How do i become smarter? tips from smart students?

10 Comments

Hey, I’m some asian girl and I feel really bad about not having good grades because Asians are usually stereotyped as ‘model minority’ and I kind of wanna live up to that stereotype to make my mother happy with my grades.

I’m having mostly A’s and B’s, (one F in social studies) but I feel like that isn’t enough because I wanna be a straight A student.

I was wondering about any habits that smart students like you have adapted? I need advice so I can become more intelligent and thoughtful!

Thank you!

    According to my university lecturer having plants on your desk helps you concentrate.

    It's an issue of motivation. Study all you can. Get lots of sleep and read various publications to increase your basic knowledge.

    The only thing that separates smart students from not so smart is memory. Those who have better memories get better grades. But this won't help you in real life. I was in the military working on cryptographic equipment. Pretty complex stuff. We had this one guy who could ace every test but could not trouble shoot to save his life. It took logic to solve complex problems and I guess he didn't have it in him.

    You don't have to be smart to get a good grade! Just work hard and concentrate and you'll naturally get it :)

    I am also Asian. I'm basically straight A, and I have no idea how exactly I got it... It shouldn't be too hard if you concentrate during classes and just read your notes over before exams. You can just listen more carefully during lessons and that should be enough!

    Looks like that social studies is your weakness. Just spend more time on it and study at home by yourself. You will get better at it :)

    Why you not doctor? You doctor now? You are such dishonour to family.

    Jokes aside you just need to find the logic to things, practice and be economical. Having some background in the topics also helps. For example, thanks to games like Black Ops or Ages of Empires I have straight A in history. Not trolling, it's true.

    That F is unacceptable. you bring shame to your family! You must focus more on studying and have no leisure time! I suggest studying on lunch breaks social studies is one of the most important subjects. We all strive to be Straight A students i myself was one my parents were very proud My brother got a bad grade once. he is no longer part of the family.

    Here's how to become smarter:

    Realise that stereotypes are stupid and you're under no obligation to live up to them, and realise that getting A's and B's is brilliant and you're being too hard on yourself.

    An F in social studies makes me sad. I can personally understand bad grades in math, because it bores me to tears, but I personally find social studies to be very interesting.

    Chewing gum helps you concentrate with studying. Though that's not really the best thing to do during school hours.
