In some contexts, family obligations may limit study time, while in others, strong familial support can foster determination. Understanding these socio-cultural dynamics is crucial for women aspirants as they navigate challenges specifically related to gender. Creating inclusive study environments and emphasizing the importance of mentorship can empower women to overcome barriers, ultimately enhancing their preparation process.
