Some believe that discipline, rather than motivation, is the key to academic success as it requires willpower, sticking to a schedule, prioritising study, sacrifice and consistent effort. Discipline is therefore the key to long-term success in exams by setting a schedule, avoiding distractions and developing good habits to achieve your goals. Performing well requires commitment, hard work and a willingness to learn and adapt, and continuous improvement can only be achieved by seeking feedback, reflecting on your performance and focusing on areas that need improvement. Success requires consistent effort, hard work, discipline, attention to detail, active learning and continuous improvement.
