…I constantly put a lot of effort and time (3-4 hours+) studying for my ap physics, ap calc test and yet i can’t pull an A



Is it because of algebraic mistakes, problems being too tough, exams unlike homework? Figure out what you are doing wrong and fix it.

Studying a lot helps. But not in all cases. I know someone who spent 6hrs A DAY on introductory chem and ended up with a B. At first I was shocked. I spent about 6hrs total and scored much higher than him and all I did was focus on the lecture and some healthy mixture of easy and hard problems. What he did though was to attempt all the problems in the book. Thats ridiculous.He eventually burned out before he even got to the hard problems. Thats just one example of how time can be wasted studying. If you call that studying that is.

But I still advocate over studying( the right way ) just in case. A least after a couple of A’s so that you know where you stand.
