‘Practice is the way to overcome fear’

Aaryan Suri, from the Science stream of the school, secured an enormous 98.2% in the examination. The school topper credits his school that played a pivotal role in his success. “Frequent examinations were conducted at regular intervals to prepare students for board exams. Teachers have always been helpful in clearing doubts and boosting self-confidence,” he highlights.

Aaryan secured 94 in English, 100 in Chemistry, 99 in Biology, 98 in Physics and 100 in Optional subject. He emphasised that even if he found some of the topics to be tough, he kept revising them at regular intervals until he was confident about them.

Explaining his CBSE Board Exam preparation strategy, the topper mentioned, “My approach was different for each subject. For Physics, I prioritised numerical portion over theory while it was the reverse in case of Biology. For Chemistry,  I first strengthened the theory portion and then the numericals. I used to study English and Optional subjects at regular intervals and more extensively prior to pre boards.” 

He finally shared, “The news of me being the topper filled my mind with elation and gratitude. My family and teachers were even happier. I am grateful.”

‘Stay consistent, set your targets right and realistic’

Recording the second highest in the school,Rehan Churra of Commerce stream scored a marvellous 96.6% in the CBSE Class 12 Board examination. He shared, “Throughout my academic journey, my study mantra revolved around consistency and understanding. Instead of rote memorisation, I focused on understanding the concepts. This not only made studying more interesting but also helped me in applying those concepts practically.I dedicated time to solving practical problems, case studies, and sample papers to enhance my problem-solving skills.”

He further added how consistent revision ensured that he retained the information for longer periods and helped him in understanding of the subjects. “Time management is the key in subjects especially like Accountancy to ensure you are practicing questions with a time limit,” he emphasised.  

Acknowledging how Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg school and his teachers played a crucial role in his preparation, he said, “Firstly, the curriculum  provided was comprehensive and aligned with the requirements of the board exams, ensuring that I covered all necessary topics in-depth. Secondly, the teaching methodology employed by my teachers was highly effective, which helped me understand complex concepts more easily.”

He further explained, “Additionally, my teachers were always approachable and willing to clarify any doubts or queries I had, both inside and outside the classroom. Their support and encouragement boosted my confidence and motivated me to strive for excellence.”

For Rehan, his parents have been his pillars of support throughout this  journey. “They’ve offered invaluable guidance and advice whenever I’ve faced challenges or difficult decisions. Whether it’s supporting me  or simply being there to listen and offer encouragement, my parents have played an indispensable role in my academic journey.”

Sharing his words of wisdom for the upcoming batch, “Stay consistent and set your targets right and realistic. In the end, it does not matter the number of hours you study but the amount of  ‘productive hours’ is what helps achieve results. Don’t let the pressure of the Board Examination affect you.”

Purva scored 100 in both History and Painting followed by 98 in Psychology, 92 in English and 90 in Economics. The topper explained that her study strategy from the beginning of class 12 was to revise everything that was taught in school on the same day at home.  “I divided my time equally for all the 5 subjects at home which helped me to score good marks in all the subjects. My study mantra was to prioritise my studies over anything else. I believe each day is a chance to work hard and get closer towards achieving your goal.”

She also explained, “While preparing I knew what my strengths and weaknesses were. So, I dedicated more time to my weak areas in my self study timetable. I took help from my teachers in clearing my doubts.”

Further, she explained, “All my teachers were very supportive and motivated me to give my best. Teachers always helped me clarify my doubts no matter the number of times I asked the same question. The teachers focused on concept clarity more than mere learning and that is what helped me the most to achieve this score.”

For the upcoming batch, Purva’s advice is, “Always stay focused to achieve your goal and never doubt your capabilities. You can achieve your dreams through hard work.”
