One of the applicants who scored high in this year's graduation exams is Emiliya Qayıbova, an 11th-grade student at the Yuxarı Zeyxur village secondary school in Qusar.
Medianews.az reports that Emiliya, speaking to Lent.az, said that she never attended any extra classes but prepared on her own:
“I did not attend any extra classes outside of the university entrance exam subjects. I only prepared for the mathematics Olympiads. Since those are of a different content, they differ from the graduation exam. I just went to school every day. When I came home, I did the assignments. I had some hope of scoring 300 points, but I was not sure about a few open-ended questions.
I want to study in the field of computer science. However, my university choice is not definite yet. I will try to score 700. After completing my bachelor's in Azerbaijan, I plan to pursue my master's abroad.”
Emiliya noted that the formula for good studying is not much but quality studying:
“I studied as much as necessary each day. I had a phone at that time as well. I do not generally believe that not having a phone is a main factor for a high result. It is impossible to be without a phone nowadays. There were days when I spent most of my time on the phone. But when I say spent, it was purposeful use. I only listened to music during my free time. When I did not know a question or a topic or needed translation, I used artificial intelligence.”
