I am Sherif Alaa, an Environmental Civil Engineer. During my study as an IGCSE and Engineering student, I realised the gap between understanding and exam solving. While trying to do both, there were always be a trade-off. However, by the time I found that this could be optimised by studying techniques and practising skills. I decided to try to share some of this tips for the students at the core level to help them explore their capabilities and organise their thoughts before pursing a specific career.
