A student at N. Bakogiannis Schools is preparing to make her dream a reality, ranking among the top students in Greece based on her exceptional test scores.

Her name is Ioanna Papakosta from Larissa, who excelled in this year’s national exams and, having earned 19,780 points, has her sights set on Medical School.

She had expected a good result but not such a resounding success, as she points out on onlarissa.gr, specifically noting: “I expected to have done well, but I didn’t expect this score.” Our school prepared us well, and I’m truly grateful for that.

She also emphasized that systematic studying and exam preparation are the result of many years of effort, not just one school year.

She then briefly described her daily routine during the many months of exam preparation, noting that: Systematic studying definitely helps, but on Saturdays you need to get out and socialize with friends.

As for choosing which school she’ll attend starting this fall, it was a foregone conclusion, since she knew from a very young age what career she wanted to pursue. The only thing she hasn’t decided yet is whether this new chapter in her life will take place in Athens or Thessaloniki.

This distinction undoubtedly marks an important chapter in the history of the N. Bagogiannis Schools, but at the same time, it sends a strong message that hard work and systematic studying can be decisive factors for success.
