Meet three such students of Apeejay Svran Global in Faridabad Sector 21-D who brought accolades to the school – Aditi Jain, Tannu Bansal, and Puneet Garg. These students showed first-hand how dedicated hard work leads to success.

Speaking about her overall aggregate of 94 per cent, Aditi said that she is happy her expectations were met and she strives to achieve even more in her class 12 Board exams. “I scored a 99 in English, centum in Sanskrit, 85 in Social Studies, 90 in Science, and 95 in Math. I decided not to opt for the sixth subject,” the student who is now in class XI shared and added that the only secret behind her success is consistency in her studies.

“There is no secret, but I was consistent throughout the year. I did not skip even a day of study. I revised all my notes daily. The teachers were a great help as well. All the teachers were always there whenever I approached them and solved all the doubts. They organised extra sessions, particularly for children who did not understand certain chapters. Even when the students who were not as bright approached them, they never refused and always were there for them,” the achiever shared who has taken up Commerce.

Her exam strategy was to focus on solving the previous year’s question papers and revising what had to be done. “Also, I never attempted the question paper the way like from the back. I always started from the beginning – going from Section A to Section B, and so forth. Following this pattern helped me focus better. For example, if I was doing MCQs, I focused solely on MCQs then. Gradually the length of the answers would decrease and my mind would be able to recapitulate,” Aditi, who wants to pursue animation, said.

Tannu, who scored an aggregate of 93.4 per cent, is happy with her result though she was expecting 95 per cent. “Still I am thrilled with the result. I scored 91 in Math, 87 in Science, 98 in Hindi, 91 in Social Studies, and 94 in Computer Application. I followed a simple rule. I used to study one-and-a-half hours for subjects like Math and Science; for English and Hindi, it was around an hour daily. I also picked up speed around September and maintained momentum, “the student, who is now in class XI, said.

Her strategy for attempting the question paper was, to begin with, MCQs, followed by short and then long answer questions. “I used to also draw a line after each answer. It made the answer sheet look neater and for the examiner to know that the questions had been answered,” Tannu shared and added that her great result would not have been possible without the mentoring of the teachers.

“Our Math teacher used to give us sample papers to solve. In Science, we did sample papers in class; those sent over WhatsApp were also solved,” she said and attributes her success to hard work and practice.

Being anxious on the first day of the exam is commonplace and Tannu was no different. “I was nervous since I didn’t know how to fill the OMR sheet. But luckily the examiners were helpful and I was able to write my answers with little stress,” she recalled and said that her parents were her motivators.

“They used to encourage and guide me. They were sure that I would get around 95 per cent. So, they are happy that I got there,” Tannu, who has taken up Science (Non-medical), said.

Puneet, who scored an aggregate of 92.8 per cent, also made his school and parents proud. He scored 99 in English, 95 in Social Science, 97 in Hindi, and 92 in Computer Application.
