2) I have exams coming and I make du'a after every salah and also recite rabbi inni maghluban fantassir along with my own efforts but I would like you to keep me in your du'as respected mufti.

Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

If there is sufficient time before the expiry time of Zuhar salah and you could perform you sunnat salah with your fardh salah, the you should perform your four rakaats sunnah before the fardh salah.

May Allah make you successful in your exams, Ameen.

And Allah knows best
