ISC topper with 99.5%

A 99.5 for each penny record holder in the Class 12 (Indian School Certificate Board), topper Rohan Sampath does not endeavor to exceed expectations just in scholastics. 

This youngster is a game even on the tennis court. When he doesn't secure scores there, he just grins and takes rout in his step. "Rout has helped me assemble my character," says this Indian-conceived understudy of Dubai Modern High School. 

Over a long separation phonecall, Rohan shared his triumphant tips on the most proficient method to comprehend Gauss' Law Derivation and that's only the tip of the iceberg. What's more, even via telephone, one could sense the development and quietude behind the lively voice. 

You have set an unequaled record for the most astounding ever score at the Indian School Certificate (ISC) Exam Board. 

when we saw the outcomes on the web, my folks and I were in finished mistrust. I thought there more likely than not been some typographical blunder. 

The following day, when my chief let us know about the record, "our" accomplishment gradually began soaking in; "Our" in light of the fact that, such a large amount of the credit for this deed really goes to other individuals throughout my life. 

It is imperative to get the fundamental ideas right. In the event that you have clarity, you won't have the capacity to overlook those years after the fact. Case in point, in material science in a Gauss' Law Derivation, the Gaussian surface is the essential idea. Thus, to comprehend the idea better one needs to make sense of what shape the surface will take, what might be the symmetry and encased charge and so forth. 

I imagine the fundamental ideas toward the end of each class. In the event that there is a chart on optics, or a diagram in financial matters that has quite recently been secured, I picture and stamp each imperative edge, line section/maxima, slant and so forth. 

I additionally broke down the inquiry papers of recent years. I didn't compose the answers however simply saw the themes. By watching the examples, you will understand that, for instance, Question 4 on a Math paper will dependably be an inquiry on trigonometry. This is a piece of considering shrewd. You can stand to avoid a section you aren't happy with, and still top the paper, on the off chance that you comprehend the example. 

My folks' state of mind was extremely useful. They never put weight on me for contemplating and gave me enough slack to play. I think this disposition is more essential than sitting with the tyke and making him study one additional section. 

My school is an Indian School and it has safeguarded Indian qualities. It additionally gives us introduction to different societies. I will credit the school for consolidating best of both the universes. 

What keeps you inspired? 

Verbal confrontation, swimming and tennis. I was president of the debating society in my school. I spoke to UAE in Scotland a year ago. I have stowed a couple of awards in swimming. 

I have been playing tennis for six to seven years now. These exercises keep me roused. Playing with my kin invigorates me as well. 

We heard you are gathering your packs for Stanford? 

I had connected to and was acknowledged by three colleges - Stanford, Yale and Berkeley, University of California. I have picked Stanford. Following two years I will choose whether to major in financial aspects or designing.
