  • Getting straight-A's in school can feel like an impossible task, but most students are making it harder than it needs to be. If you're not doing as well as you want in school, the problem isn't always time or effort. Instead, it is often your strategies and your approach to studying that is failing you. Here are 5 reasons why you're not getting straight A's and what you should be doing instead.

    please don’t push yourself too much just to attain a 4.0- your mental health and well being should always be prioritized over a good grade

    As a straight A student, I can affirm that I am not smart, just hard working. I personally think that many people can be top 1 only if they exerted enough effort on their exams and activities. Be warned that maintaining these grades is twice as hard than when you get it the first time. I had experienced dozens of burn-outs from the schoolworks since I'm always the leader every group projects (which i hate the most 💀 i personally prefer individual projects) and it's really frustrating and will make you lose motivation in achieving good grades if your groupmates don't share the same mindset as you. Remember, don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but be afraid of having teammates like pigs. If you want to maintain your grade, then be ready to carry a heavy baggage.

      I'm a straight A student studying radiography. Currently my GPA is 3.8. My highschool GPA was 2.2 and I missed 2 and a half years of highschool, only had a GED, and missed 3 years of middle school. I have never been a 'star student.' Just because you didn't do well in the past doesn't mean you can't do well in the future. Knowing how to study something is very important.
      Take for example medical terminology. A person may try to memorise 3000+ illness and diseases and different terms. It's incredibly inefficient. However, if you take a different perspective you can see that about 2500 of those terms are all built using around 200 words 'parts.' If you memorise the parts, you can build the words so instead of 3000+ terms, you memorise about 700 instead. Which yes on the surface is a lot still but you don't need to know every single one of those.
      In terms of anatomy and physiology, you can memorise every bone and muscle or you can memorise how they're named. Take for example the "Iliotibial band" You can just memorise it as its location or you can take a moment to focus on how its named. Ilio-tibial. Tibial / tibia. It's connected to the tibia. Same goes for the sternocleidomastoid. Sternum, cleido (collarbone) tells you roughly where it connects.
      For me, a huge part of doing well in college is just learning how to learn the content. My first exams I take of any semester I do poorly on and I tend not to care.
      Then I look back and see what are the exams quizzing me on. Do I need to pay more attention to the theory? To the people who developed the theories? To the statistics shown? to hypothetical situations? Considering all of these helps me consolidate where my focus should be. Many classes also have a "competencies" list that tells you what the unit focuses on. Keep those aspects in mind while you're studying. If it says analyzing data as a competency, you'll be paying more attention to the statistics in the content. If it says critical thinking, you'll be focusing on a lot of open ended hypothetical questions. Learning how to learn is very essential. If you're struggling with learning, take a moment and figure out how your class is structured, the units you're going through, how it's put together, and how your unit you're working on is structured. Being organised in your approach is essential.

    As someone with a 4.0 GPA in college, I want to point out that I study VERY little. The critical thinking portion of the video, however, is very true. You must make a hard effort to do all the work for the week (don't fall behind and slack) and work hard to actually fully understand what you're taught. When you fully understand subjects, studying becomes less useful because you should already remember it quite well.

I've learned that I passively learn but I don't truly grasp the content until I Can educate someone on what I learn. I've made study groups solely for my benefit. I know that sounds selfish, but at the same time, it helps them too. I always preach on not burning out and sleeping enough otherwise we won't process the information properly.

    There’s a reason why many exam questions look intimidating -- they are meant for improving your critical thinking by forcing you to develop your own ideas before you compare your results to the answers. They are also usually timed, which allows stress buildup.
    Stress is actually a key component for better performance, as they force you to become more efficient in thinking. Remember, studying is not meant to be relaxed.

Instead after coming from school eat,rest for 30 minutes. Then go into an empty room, turn off all the devices, and start to study or like we say in my country throw your brain into the books. You can't get good grades by playing video games or going out in clubs all night. I am not intelligent (unlike my sister) but I force myself to study even unwillingly. No one is stuping but only without the desire to learn.

    School is just not for me. It's making me feel useless. All of my "efforts" in studying nonstop does NOT help. It's making me feel stupid. I'm just not smart enough and I wish I was so that my parents could be proud of me. But unfortunately I have to be the dumbest one in every class.
    I always feel like I'm not cut out to be with my smart, rich, beautiful and kind friends. Hanging out with them definitely help me have at least some "decent" grades but it also hurts the way I'm just standing there while they were talking abt classes that I could never take because it's only for smart ppl. I have no choice but to just pretend to be happy and nothing's bothering me, I'll fake my smile and laugh so that they won't be worried and concerned. Also, I'm such a bad friend from blaming them for being perfect. Even tho it's all my fault.

    i have been a top student since the beginning until grade 11 where I started taking advanced courses, where is it hard to focus on one heavy subject and the rest of the subjects at once, mainting your time on how to distribute your study schedule is important in terms of distributing subjects may be one of the hardest challenges especially when you have high dreams and high minimum goals. at this point even you may not be able to study regularly on usually basis and you will experience some draw backs. take care from such threats, but something that you may not relise is that usually taking breaks while studying by looking for other useful yet entertaining resources may come in handy as it will give you a wide library to base answers on and maybe by chance you may even take these resources academically later on if they are related to the topic. knowledge is never a waste.

    I always see my classmates working way harder, rather than smarter. If you're learning about a topic, ask questions and if you are able to answer all of them AND answer teacher's questions, you've learned it. Some questions I ask: where do I use this? How does it work/main principles, can I invert it/reverse it?, what is a base and what factors are interchangeable? What is the most simple explanation for this phenomena? and etc.

I am first year medical student but I fear one thing "what if my strategy is not good and I don't get good grades like I used to" ...I have got good grades in my life by sacrificing most of my eye sight, my eyesight is -7.00 weak and I was always indulged myself in studies most of my time i never got any chance to play sports or to be good in any physical activity, I haven't explored any talent in me except studying and I don't want to be like this anymore....in few years I will be a doctor and of course my patients won't ask me my GPA, they will trust me with their lives ....I want to be good at communicating and learning ...it's getting difficult for me to maintain my schedule ...you know getting home at 4pm from university and sleeping early to wake up early for university..I hope I will be able to manage

    If you’re not getting straight A’s, GOOD! Being that 100% “perfect” student is terrible because you throw away your life to get those scores, and they genuinely mean nothing. I got an A in engineering yet I don’t know a dang thing about it- I got a C in English and I love to write. Don’t focus too much on grades, your GPA is pointless and stupid, a number or letter will never determine your intelligence and how good you are at something. I am one of the best workers at my job, because I know what I’m doing? No. Because I’m fast? No. Because I show up and try my absolute best? Yes! Just try, don’t sweat the small stuff like grades or GPA. Is getting an A nice? Ye, but it’s not everything- remember to have fun and be yourself

    School as it was designed hundreds of years ago recognises that its grading system is not based on intelligence, knowledge or competence, but it is intended to grade performance level fit for companies that require jobs with people skilled enough to replicate and repeat certain tasks over and over and maintain its perfection up to its standards.

    I got a 3.95 GPA. But I highly recommend anyone to take care of themselves & be happy first before chasing after a high GPA. GPA only matters for graduate education after your bachelor's degree. Out in the real career world, no one cares about your GPA. I wish I spent my time being more happy, relaxed, & having a better balance, rather than chasing after a high GPA.

    The very last reason has to be the reason why I was struggling harder with math in high school than I was in middle school. I got to high school and instantly developed this mentality that I was going to fail math anyway, so I shouldn't even feel bad whenever I saw my progress report. I'm now a college student, and I'm supposed to be taking a math course very soon. I'm hoping that I put forth the effort to passing the class as I've tried my best with previous classes I thought I was gonna bomb.

I usually do well but i have been so ineffiecient with my studying and the pressure and the constant tests have been strressing me out and i ended up telling myself to give up. This semester im planning to try new study habits as soon as possible because this is a crucial year and i really dont want to mess this up even more. I wanted to go to Colombia but now i dont even think thats possible; ill still try to do better even if it doesnt happen

    I'm not in medical school, yet, but I am in school (again). Getting mostly A's but I've also gotten some recent B's. Part of my problem is that I also work more than full-time in healthcare. Work takes time, which is tme NOT spent studying and sleeping. Sometimes I come home so tired, that I cannot study much before falling asleep. I once bombed a final exam in a science course because I went into the exam without any sleep, staying up all night studying after having worked the previous day. That bomb also ruined my grade in the class (I got a B). I have tried using Anki's and flashcards to study, but it takes a long time to turn material from textbooks, lectures, and slides into questions. And then, how do I know if I am creating the right or proper questions, i.e. how do I know how to write the flashcards correctly with the correct wording? Another issue is sleep. I agree that sleep is needed to consolidate learning and memory, getting sleep takes time away from making learning tools.

    • @5tarJan3

I don’t have to work hard in Highschool to get A’s in my classes but I do because I want to be a doctor so I have 8 years of school after Highschool and in those courses, being smart isn’t enough. It’s so important to develop good study habits and learn to grind. For me, sports like football and wrestling teach me to work harder.

    As a person who has always had straight a's, its not worth it bro. I swear to god, like the only time it is acceptable to have a lower grade when compared to last year, is if there is a change in the environment. For example, you change schools, or you kept getting sick. Otherwise you have to be able to either get the same score as last year or higher. So like your score should never go down and when it goes up it stays that way. I'm Asian, and I do not know much of American culture but there is this thing called tutors after school. I don't know how common it is in other states, but its pretty common in my school, and I have been begging my mom for a tutor since grade 7, but she insisted I didn't need it. My average grade is 95, its an A but its not accomplishing enough.
