Star Performers: Smart study habits shaped their results

Every student approaches learning in their own way, yet certain patterns quietly repeat. Regular revision, clear understanding, and a composed mindset during exams often stand out. These elements tend to build a sense of control and quiet confidence. Meet three such students from Apeejay School, Noida (academic year 2025-26): Divit, Vedant Verma, and Aarya Om, who share their success journey.

Divit was quite excited when he saw his marks because he had worked consistently throughout the year. “My study routine was simple. I usually studied for two to three hours every day. I did not follow very long study hours, but I made sure I understood whatever I studied. My teachers helped me a lot. They explained everything clearly and made the revision very quick and easy. At home, whenever I got stuck, my parents supported me and helped me understand my doubts,” this student, now in Class VII, shared.

He found Math quite easy, but Hindi was a little difficult. To improve, he focused on the basics and practised regularly. “Before exams, I revised everything properly, even if it took more hours. I felt a little anxious initially, but soon I became confident,” he said, and added that he enjoys playing tennis and cricket and is interested in space and science.

Vedant, who enjoys playing tennis, dancing and tinkering on the computer, felt great to see his hard work pay off. “I enjoy Math and it is not difficult if we understand the concepts properly. It is not about memorising answers but about applying what we learn. The key to my success was staying focused and disciplined. I studied regularly, even during holidays and weekends, but I did not study for very long hours,” he shared and added that he was never afraid to ask questions. “My teachers were very supportive and cleared all my doubts. German was a little challenging for me, but I worked hard on it,” he said.

Aarya, who enjoys reading books and has read over 50 in the last year, shared that the biggest reason for her good performance was studying regularly throughout the year. “I did not follow any special method, but I made sure I stayed consistent with my studies. I did not leave everything for the last moment. At first, German felt new and a little difficult, but with practice, it became easy. Before exams, I completed my syllabus and revised all subjects properly, especially English and Hindi,” she said.

While she was nervous, as it was her first time in middle school exams, she stayed calm and confident. “My teachers guided me well, and I managed my studies even while travelling with my family,” she said in conclusion.
