How to get a 4.0 by Ryanand

"This took quite a bit of work. "

How I did it: I worked hard. I did everything my professors asked of me and it all worked out. I did it my 3rd semester at college and I'm going to try to do it from now on. 

Lessons & tips:

It really is a simple formula. Professors usually WANT you to do well. Do everything they say, throw in a few 5 hour energy shots and party a little less. There you go, the 4.0 formula. :D

Resources: 5 hour energy shots, textbooks, professors, office hours, prayers :)

How I did it: After every class, I went to the library and rewrote my notes.  I cannot emphasize how much this helped.  I've never gotten a 4.0 before, but I've come close.  This technique really put me over the edge :) Read how I did it…

satisfied

How I did it: Hard work, but not too hard.  I was involved in many other activities.  This taught me time management, which has come in handy in college.  And of course, some natural intelligence helped :) No one is going to get a 4.0 without a little bit of God-given talent.  Mainly, determination and a competitive drive brought me to the top.

It made me
stressed out

How I did it: i was so focused on getting perfect marks that i neglected friends, family, a relationship, my job, the company i'm trying to start, and even my home. it took me a while and a failure to realize that i'm happier to know that i did the absolute best that i could than to know that i have a perfect grade.

    There is no way I’m getting through this quarter with anything higher than a 3.0. I procrastinate worse that I ever have before I study even less that I did before (eg. never), know even less on the material we’re covering and pay even less attention in class. I’d wish I could say that I’ve become a horrible student but I’ve always been a horrible student.

    I want to have a 4.0! maybe not cumulative, but for at least one semester! I plan on being in school for a very very long time so I am sure I have a lot of time to achieve this goal!

    i had straight As through high school, but college has really taken it’s toll on me, and i definitely am not performing the same (academically) as i used to. I know it’s possible, i can get As on some of the most difficult tests, but then poor scores on others. I CAN DO THIS. i just have to focus more, waste less time.

    3.8 again, but at least I’m being consistent. I would also like to believe that spring semester was way more difficult than last semester as I was pulling 18 units instead of 15. So…next semester here I come.

    So far, so good. This will be the first semester of my life that I have a 4.0, and all it took was the awesomely successful tactic of rewriting my notes after class. Trust me, this makes everything much easier down the road. However, the semester s not yet done…
    Finals are nearing. While 2 of my classes- Topics and my Thesis class have already told me I have an A, I have an A in neuropharmacology right now, but I just handed in an essay that I didn’t do an amazing job on. Also, in clinical neurology I’m boarderline… around a 93.5. :X. Unfortunately, this wont be an excellent studying week because I have to run experimental trials (only at night, bc they are nocturnal) on my rats, which will take a good 120 hours.

    I got an A on my Cuba studies midterm. Which is quite helpful considering I’m about to do about 100 pages of reading for that very class.
