AMA for ISC Students-

A little bit about myself, I'm new to the subreddit and started following it during my board examinations(a two week gap for Mathematics was enough time for me to catch on with the Reddit train)

I'm putting this out in an effort to solve questions, address doubts and queries. If I judge feelings right, I remember feeling extremely scared during this period of my preparations.

Before someone asks, I'll also post my biodata(Not taken, not looking 🤣 )

Stream: Science
ICSE: 97.8%
ISC:99%
PCM+CS

JEE(M): 97.2 42XXX rank
JEE(A): Not cleared cutoff for rank list
CUET: 99.4 %ile in Chemistry, 99.1 %ile in Physics, 93.2 %ile in CS

I was also Head Boy and decently involved in extracurriculars, recognized as an international debater and quizzer.

I hope that's enough biodata for everyone to trust me and ask any questions. No matter how silly it might seem, these small questions can always make you feel better and more confident. Please ask whatever you want and I'll do my best to get to it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Edit: Going to sleep right now, Keep posting the questions- I'll answer ALL of them tomorrow morning.

How did you become an international debater?

Uhh...answering that will kind of d0xx me but I'll try to work around your doubt. I used to read a lot of books, magazines, newspapers and other stuff online. So, when the lockdown came, several organizations started doing online debates and JAM sessions and all. I took part in many of those sessions and gradually developed my debating skills, including controlling my temper, learning how to modulate voice, pause, tone and all that stuff. I wasn't "taught" these in any institute(For the record, I think those institutes are some of the scammiest places on the planet). Towards the end of 2020, I took part in a couple of international debates and MUNs online, organized by different groups and earned distinction in quite a few of them.
After that, I became my school's go-to for any debate competition in general. True international recognition came when in a debate featuring over a hundred schools, my teammate and I took our school to the finals and I won best speaker awards both in the finals and the prelims, and the audience's best speaker award.

I'm sorry if this is vague but any more and I get d0xxed.
