A CROSS section of students who won awards for academic excellence shared that concentrating in studies while in the classroom, revision of past years’ papers and reciting prayers to get blessings from Allah the Almighty are crucial ingredients for academic success.
They were talking to the Sunday Bulletin on the sidelines of the Excellence Awards presentation to some 887 primary and secondary students from public and private schools yesterday at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Berakas.
Mohd Fikri bin Haji Ali from Paduka Seri Begawan Sultan Science College (MSPSBS) attributed his success to paying attention in the classroom, doing what has been instructed by the teacher, revising past year papers and praying to Allah the Almighty.
“I scored three A*, five As and one B in last year’s GCE ‘O’ Level exam with an aggregate of nine. I aim to excel in the upcoming ‘A’ Level exam and get enrolled in a prestigious university. I would like to become an engineer in the future.”
Kon Jia Yee, also from MSPSBS, said, “I did a lot of past years’ papers and aim to do well in the upcoming ‘A’ Level exam. I hope to join a university later.”
