Q: 20/f. Most of the time, I get A's and B's. But, I am striving for straight A's this semester. It's not like a make it or break it thing. I just want to try to do it. I am graduating from college in December 2012, and then I plan on going on to grad school. Right now, my GPA is a 3.3, which isn't bad, but I really want to get it to a 3.6 or a 3.5 before I apply to grad school. I was looking at the credentials, and the schools I'm applying to are generally looking for a 3.0 or higher. So, I just want to stand out. I was just wondering... if any of you get straight A's, how do you do it? Because it's more of the hard classes, like math and science, where I get B's. I usually get A's in my psych classes and english classes and stuff. I also work part time and am involved in two organizations at school, one which I am on the executive board. So, I just want to know how I can manage my time accordingly and stuff like that. Thanks! :)

First of all judging from what you said you shouldn't have much of an issue getting into the schools of your choice, you're involved in so much stuff, have mostly good grades and you're involved in a few activities.
When I was in high school, I managed to get straight As every semester. I took math that year and once I realized that I kept on getting 80s on tests, instead of the 90s that I had originally wanted, I would study the steps that the teacher had taught me and write down problems that we hadn't done in class and weren't told to do for homework. About science, if I was taught anything about college science by going to a college prep school, science is basically math and labs, as well as memorizing certain facts perhaps, correct?
I would recommend setting up problems for yourself, as well... like the equations that you have to do for Chemistry, I'm not sure what science you're taking, make sure that you know how to calculate basically everything.
Also, do you have a friend who gets straight A's in math and science but struggles a bit in English or Psychology? Remember that the "easy" classes for some people can be difficult for others, ask that friend for help and as a favor to them help them with their English paper.
Good luck with getting straight A's in school!
