To excel in exams, create a balanced study plan

I remember this student who underwent a miraculous metamorphosis. He was from a well-to-do family, loved to have fun and was considered a bit of a rebel in our first two years of high school — always inventing ways to break the rules.

School and education had no place in his game plan. His performance earned him a permanent position in the bottom quarter of the class. But when he got to Form Three, his father deserted his home and married another wife, completely severing ties with his family.
