i'm a straight A student. but my grades are always in the mid 90 range. wat are some ways to help me get 100 instead of just 95s. there always seem to be a small detail or something that causes me to lose a few points and be second.

also read each question carefully twice- teachers like to throw in trick questions every once and a while...
gaby09 answered Friday August 26 2005, 9:33 pm: try to study as you go. Liek for tests and stuff dont just study on the night before the test...study a little bit each night and make sure to think about little details that would make good quesiotns...like if you were a teacher wut kind of questions would you ask. Have your mom or someone quiz you on the stuff you need to study. Hope i helped!

You might know your work well, but to do well in exams you need to know the exam format well. Of course, getting past papers might not be so easy depending on where you are and what year you're in.

Greatness is far better than perfection, and if you know that you're giving it your all, then you've made yourself great. Seriously, the percentage isn't what's important, it's what you're learning. If you're truly passionate about finding out new information, just do all you can to do that very thing. If it's history, read some extra books or articles related to what you're studying. If it's English, keep a journal of what you've read and the impact it has on your life. Focus on learning, growing, and you might just boost your percentage grades in the process. Grades matter very little in the whole scheme of things, if you're already getting As, you're involved in extracurriculars, and you're a strong writer, you're going to get into a good college, and when you go to college, you're going to learn to specialize in one area that you're really interested in. Spend more time developing those interests than double and triple checking your answers. I'm rambling, but I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I don't remember what I got on my last Physics test, but it certainly wasn't a perfect score. But what I remember most is that I learned so much that I apply in every day life, I understand so much more than I did before, and I can make connections between things that I couldn't before. That's worth more than any percentage point.

unreachable answered Friday August 26 2005, 12:26 am: Hmmm ... this usually happens to me. The best I can think of is to double/triple check your answers to make sure they're right and check the questions to see if you answered it correctly or didn't misread it. There's not much else I can think of, just study and check your answers.
