Star Performers: ‘We improved by revising a little every day’
Two students from Apeejay School, Noida share that support and mentoring from teachers lead to their success
Good results are built on small, repeated actions rather than sudden bursts of effort. Staying regular with studies, seeking clarity, and managing exam pressure all play a role. Meet two students from Apeejay School, Noida, (academic year 2025-26): Vanya Gangal, and Aishi Choudhary, who translate these habits into successful outcomes.
Vanya, on the other hand, realised that how one studies matters as much as how much one studies. “I prefer starting with the toughest topics because once those are done, everything else feels more manageable. One habit that truly worked for me was creating a one-page summary after every chapter. It helped me organise my thoughts and made revision much quicker. I did not believe in fixed study hours. I focused more on what needed to be covered each day and adjusted my time accordingly,” she said.
Balancing studies with activities was not always easy, but she managed it through clear timetables and focused sessions. When I studied, I studied. When I took part in sports or hobbies, I stayed present there. Looking back, I feel I could have improved my focus. My teachers played a strong role in my journey. They supported me, checked my understanding, and guided me whenever I needed help,” she added.
For Aishi, consistency made the biggest difference. I made it a habit to review my notes after class, even if only for a short time. This helped me stay connected with what I was learning every day and reduced the pressure before exams. I also started solving past papers, and that became a turning point. When I could answer questions without referring back to my notes, I felt more confident in my understanding,” she shared.
She also worked on reducing distractions by studying in short, focused sessions and keeping away from mobile. “It was not always perfect, but it helped me stay on track. I found certain topics, like simple interest, especially enjoyable because they felt practical and easy to understand once the concept was clear. That made studying feel less like a task and more like something I genuinely enjoyed doing,” she said in conclusion.
