Tips on How to Get Straight A’s in College

[LevelUP]

I thought it would be neat to start a thread on how to get straight A's in college.  

Does a High GPA Matter?
1. Some master's programs require a minimum 3.0 GPA.
2. Lots of Federal jobs require a minimum 3.0 GPA.
3. Some internships and jobs in the private sector look at GPA when hiring.
4. Medical School, Law School, and others could look at your college GPA.
5. Scholarships often require students to maintain a certain GPA.

I'll start with an obvious tip:
1.  When writing a paper, follow the instructions and rubric to a T.
The rubric will tell you everything you need to know such as what format the paper should be in, points for each section, and what information needs to be included.

So whether your college experience has been Alt credits, pass/fail college courses, or graded college courses, post in the thread what has helped you to pass the course.  Sharing tips should help everyone save time and earn a higher score.
