I study 5 pages advance everyday for 2 hours (Enough time to study every subject I have.) before sleeping, then wake up at 4 AM to scan the pages that you had studied the night then go to school then participate.

Here participation is graded and can carry your over all grade, My lowest is a B (Math) due to studying this way and once you get to the exams it would be easy enough since you had highlighted and read every pages, So you just scan for like 4 hours then sleep then go to school and take the exams.

I also take notes on a paper then scan them, I only right down keywords for the answer.
Example:
This Important Thing - random stuff insert here lalalala lol this is about an importan thing
then you would write down these:
This Important Thing - This is about an important thing.

Lol I just do what the honors in my class do to get a high score and it's working.
Also the thing that continues to drive me to do this is my over-thinking and rewards that are set for me in the future like a Good Job, Good Life, Good everything, Basically life goals.
