You're very smart and it shows in how little you need to study before tests.

School grading systems use homework as a measure though. So to get those higher grades, make sure you turn in every assignment complete and on-time. (My own grades suffered throughout high-school because I never did homework myself. I'd usually ace the tests with 10-15 minutes of studying like yourself. Homework always seemed like a drag.)

Here's a tip.

Figure out what each teacher bases their 'grades' on and make sure that you supply it. You pick up the material quicker than anyone around you, use that extra class time to study your teachers a bit.

thats how i feel sometimes. my problem one time was because i bombed the first test of the marking period. that just really affected my grades. my advice to you is to make sure you get all your homework done and try to focus on school for the last couple of weeks.

good luck home i helped =]

maybe consider studying for longer than 15 minutes. if it's something really important to you than you should. you can't only study for about 15 and hope you get an a. you did about an average amount of studying there for, an average grade you'll get. so study more, and try to not lose the determination. when you keep getting them a's and feeling good, it's a moment you'll never want to lose. also, getting a decent amount of hours of sleep is very crucial.
