The Girl who scored 499/500 in Class X board exams and is a superb Pianist

 India’s youngest female pianist with Trinity certificate achieves 499/500 marks in CBSE Class 10 result

Fifteen-year-old student and pianist from Noida, Sara Kothari, has become one of the youngest girls in India to be a Licentiate of Trinity College, London (LTCL piano). The Licentiate examination of Trinity College is a Level 6 diploma in music performance and is equivalent to the final year of an undergraduate degree. Trinity’s Performance Diplomas are the most advanced performance awards taking musicians up to a professional standard of performance and musical understanding.

Sara started learning to play the piano at the age of 6. An incredibly passionate and talented pianist, she finds immense pleasure in learning new musically and technically challenging pieces. She absolutely loves the works of Sergei Rachmaninoff, Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt and Claude Debussy and Frédéric Chopin's "noble, poetic and dramatic" music. Sara aims to build virtuosity through her commitment and love for music.

She is currently a student of Prof. Heribert Koch. Prof. Koch is a well-known and highly respected pedagogue, concert pianist, and adjudicator.

​Sara cleared her Grade 8 piano exam from Trinity College London with distinction in 2018 at the age of 12. She became an Associate of Trinity College London (ATCL Piano) in June 2019 at the age of 13. Taking her musical education forward, she became a Licentiate of Trinity College London (LTCL Piano) in 2021 at the age of 15. The LTCL examination is a Level 6 Diploma in Music performance and is equivalent to the final year of an undergraduate degree.

Performance Diplomas of Trinity College London are one of the most advanced performance awards taking musicians up to a professional standard of performance and musical understanding. Sara is the youngest ATCL & LTCL certified female pianist in India, as confirmed by India Book of Records and the High Range Book of Records.

Sara recently got accepted into the Juilliard Summer Performing Arts Program and the Curtis Mentor Network Program 2021 which will start in July.

She is one of the four musicians across India to have been selected to perform in the Young Talent Concert Series organised by the Stop Gaps Cultural Academy, Mumbai.

“Physics and French are my favourite subjects. For me, piano playing is a way to de-stress. While everything shifted to online mode amid Covid, my studies and piano lessons were deeply impacted. But, reading new concepts in quantum physics, time travel and listening to maestros kept me going through the tough times,” says Sara

Sara, a science enthusiast and winner of the Australian National Chemistry Quiz (ANCQ), wants to pursue engineering at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in the future. “I would also love to learn violin and pursue dual masters in music abroad. Along with being an engineer, I want to become a concert pianist,” she said.

Sara is the co-founder and CFO of WhyQ. WhyQ is a WhatsApp chatbot based queue management solution for local stores ('kiranas') helping people practice safe social distancing during the pandemic. This startup was ideated through the TiE Young Entrepreneurship Program (TYE). The WhyQ team won the regional first prize at the Delhi chapter of TiE. At the global finals hosted by TiE Seattle, WhyQ won the 'Best Execution' and 'Best Pitch' track awards. The chatbot helps you find the best time slot to come, arranges for your order to get assembled before you make it to the store, and gives shopkeepers predictive sales so that they can have a better inventory management system. WhyQ received in-kind support from Amazon Web Services provided to innovative and viable young startups. WhyQ also received in-kind support from Spanish SaaS company Landbot provided to sratups and ventures making a social impact . The team has received mentorship and guidance from Daniel McQuade, Rajan Anandan, Rimy Oberoi, Dhruv Shringi and other industry experts. The team also had the opportunity to work with 37 KrishnaMarche. The venture was supported by the MP and MLA of the area. The venture has been covered by many newspapers and national dailies.

CBSE Question Banks for Class X and XII Term I 2021-22

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to bifurcate the academic session into two terms not to put a lot of pressure on students and conduct extensive assessments. Each term will comprise 50 per cent of the entire syllabus. The first term will be held in November-December, while the second term will be held in March-April.

According to some recent guidelines by the board, MCQs such as case-based MCQs and assertion-reasoning type MCQs will be included in the CBSE term-I examinations; term-2 will consist of diverse questions of varied typologies.

MCQs are often taken for granted by students, but such questions can quickly help you bag good marks. Every student needs to practice different MCQ-type questions to sail through the exams with an excellent score.

MCQ examinations assess your knowledge of a wide range of topics, typically more so than essay-style questions. You are expected to know not only the fundamentals of your subject but also the finer points. You're less inclined to "bluff in an MCQ" because the answers are either correct or incorrect.

Students anticipate spending less time on MCQs because the correct answer is almost always present. That could be true, but if you don't know the right answer, it won't help you.

It is a common misconception that MCQ exams can only be used to examine fundamental concepts and things. Wrong, MCQs are well-designed to elicit very detailed knowledge from a wide range of topic matter. Your professor will put in the same effort to ask for a basic definition as if you ask for fine details.

MCQs that come in board exam will only be from the curriculum or NCERT textbook. Any line in NCERT can be made to be an MCQ question so it’s very important to read NCERT extensively and mark the points where you think MCQs can be asked from. You can use a pencil to write probable questions on the sides of the paragraph that you think can be asked from a given topic.

By studying the pattern of MCQs, we can classify them on the following basis – formula based, definition based, reasoning based so it’s important that you leave no stone unturned. Multiple choice questions have only one correct option in the board exams while in some entrance exams there are MCQs having multiple correct answers as well. So it’s always better to read the instructions properly before attempting MCQs in any exam.

Tackling MCQs

When there is no negative marking in an exam like in CBSE boards, one should always attempt MCQ even if you don’t have any idea about the question. But you should refrain from such feat in entrance tests because most such exams have 25 per cent negative marking. Suppose you are awarded 4 marks for a correct answer and 1 mark gets deducted for the wrong answer then you need to realise that you’re not losing just 1 mark, you are actually losing 5 marks( 1 for negative marking and 4 for an answer that you got wrong.)

Often, when you see the option that’s in your mind, you tend to be impulsive and mark it without even thinking twice or looking at other options once. This is the most common mistake that I have seen students make over the years. The best way to avoid mistakes is to read whole question and all the options patiently and then eliminate the options that can never be the right answer and eventually come to the final option which could be the right answer. With elimination you slowly increase your probability of being right from 0.25 to 1.

Preparing for assertion/ reason based questions

Assertion reason based questions are the most tricky questions that you will come across in the CBSE board exam. Unlike MCQs, these questions can only be asked from reasoning topics. If you have a good grasp of reasoning topics from NCERT, you can be assured of acing this section with ease.

Tackling assertion/ reason based questions

There are 4 options for Assertion(A)-Reason(R) questions –

1. Only(A) is true

2. Only (R) is true

3. Both are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

4. Both are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

You must first understand these options are listed in the correct order in which your brain should be thinking. We can only eliminate the first two options if both (A) and (R) is true and then the question becomes whether (R) is the correct explanation to (A) or not. Deciding between the last two options can only be done if you have conceptual knowledge of the topic.

While deciding between option 3 and 4, start with establishing a link of the assertion reason statements with your curriculum topics. Sometimes, these statements are from separate topics and there is no link between them. Hence, option 4 should be selected. When you are sure that both statements are from the same topic, then option 3 can be true.

Again, like to stress that attempting assertion reason questions successfully require a deeper understanding of topics so there is no real substitute for hard work. For more help, NCERT publishes its own NCERT Exemplar Problems which has MCQ and Assertion Reason questions with high difficulty level. It’s recommended that you first complete your NCERT textbook back exercise before starting exemplar problems.
