In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

I vividly remember that evening.

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
