The 5 Tips (Sparknotes version):

Tip #1: Get into as many AP & Honors classes as you can. Taking these classes is a great way to boost up your GPA. Colleges want to see that you are taking the hardest classes that you can, and challenging yourself, so getting a B in the honors class is a lot better than getting the A in the regular class.

Tip #2: Ask questions during and after class. It is crucial that you make sure that every teacher is on YOUR side. If you show that you are interested in the material that the teacher is teaching, it makes the teacher feel good about themselves and you will become someone that they want to see succeed. I would make it a goal to ask at least two relevant questions, per class, per day. This tip can help you not only for grades, but also for teacher recommendations, which you're going to need if you're applying to college.

Tip #3: Do your homework. This may seem really simple, but a lot of the "smart" kids tend to feel too good to do the daily homework. In a lot of classes, your homework grade is 1015%, and if that's not at 100, you're missing out on a huge chance to boost your grade. Especially in AP classes where teachers move very fast through the material, you're going to want to make sure that you're doing all of the homework so you can stay caught up, and also so if you flunk a few tests you'll have that "cushion," which is your homework grade.

Tip #4: Concepts first, details later. When you're studying for a physics test, say, don't just study the formula sheet, and try to memorize every single formula. First, you have to understand WHY each formula exists, what the different elements of each formula are, and what it can help you solve in real life problems. Khan Academy, LitCharts, and Crash Course are all great free online resources that really help you to grasp the concepts of something, and once you've studied those, you can go into your notes and learn the little details of each lesson.

Tip #5: Never give up. No matter how hard you work, there's always going to be some tests that you fail, some papers that you bomb, things like that. So let's say that you just failed your first test in AP Physics. Now because you've built up the image in your teacher's mind that you are someone that wants to succeed (thanks to Tip #2), they will be more than happy to go over the test answers with you, and possibly even give you some points back.
