As a former international student in the USA, I've had my fair share of academic struggles. But with the right mindset and strategies, I was able to transform my grades from a C mean-grade and E in Math in Form 3 to a B+ mean-grade and a plain A in Math in KCSE. It's a journey I'd like to share with you, especially for those struggling form 4 students who are willing to work hard to ace KCSE.

Published on July 16, 2020, I was fortunate to have had more time to prepare for my exams, thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic. It's a blessing in disguise for those who needed more time to catch up.

So, here are my 7 steps to success:

  • Revising all your Form 1-3 notes is a mammoth effort, but it's essential to understand the foundation of the subjects you're studying.
  • Wake up latest 5 AM daily and study. There will be days you won't feel like waking up, but you have to.
  • Get at least 6 hours of sleep by going to bed latest 11 PM daily.
  • Make time for meals and avoid hanging around for too long.
  • Surround yourself with people who understand and support your goals.
  • Be prepared for criticism and negative comments from those who don't understand your goals.
  • Find a study buddy, especially for math and sciences, and revise together daily.

My mission is to help you unlock your potential and achieve your goals through my self-development training programs. You can learn more about my company's amazing programs at www.appstecamerica.com or www.successwithbobmwiti.com.
