How to get a 4.0 without being a nerd:)

How hard is it to get straight A's?

I've found (and this only applies to high school) that getting straight A's, even if you're not the smartest person, really isn't that hard, let alone getting a 4.0. So, here's how you can get a 4.0 without being a nerd, in order of most effective.

Take Difficult Classes

By taking honors and AP classes, you can get B's and C's, and still end up with a 4.0 grade point average. Just think, by taking all AP's and maintaining a 70% in each class, you've just gotten yourself a 4.0 GPA...not  so bad:)

Use Nootropics Sparingly

By using strong nootropics like Phenylpiracetam and Sunifiram, which are much safer and more effective in the long run that ADHD stimulants, you can greatly boost retention rate. Just be sure to use them sparingly to avoid excess tolerance, and to make sure you sleep properly while using them. (See previous posts for more details on these two nootropics.)

If you have to, or you're sure you can't get caught, CHEAT!

Forget to study for a test, or really can't study that night, find a way to cheat, plain and simple. Sometimes you just need it, and don't get into the habit of doing this all the time, but for bs classes where the teacher's borderline senile, it may just give you that higher letter grade by the end of a semester. Whatever the case, don't accept an F because you "forgot to study!" Either cheat or fake a stomach flu, but don't fail!

Study a little bit each night, even if it's just ten minutes

By studying little by little, you won't have to worry about cramming at the last minute, or burning yourself out with too much caffeine and all nighters. Even the hardest of subjects can benefit from this alone, and it is definitely THE most important way to propel you to a 4.0 GPA.

Turn in the homework

Even if you ONLY do this, you'll usually end up with a C. Do this and pay attention in class, and that's a B. It's common sense, even if it's not done perfectly, just turn it in and watch those grades soar!

Pay Attention in class

If you do this to a great enough degree, you can dick around all day once you're home and still ace all the tests (depending on the teacher.) Either way, this step is vital, and it'll definitely get that GPA up in the long run.

Final Thoughts: 

With all of this, you can definitely get a 4.0 while doing very little work, and you may even enjoy it in the long run. Let's face it, high school is not that hard, and with these steps, you can get on the road to (or at least making it look like) you're fairly smart. Hope it works for ya, chao!
