有种超现实感，我非常自豪，有些惊喜，也深感满足，因为以往的付出终于得到了回报。 

A

一开始，是我的妈妈给了我学习的动力。她鼓励我努力学习数学，希望我能获得剑桥一所著名私立学校的学位。在实现这个目标之后，我看到自己取得的巨大进步，于是继续投入学习中。可见，对学习投入的多少直接影响着我解决问题的能力。简言之，我的动力既来自于父母的支持，也来自于我争强好胜的天性。 

A

备考期间，我做了大量练习，做了很多道题和真题。我没有去死记硬背公式，而是专心地去深入理解基本概念。关键是要有恒心，我每天都会做练习，在考前的大部分假期里做了海量的试卷和练习。 

A

我没有设定严格的时间表，但每天放学后都会花几个小时来学习。我会认真且高效地完成每一份真题，并留足时间多次回顾自己的试卷。在考前的假期里，我完成了大约30份真题，应试技能得到大幅提升。 

A

当然遇到过。有时候，有些问题一开始很难解，这时我会花至少10到15分钟来试着自己解决问题，之后再向同学或老师寻求帮助。另一个我经常面临的挑战是，不论检查多少遍，我总会在练习考试中犯些粗心的错误。后来我发现，考前一晚一定要保证充足的睡眠，这样才能避免在考试中粗心大意，最终提高考试的总体表现。  

A

至关重要。我的数学老师王老师是我学术生涯中十分重要的人，她总是非常积极地支持我走向成功。无论是通过难度很高的考试还是完成大量的作业，王老师总是激励着我不断突破自我。她教我学习IGCSE数学课程，在我十一年级的时候继续教我学习进阶数学。在她的指导下，我渴望着进一步学习数学、修读A Level数学课程。

惠灵顿赋予我丰富多彩的支持型学习环境，极大地支持着我实现学术卓越。学校格外重视并鼓励学生实现学术成就，让我能进一步探索兴趣爱好。我可以自信地说，没有他们，我就不可能取得这样的成就。

我钦佩的一位数学家是艾伦·图灵，他因在二战期间对计算机科学和密码学的开创性贡献而举世闻名。我是看了电影《模仿游戏》后才了解到他的，这部电影描绘了他破译恩尼格码密码的故事。

图灵的创新思维和解决问题的能力不仅大大推进了数学和计算机科学领域的发展，还为盟军在二战中的胜利做出了突出贡献。

我认为数学几乎是所有未来的职业的基础。数学训练的是逻辑思维，这是所有职业都需要的技能。数学能让我们更好地理解周围世界并将其分解为更易掌握的部分。

如今的世界对技术的依赖越来越强，所以扎实的数学基础变得尤为重要。无论是从事建筑、数据科学行业，还是软件开发等职业，数学技能在几乎所有的学习领域都是必不可少的。  

A

对于希望在考试中取得优异成绩的学生而言，一定要设定并坚持执行日常学习计划。让学习成为一种习惯，就不会出现因学习不规律而导致的拖延。

另一个同样重要的点，是要知道专注学习的时长与考试表现是直接成比例的。对于同一个科目，学习3小时和学习15小时的效果是截然不同的。日常学习计划也有助于培养长时间专注于课题学习的能力。

做真题的过程中，我们开始理解该学科，理解考试的逻辑，从而更好地参透题意、做出正确解答。

学术学习之外，我比较喜欢的是艺术创作。我一直都很热爱艺术，从很小的时候起就在定期画画了。来到中国后，我开始接受美术方面的训练，很幸运地遇到了一位优秀的老师，所以我的绘画技巧得到了显著提升。

除了艺术创作，我还喜欢在业余时间阅读小说，每天都会阅读至少半小时。 

A

我计划学习A Level数学和进阶数学，未来可能从事计算机科学领域的职业。我的目标是把自己的艺术创造力和兴趣与编程和数学结合起来。现在我还不太确定怎么把这两个截然不同的领域结合起来，但我非常期待在这两个领域中继续深造。 

A

我想向我的家人、老师和朋友表达诚挚的感谢，感谢他们在我的求学路上始终如一的支持。我的家人总是鼓励我突破自我、追求卓越，老师们为我提供了重要的指导。我还要衷心感谢我的朋友们，感谢他们始终在我身边激励我、启发我。我非常感谢每一位创造出追求卓越的良好学习氛围的人。

Learning that I had achieved the joint top score in the world for IGCSE mathematics was surreal. I felt immense pride, a bit of surprise, and deep satisfaction in knowing that my hard work had paid off.  

A

Initially my motivation came from my mum, who pushed me to excel in math to secure a place at a prestigious private school in Cambridge. After achieving that goal, I continued to push myself as I recognized the considerable progress I was making. It became clear that the effort I put into studying had a direct impact on my ability to solve problems. Overall, my motivation stems from both my parent’s support and my competitive nature.  

A

To prepare for the exam, I focused heavily on practice, completing as many questions and past papers as possible. Rather than relying on memorising formulas, I concentrated on developing a strong understanding of the underlying concepts. Consistency was key, as I practiced daily and spent the majority of my holiday prior to my exam doing numerous papers and exercises. 

A

While I did not follow a strict schedule, I made sure to dedicate a few hours each day after school to studying. I would work through each past paper carefully but efficiently, ensuring that I had enough time to review my paper multiple times. In total, I completed around 30 past papers during the holiday leading up to my exam, which significantly strengthened my exam techniques.   

A

Of course, there were moments where certain questions I struggled to solve right away. In these cases, I would spend at least 10-15 minutes trying to work through the problem myself before seeking help from classmates or teachers. Another challenge that I often faced was always making careless mistakes in my practice exams, despite checking through my answers many times. I later realized that getting sufficient sleep the night before made all the difference and helped me avoid these mistakes, as well as improved my overall performance.

The support and guidance provided by Wellington and my teachers has been crucial in helping me achieve academic excellence. My math teacher particularly, Miss Wang, has had an enormous impact on my academic journey and has always shown an incredible commitment towards my success. Whether through challenging tests or extensive homework, she constantly pushes me to go beyond my limits. She has not only taught me the IGCSE math curriculum but continues to teach me additional math now in year eleven. Because of her guidance, I look forward to studying further math and math in A-Level. 

Wellington has provided me with a supportive and enriching learning environment, playing a significant role in helping me achieve academic excellence. The school’s strong emphasis on academic success and encouragement has empowered me to explore my interests further. I can confidently say I would not have achieved the same results without them.

One mathematician I admire is Alain Turing, renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to computer science and cryptography during World War II. I initially found out about him through the film ‘The Imitation game,’ which depicts the story of him deciphering the Enigma code. Turing’s innovative thinking and problem-solving skills not only significantly advanced the field of mathematics and computer science, but also played a crucial role in the war effort.

I think that mathematics serves as the fundamental bases for nearly all future career opportunities. It trains you to think logically, a skill applicable across various professions. It is a subject that helps to understand the world around you better and be able to break it down into more manageable parts. As our world is increasingly relying on technology, a strong foundation in mathematics becomes even more crucial. Whether pursuing a career in architecture, data science, or software development, mathematical skills are essential in nearly all fields of study.

For pupils aiming to achieve high results in their exams, it is essential to establish a routine and then try to stick to it consistently. By making studying a habit, you can bypass much of the procrastination that occurs when you study at irregular intervals. 

It is also important to realize that the number of hours you devote to focused studying is directly proportional to how well you will do in the exam. Studying a subject for 3 hours is very different from studying it for 15 hours. This routine also develops your ability to stay focused on the topic for longer periods at a time. 

If you do past papers you begin to not only understand the subject, but the logic of the exams so you have a better understanding of what the questions are asking and how to answer them properly.

Outside of my academic studies, I mostly enjoy doing art. I have always had a deep passion for art and have been drawing regularly ever since I was little. Since coming to China, I started going to an art school where I fortunately had a great teacher and so was able to scale the technical aspects of my drawing dramatically. Beyond art, I also enjoy reading fiction in my spare time and try to read at least half an hour every day.  

A

I plan to take A-Level math and further math, and probably pursue a career in computer science. My goal is to combine my creativity and interest in art with coding and mathematics. At the moment, I am not entirely sure how these two widely different areas can be combined but I am eager to continue developing in both directions.

I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to my family, teachers, and friends for their unwavering support throughout my academic journey. My family has always encouraged me to push my limits and strive for excellence, while my teachers have provided me with significant guidance. I would also like to sincerely thank my friends for always being there to motivate and inspire me. I am truly thankful to everyone who has contributed to creating an environment conductive of learning and excelling for me.
