aside time — away from school — that you can use to go through what you have covered with your teacher, as well as enhance your understanding of different concepts.
As you endeavour to excel, focus on honestly making it: any thoughts of cheating during examinations or getting assistance of whatever kind that would leverage the field to your benefit compared to your classmates will likely serve against you. One, it will eat away on your belief for your own excellence. Two, if caught, you stand losing even the little you have worked for.
It is also important to be disciplined at a personal level. Good ethics, while interacting with your teachers as well as peers. For instance, instead of spending your time making noise, it would be prudent to use that time going through previous lessons taught.
As you accomplish all these, understand that learning is a journey that you ought to travel with peers with similar dreams.
As such, you will need to be in a group of classmates that assists each other with studying and skills for better understanding.
