How can one get a 4.0 Gpa?

One can attain a 4.0 GPA by getting straight As all throughout their high school years. But this is unweighted. The weighted GPAs are where it gets tricky because a B in an AP or Honors class is just as good (or better? I'm not 100% sure), than an A in a regular class. For studying, do not procrastinate or cram for tests the night before. Make study guides, ask questions when you don't understand a problem, the usual stuff. If you want to be really picky about it and if your school has some website or something where you can check your grades, then be on the lookout for classes that are starting to slip into a B+, and then know that you will have to do much better on an upcoming test to raise your percentage in that class. Colleges like to say that it's not all about GPAs though... It's also about a number of other factors like the difficulty of classes you are taking, SAT/ACT test scores, extra-curriculars, volunteering, etc. Unless you are talking about a 4.0 GPA from college... but the same concept still applies.

A big part of getting good grades is being good at school which is different than just being smart and studious. If you're constantly taking heavy class loads there are times when it's not possible to "learn" every last detail of whatever you'll be tested on. Pay more attention to concepts and maintain a peripheral focus of the details. The concepts are what stick with you anyway after you're done with school. Be able to distinguish what is most important to know so that your limited time is prioritized on those things that are a big deal. Know how to take tests. A lot of college is multiple choice. Many of the test questions in many courses will have much more to do with your ability to take tests well than your knowledge of the subject. Meaning the questions will be designed to be confusing. If you haven't been pissed off by this yet you will. Aside from that you won't know all the answers no matter what...you should still be able to get most questions right. Group the right classes together. Don't take lots of reading intensive courses in the same terms. Study in the library or some other place where you can focus on what you're doing. Don't procrastinate too much. Don't skip class too much. Don't take too many notes in class...listen to what they're saying. Do all the work. That's about it.

it depends on your major do your homework, after you study the lecture ask the doctor about anything that you didn't understand while doing the homework repeat the homework before the exams solve problems solve more problems
