The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily
learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of straight-A
students.

Among the students we interviewed, study times were strictly a matter of personal preference. Some
worked late at night when the house was quiet. Some learned new words while brushing his teeth. Others
awoke early. Still others studied as soon as they came home from school when the work was fresh in
their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency.

In high school, Jim McCray ran track, played soccer and was in the band and orchestra. "I was so
busy, I couldn't waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could
put my hands on it," he says. He maintains two folders-one for the day's assignments, the other for papers completed and graded.

"The best class I ever took," says Christopher Campbell, who graduated from high school last spring, "
was speed-reading. I not only increased my words per minute but also learned to look at a book's table
of contents, graphs and pictures first. Then, when I began to read, I had a sense of the material and
solved the secret of good reading that an active reader is the one who continually asks questions that
lead to a full understanding of the author's message."

When a teacher assigns a long paper, Domenica draws up a timetable, dividing the project into small
pieces so it isn't so overwhelming. "It's like eating a steak," she says. "You chew it one bite at a time."
Of course, even the best students delay action sometimes. But when that happens, they face up to it.
Sometimes it comes down to late nights. But, if they want A's, they make sure to hit the deadline.

"Reading the textbook is important," says Anderson, "but the teacher is going to test you on what he
or she emphasized. I usually write down key points from the text on one side and those from the teacher's
lecture on the other. Then I am able to review both aspects of the assignment at once." Just before the
bell rings, most students get ready to rush out. Anderson uses those few minutes to write a two-or
three-sentence summary of the lesson's principal points, which he scans before the next day's class.
The most important "secret" of the super-achievers is not so secret. You can learn and master them
and become an A student, too.
