Straight-A or first class students are not actually mini gods, they are normal students but with some distinctive reading, disciplines and study measures that gives them an upper hand in the class, and makes them pass their exams in flying colours.



Class

Be attentive
Be attentive in class.
This is one most important habit you should start inculcating. Learning must start from the class and not from a textbook before an examination. This also saves you from troubles of going through the introductory portions in the textbook. WRITE NOTES and I guarantee, this works.

Increase engagement - This isn't like photosynthesis; you don't just absorb knowledge by sitting in lecture. You are on an educational journey. This looks different for everyone, but try asking questions, taking notes and finding friends in classes who share a passion for the topics (and for education in general).


Courses

Know your course syllabi - If you want the best score over all of your classes (a.k.a. GPA) while inputting the lowest amount of effort, you need to know the weights of every graded piece of work. This is useful when reasoning around priorities. For example. While many would just stick to their gut reaction of doing the essay, you could do the homework assignment tonight and then do the essay tomorrow night and only lose ~1% of your overall course grade.

Take courses you are interested in (or at least learn why they are important/useful) - If you don't like the content, and can't find a way to make it relevant to you, you will find it difficult to be engaged. If the course isn't engaging to you, try spending some time on the side seeing where the course content is applicable in real life.

Study
Give enough time for study.
You might be interested in lot more things ,set your priorities. Sacrifice some social comfort and you will find lot more time to do lot more things.


What is your studying environment?This is incredibly important. A studying environment, as I'm defining it loosely here, includes where you study, who you study with, and what sort of time interval you study for.
Do you like quiet places or a little bit of background chatter, a sunny park or an enclosed room with little to no visual stimuli? Figure out which place works best for you.

Do not multi-task
Pick less. There are always so many things to do. Focusing on one work is far more productive than multi-tasking. Turn off all phone alerts, notifications once you sit to study.
Why would you want to open facebook every one hour just to see whether someone liked your crappy post ? Its useless, completely.


Sleep

Getting enough sleep is critical to functioning properly throughout the day and getting the most out of your studying efforts.

The world is waiting for you, go show them what u got!
