Well, I realized that the main reason why I was not getting the results in the past were due to my self-limiting beliefs.

During high school and college, my results were not impressive either. Hence I always think that I was not good academically. This belief sank in and carry through to my university's days.

I always thought that I was not smart at all, and I would lose out to those extremely talented foreign students in school. This kind of thinking brought me nowhere, because it's self-limiting as what I read on the self-improvements books.

I realized it's due to my thinking that is bringing me "sucky" results. So I changed the way I think instead. I now think that I am as smart as anybody in school. If I put in efforts, I will do extremely well. Those foreign students may get all As but I am superior in other ways such as high EQ.

These kind of new thinkings gave me new confidence and I began to gradually get As in my exams.
