<p>i think it is all about time management. if you have a solid A in math, then do less math and work harder on english if you’re at a B+/A- in that class. concentrate on the areas you’re weaker in.</p>
<p>cheating is really a bad way to get a 4.0. it’s unfair for a lot of people also. i.e. some kids got a hold of an old collegeboard AP exam test that our teacher was going to use for the final. teachers switched the test to a freakin hard one. in the end, everyone hates that kid b/c they got like a C in the class b/c of him.</p>
<p>it all depends on the person though. my older sister works her butt off to get straight A’s but still doesn’t manage. my boyfriend on the other hand, doesn’t do ANYTHING for school (didn’t read apush textbook) and still manages a 4.0 and a 4 on the apush exam.</p>
