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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Before test, 10 mins or 20 mins before i would read the 120 slides and go through it. On the first 3 slides, i would recall what i remember and then go on to the next slide. Im both visual and auditory learner but when im in a hurry, id prefer to picture those slides with my eyes and read them through my mind.

  • I watched all of these videos you've put out for studying before I went back to school. I started at 26 and now I'm a 28 year old. I study less and retain more thanks to what you're teaching. 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.

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.

I told them that they should walk in a circle 3 times around the room while praying and then crush their head to the wall. They started laughing. Then I said to them it is not a magical way. 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.

  • I have always been straight A+ student in my school and college and I was topper in my college with 96% aggregate and I have got admission in my favorite medical university. 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

  • 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.

  • This is a helpful video if my school just didn’t sabotage my school years for an example I am always in the classes below general classes I deserve higher, I am actually put in time look over things compared to most students in these classes, but I could never go up because once I am finally get moved to one the new classes always gave me work and topics I never went over in the other classes and now I don’t have enough time to recover from the marking period so at the end I always go back down to the other classes instead of general classes it’s just not fair how if I learned to more difficult stuff right away instead of the school screwing me over ever start to end of the mark period constantly moving me around it wasn’t possible to keep up since they taught completely different topics even though it’s the same type of class

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Certainly everything he said is undoubtedly true but talent is also at play here, as a straight A student athlete who sleeps on average about 6 -7 hours of sleep in high school, I'm doing pretty good for myself. I wouldn't go as far as to say that I'm anything special as my teammates do just as well on lower hours of sleep and in Ap courses. Of course, seeing as my team and I are extremely dedicated and persistent, attributes of character are also very important. People who easily tend to give up or find hidden meanings in studying are less likely to be efficient or productive in their learning. But in my opinion, using what this video prescribed with some mental will exercise will change your approach to education. What works for me are cold showers, exercise, and miles of running. Just doing cold immersion therapy is enough to make a mentality where if you want to do something, you'll do it without any mental obstacle because what's worse than willingly hopping into cold water? This helped me in my Junior year with my SAT where I got a 1550 score through sheer, constant studying. And I'm not in any way a smart person as I need to study even the simplest of things just to be caught up with my class, so anyone can do it.
