At Apeejay School, Noida, academic distinction is not just a tradition—it’s a mindset that students embrace wholeheartedly. The recent end-term results of Class 8-A reflect this spirit, with three bright achievers leading the way. From the academic year 2024-25, Rajlakshmi Pradhan, Dhriti Sharma and Manvi Gupta secured the top positions in their class, and in a candid chat, they shared their study habits, exam tips, favourite subjects and the invaluable role their teachers played in their success.
Rajlakshmi Pradhan
He credits her success to thorough revision and focused learning. “I paid close attention to school lectures and revised each topic multiple times,” shared Rajlakshmi Pradhan who scored marvellous marks in Class 8 exams. “English and Sanskrit were the easiest and the most enjoyable, while Social Studies posed a bit of a challenge.” She also highlighted the strong support system at school. “Our teachers guided us so well,” she said. Her message for fellow students? “Work hard, do well—and don’t forget to have fun!”
Dhriti Sharma
This star performer described her exam preparation as rigorous but rewarding. “It was tough,” Dhriti admitted. “I studied during the day, revised each topic at least three times, and at night, I would memorise everything.” She further added Maths and Sanskrit were the most enjoyable, but Social Studies required extra effort due to its factual content. Her mantra: “Concentrate fully during exams and avoid distractions.” She added, “Our school teachers supported us so much, I didn’t feel any stress.”
Manvi Gupta
Another star performer Manvi Gupta adopted a balanced approach to her studies. “Social Studies was definitely the toughest subject for me, while Sanskrit was the most fun and easiest,” she remarked. “I made sure to revise regularly and took short breaks while studying to stay refreshed.” Her advice to fellow students: “Study consistently, take short breaks, and trust your teachers—they really do build your confidence.”
Together, these young achievers are a testament to the power of preparation, school support and self-discipline. Their insights serve as valuable guidance for students aiming high in their academic journeys.
