Read wide

Do not restrict your learning to things you’d have learnt in class. Read other materials! You can even ask your teacher if he or she has ideas of what other books you can read to improve your knowledge of a specific subject.
Sacrifice
This is a HUGE thing! Many a time there’s a sacrifice that comes with being top of your class. You can’t be a social butterfly week in and out and expect to ace your subject or be top of the class. This is NOT to say you shouldn’t have friends. This IS to say, focus on books, spend more time studying, and less socialising. There’s a time for everything.
Support
You’re going to have to tell bae, friends, and your parents that topping your class is an objective. This way, they are going to respect your decision it when you want to spend more time studying, and they’ll give you space.
