Message from the Author
What inspired me to write this book.
From the time I was a kid in school, I have observed so many of my classmates struggling with their examinations. Anxiety, coupled with fear of failure devastated their lives. Later on in life, I too experienced many failures in my professional examinations. Somehow, I managed to succeed after repeated attempts.
Having successfully completed my CIMA, and later a MBA,I interviewed many students who passed their examinations in their first attempt and with flying colors. Majority of them were ordinary human beings with average intellect who achieved extraordinary feat through sheer dedication, courage and commitment. This book is based on the study techniques and revelations made by them, as to what brought them success.
Henceforth, this book will give you insights into successful study techniques. By using them effectively and candidly, you will definitely be able to improve your performance at the examinations. Most of the techniques are based on what you might already know, but fail to practice and of course common sense, the most uncommon thing in the world.
Success is not a magic word. There is NO magic in success. It is something which is within your reach and attainable, given, you possess the correct recipe. All you need is a recipe with a blend of three main ingredients, namely the DESIRE, WILL and the EFFORT, flavored by a few sub ingredients, which you will confirm as you read along.

Pre-requisites/ ingredients
DESIRE
DESIRE is the first .It is like a fire. May be that is why some call it BURNING DESIRE.
No matter what you want in life, DESIRE to have it, is the primary requirement. DESIRE to fight against all odds, and to rise above all painful circumstances in order to achieve what you want, is the main ingredient in the recipe for SUCCESS. If you have been to a sale where antiques are being auctioned, you would have observed the auctioneer challenge the audience to bid for a certain item until its price reaches a point where none of the bidders in the audience thinks it is worth more than the PRICE quoted by the last bidder, before the fall of the hammer. The concept at an auction is simple. A bidder will bid for an item only up to the point where the VALUE of the item for him or her is more than the price he or she is willing to pay for the item. That is the UPPER LIMIT of his or her DESIRE to possess the item in question. Likewise, when you decide to embark on the task of sitting an examination, you have
