How I did it: I read volumniously, wrote extensively, debated, reflected, and downloaded copious podcasts on the subject. I studied up on my Kant, Hegel, Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Nietzsche, Rousseau, Locke, Rand, Descartes, Bacon, Hume, and Molyneux. Philosophy is the all-science about the nature of mankind.

How I did it: Go to class, be on time, pay attention, take notes, and review before tests. Even in a challenging discipline like physics or engineering, it does not take a back-breaking amount of work to achieve high marks as long as you keep up with the syllabus, make sure you're understanding things as you go along, and manage your time sensibly.
