Our Story
What made us start in the first place?
Our concerns
We dwelved deep to understand why some students could win but some couldn’t. We developed the success equation as follows :
Success in exam
=
Materials × Time ×
‘The X factor’
Materials :– In this information age, anyone can have access.
Time :– 24 hours – Fixed for all human beings on the Earth.
That brings us to the X Factor = ???
The first two factors being fixed leads us to the only variable in the equation – the most crucial third element – The ‘x factor’.
If you think that the ‘x factor’ is intelligence or IQ, you cannot be more wrong!
Then what is it? That’s what we set on to find out in our journey.
We consulted many troubled students to understand their major concerns .
Time mismanagement
Spending 5 to 6 years of the prime time of their youth just in exam preparation is not justified in any way.
Frustrations
It's quite common to see frustrated aspirants who get overwhelmed with the materials to be learnt with very less time in hand.
ineffective learning
Students study all day , work hard but with no proper system to understand the content better and to retain the what they learn.
distractions
Even worse, many students are unequipped to handle the social media distractions and thus have very less attention span.
We love to solve problems at their roots..
OUR guiding principles
Focus on 'how'
Right from childhood, the common phrases that the students are being told are “Focus.. Study.. Succeed”. But it is so surprising that they are never ever taught 'how to study' or 'how to focus'.
growth mindset
We at Perform trainers firmly believe that Learning, concentration etc. are just skills. So, like any other skill, they are also 100% learnable.
smart system
We very strongly think that it is a pure injustice to let the students face the whole preparation process all by themselves without proper system and smart strategies of learning.
So how did we manage to do it ?
our entire process : The 4 steps
Step 1: Survey
We started our work towards this interesting mission around 2017. We started with the survey first – circulating psychological questionnaires among aspirants of varieties of exams. We were curious to find their questions, needs, problems and areas where they might need help. We then chose the high rated, most demanded questions for our content.
Step 2 : Analysis of past toppers' strategies
Having done the basic survey with the aspirants, we then moved on to ex-aspirants – Both successful and unsuccessful ones.
We analysed the strategies of hundreds of toppers.
We also talked with many of those who could not make it .These two perspectives gave us a very clear insight into the entire process.
Step 3: Intensive literature research
We then did a tonne of literature research in cognitive psychology and behavioral science.
We researched academic papers and journals.
We kept track of new studies & experiments for scientifically proven techniques.
We read blogs from renowned academicians.
We analyzed articles of genius scientists.
We also referred to numerous books written by accredited authors and learning experts.
Right from the start, our team was instructed to keep track of all the sources they are referring to while creating the content. We are making it publicly available to you, in case you want to cross check the facts or to read more about things that interest you or even to help you appreciate the richness of our content.
Step 4 : APPLICATION AND FINE TUNING
Once we arrived at the treasure of the high utility scientifically proven strategies, we then experimented by applying them to our own students, finding out the application oriented practical issues and then we solved them accordingly, thus bringing out a fully refined and fine tuned content.
