10StepstoEarningAwesomeGrades.pdf

A couple facts to put out there before we begin:
• For most students, my opinion on grades is that they do not need to be
perfect. After you define your goals, you’ll find that your coursework is
not a magical Hogwarts train that will take you to them. It’ll help, but
alone it’s inadequate. Focus on getting good grades while also gaining
skills outside of class, building things, doing extracurriculars, making
connections and - yes - making time to have fun. Even if it’s just playing
10 minutes of Goat Simulator (don’t worry, that’s the last goat joke).
• The main point of this guide is to help you earn better grades, but the
almost-as-important subfocus is to cut down your study time. It’s my aim
here to give you tools and tactics that help you perform better in less
time. There’s a neat little equation I invented below that explains this a
little better.
