is focused, taking deep breaths, and answering questions confidently. Student 2,

around helplessly and panicking.) Student 2 whispers…

Student 2: Eh-eh! What is this? Where these questions come from? (glances over at Student 1,
who is confidently writing) And how she know all dem answers?? Man, I shoulda at least open
de book, she sure she teach we this?

Student 2 continues to struggle in the exam not knowing what to write, while Jaliyah
effortlessly breezes through the paper until the exam is finished.

Teacher: The test is over, please put all pens down.

After she picks up the paper and asks the class

Teacher : so, how was the test?

Student 2 : Miss!!! What madness you put on that paper?? I swear you didn’t teach us anything

embarrassed.)

Student 2:Hey, congrats . (sighs) i didn’t do that well nah, i really need some help. How you
manage to get top marks? You have magic powers or something?

Jaliyah: (laughing) Magic powers? Nah, i just studied from early and prepared for my exams. I
made a plan. Every day, I study one topic. Small steps, yuh know? By the end, I was ready! i
took 10-20 minute study sessions everyday making my studies manageable

Student 2: (nodding, looking regretful) I was so busy partyin’, I didn’t even touch de books. All I
know right now is de lyrics for every song, and clearly that didn’t help me pass maths!
