How do you get easy A's in middle school?

Answer 1

In your required classes, take notes. Taking notes helps you remember what is going on and you will not have to study as much as if you do not take notes. Answer questions that the teacher asks, or at least look interested. ALWAYS do the extra credit work -- this gives you added credibility with the teacher if it ends up that your grade is between and A and a B at the end of the semester.

In the elective classes, take many ideas into consideration: are the classes goof-off classes? Don't take goof-off classes because they diminish your credibility with teachers of other classes -- take classes that might help you in your harder classes. Given the choice between a goof-off class and a reading class, for example -- take the reading class because it will really help you in your required science and English and social studies classes, and will make it more likely that you will get A's in all of them. It sounds backwards, but it is oddly true.

Also, in the elective classes, think about the teacher -- does the teacher teach any required classes? Teachers often repeat the same information in several classes, so if an elective teacher teaches a required class, take a class from that teacher. If the teacher teaches a difficult required class, take that class because you will get a watered down version of the difficult information, which will help you in harder classes.

Try to stay organized. Try to keep ALL your work for a class together and NEVER throw away a paper. When you get ready for a test, spread out all the papers you have gotten back from a teacher and figure out what you don't know by looking at the corrections on your papers -- study the information that you got wrong.

Kids who get a lot of A's have already figured this out, which is why they take the harder classes with more difficult teachers -- and why they have folders full of old papers.
