You have to realize the difference between a B+ and an A- can be as little as a tenth of a point. There's so little distinction between scores that you have to try even harder to get on the upper end. Nearly a third might receive A's, but to get into that third is no simple task.
Also, you go at the rate of a chapter a day. That's a lot. And not easy to keep up with. Particularly when you're taking other time-heavy classes. |
