The matriculant warned that history is not about cramming. She said it requires deep understanding, critical thinking and knowledge of how to answer questions. Jiya emphasised that past papers are the best way to learn how to answer questions correctly. When answering questions based on sources, she recommended studying because the questions are not simple comprehension questions. For essays, she advised students to memorise them by preparing the text for each section ahead of time, since the key questions are the only thing that changes. Jiya said:

"If there is anyone who is telling you not to learn essays by heart and that you should know the information and make the essay in the exam, they are your biggest opp."
