Just to let you know, overachieving students tend to hyperaggrandize the actual situation, like “Oh, my God that test was SO HARD!!!”, when it was actually a little harder than average. Or “I so FAILED that test!”, when they probably got like an 85. Point is your goal should be take the necessary time for YOU to learn the material well, and forget what everyone else is doing. You might in the summer, instead of taking actual classes, do something like take a speed reading class. It’s helped me, and you can learn to increase your reading speed. I know people who didn’t do well, not because they were stupid, but compared to average, their reading speed was very slow.
