- Be honest and take ownership of your past performance without blaming others.
- Highlight concrete steps you took to improve, like seeking feedback or changing study habits.
Common mistakes
- Don’t make excuses or blame external factors for your remediation.
- Avoid vague statements like 'I just studied harder'—be specific about what you did.
