The reason you're not getting straight A's has nothing to do with your intelligence,
and everything to do with your study strategies. Here's how.
First, focus on active learning methods rather than passive ones. It will feel more challenging
initially, but that means it's working, and what you learn will actually stick.
Second, ensure your environment is conducive to learning. Minimize distractions and study
solo or in small groups, meaning with only 1 or 2 other people.
Third, pace yourself by forcing 25 minute blocks of intense focus followed by 5 minutes
of break. This is the Pomodoro technique.
Fourth, use practice questions from the very beginning and review them thoroughly, not
just to check whether you got the answer right or wrong. This is an insanely powerful study
tool.
And fifth, use spaced repetition with active recall to consolidate and memorize information.
And use the Feynman technique to memorize challenging concepts.
