I've never studied for a test in my life or done any or read any of those stupid tips they tell you in school. The only subject I'm bad at is math, which because I'm nice and polite to my teachers unlike most teens who are enable to hold conversations for more than 10 seconds, they pass me anyway. I've had teachers just show me the answer book and tell me to just write something there and magically get a good grade. It's not underhanded, that's life skills that will serve you in business later on. Very Dale Carnegie. XD Then of course there's online solvers.
I assume you're (planning to go to) / (are in) college, correct? Isn't this "manipulation and cheating" going to hurt you when you get there - a place where "real learning" occurs and "real assignments" are given? Or are you planning to use mind control there, as well? XD]I don't know what grade you are in, or what kind of classes you take, but there comes a point when straight As aren't as meaningful in high school. If you take easy, cop-out subjects, then straight As mean nothing. If you take more than 5 difficult college level courses, along with a multitude of extracurricular activities and miscellaneous obligations, and still get straight As, then I bow humbly to you. You're doing better than I am.[/QUOTE]
Indeed. My counselor and teachers have repeatedly emphasized to us that colleges would rather see a C in an AP class than an A in the regular classes. Getting straight As is awesome, yes, but you're complaining that the courses you took were too easy. So, unless you are/have, why didn't you venture into AP classes? Whether or not your school offered AP classes, you could have spoken to your counselor and asked them to put you into a class where you felt challenged.
