大多数留学党其实都有一个学霸梦，好的GPA成绩能让你在学校混的风生水起，也能为你的工作、奖学金加分。如果能快速的刷GPA呢？尤其是在海外学校，这种陌生的环境下，如何克服障碍才能获得自己满意的GPA成绩，从而走向人生巅峰。下面小编来给大家分享一篇国外学霸如何刷GPA的教程，希望对大家有所启发。

I got very good grades in college, but I didn't set out thinking that I wanted to get straight A's. I set out thinking that I wanted to master the material, and the kids who set out to game the system couldn't figure out how I seemed to breeze through without resorting to ridiculous tricks, or at least cramming a few times, or pulling all-nighters once or twice a week like they did.

Note: (i)Gaming the system: manipulation or exploitation of the rules designed to govern a given system in an attempt to gain an advantage over other users

(ii)Breeze through: to complete some task rapidly and easily

我在大学里成绩很好，但我从不想我要拿全A。我通常去考虑我需要掌握课程资料，而那些想利用规则讨巧的人不能想明白我是如何不耍手段，在考试前死记硬背或者像他们一样每周通宵学习一两次却可以轻松地取得好成绩。

But that's really the secret. When you master the material, you can pass any test given at finals. Here's a list of things I did, in no specific order.

但确实有一些诀窍。当你掌握了课程材料，你就能通过任何期末考试，下面是我的办事清单，无特定排序。

Leave NOTHING to chance -- This means planning ahead for all assignments, projects, and tests. It means that if something crazy happens the night before, from a printer issue to a friend going to the hospital, you'll be in a good position to turn in your assignment or pass the test, and if you have to ask for an extension it will only be for a day or two. You should be able to go to bed early the night before a big whatever -- sleep helps your grade more than a cram session.

不要把任何事留给运气——这意味着为所有作业、项目和考试提前做好计划。也就是说，如果像打印机坏了，朋友去医院这种突发事件发生后，你还能够按时提交你的作业或通过考试。即使你不得不请求延期那也只需拖一两天。无论发生什么事，你应该早睡。对于提高成绩，睡眠比考前死记硬背有用多了。

Make meticulous lists and small goals the first week of courses -- Start tracking your assignment's due dates, the materials you need to get, the research you'll need to do for that big paper, and so on. Figure out what tasks you can do NOW and use the slow first few weeks to get a head start.

在课程开始第一周制定详细的清单和细分目标——开始跟踪课程作业提交截止日期，你需要获得的课程材料，你需要为论文所做的调研等等。找出当前你能开始做的项目并用比较空闲的前几周开个头。

Choose research / project topics early -- It doesn't matter if your paper is due in two months, choose three possible topics NOW and start researching. Your ideas will evolve, but if you have already looked into the options you will learn more from the class as you see relevant or useful topics come up, you will be able to run through ideas earlier, and you will not be in the crippling position of "generate 5 pages in 2 hours," but can work at your leisure, and you have weeks to talk to your professor. Also, few people really go to the library / lab in the first few weeks of school to do heavy work so if you're there you will almost always get what you want, and get it out of the way before more serious obligations come up later in the semester.

Note:(i)run through: to read or examine something quickly

(ii) at your leisure: in your own (good) time, in due course, at your convenience, unhurriedly, when it suits you, without hurry, at an unhurried pace, when you get round to it

尽早选择研究/项目课题——或许你的论文在两个月之后才需要提交，但是现在就选定三个可行的主题并进行调研。你的想法确实会逐渐发生改变，但如果你已经研究了几个选项你会从课堂中学到更多的东西。因为当你会看到有相关的或有用的课题不断涌现，你能更快地理解并检验这些想法，所以你不会处于“2小时憋5页论文”的悲惨处境，可以按自己的节奏工作,何况你还有好多这可以和教授交流。并且，在开学前几周很少人会真的去图书馆和实验室努力工作，因此如果你那是去这些地方，你总能获得你想要的东西并避开后面逐渐制定的各种复杂的规定。

Do extra research -- You can benefit from starting your papers and projects early by having the freedom to go beyond the bare minimum. Research two or three possible topics you are interested in, keep all the notes and information organized, and you will be able to change topics on a whim or have a pre-researched topic for another class when you need it most. Do not underestimate this. Again, the first two or three weeks of school are excellent for this as there are few deadlines.

Note:on a whim: done without thinking seriously about the consequences

进行额外的研究——若尽早开始准备论文和项目，你能有尽可能超过要求底线的自由。调研两到三个你感兴趣的题目，将所有笔记和信息归档整理。这样你就可以心血来潮时更换题目或利用已经研究过的题目在有需要时去完成另外一项课程的作业。不要低估这项工作。再次重复，开学前两三周是完成这项工作的最佳时期因为这时很少作业要交。

Ask questions, even if you look like an idiot -- It took me a while to swallow my pride and speak up, but I'd rather get the added knowledge than 'look cool'. And the joke's on those who look down on this -- I get the A and they don't.

Note: swallow one's pride: to forget one's pride and accept something humiliating

积极问问题，即使你看起来像个傻瓜——我花了好长一段时间放下自尊大声说话，虽然我看起来不酷，但是我得到了更多知识。真正的笑话在于那些鄙视这样做的人，我拿A而他们没有。

Talk to your professors after class -- Ask that burning question, tell them something you thought was interesting, blah blah blah. Learn that extra bit of information, make sure they know you by name and find you engaged and interested. Then when your printer dies or cat gets a hairball, they'll give you that extension.

Note: burning question: a question whose answer is of great interest to everyone; a question that needs very much to be answered, as a fire needs to be extinguished

和你的教授在课后聊天——问吸引人的问题，告诉他们你认为有趣的想法，等等。获得更多的知识，确保他们能够记住你的名字并认为你投入这门课程。这样当你的打印机坏了或者猫得了胃病时，他们会给你宽限的时间。

Avoid all-nighters. Schedule study/homework. -- Unless you really really have to, all-nighters are bad news. Look closely at your schedule of classes and work, and find little gaps where you can go to the computer lab or library or quad or student center and do some work. You can spend just as much time on homework as the kids pulling all-nighters without staying up past midnight. Also, its best if you figure out what bits of your homework you can do where, and always have something quick and easy you can pull out if the opportunity presents itself.

Note: (i)quad: abbr. quarangle club

(ii)pull out:to move away from sth or stop being involved in it

避免熬夜，合理安排学习和功课——除非你不得不这么做，熬夜一定是一个坏消息。仔细审阅你的课程和工作安排，找出小块时间去机房、图书馆、吃货俱乐部或学生中心去干点事。也可以不熬夜却像夜猫子们一项花同样多的时间在功课中。并且，就好你能找出每次作业你能够做哪儿，并且每一天都安排一些能够快速而简单完成的事项以便在机遇来临之时可以及时抽身。

Take one class a semester that isfun -- Usually these can be your general eds or nonmajor requirements. I loved taking a mental break from my major with history or philosophy, for example, and the semesters that I didn't have one of these classes were significantly worse.

每学期选一门基于爱好的课——通常这些课程可以当作通识教育或辅修课程要求。我喜欢脱离主课的精神休息，比如选秀历史和哲学。我不选这些课程的学期表现非常糟糕。

我们简单来总结一下：想要刷GPA，我们要坚持3大原则：1、执行力——万事之根本；2、有远见——提前行动，更加从容；3、多交流——学习知识，增进关系，熟人好办事的原则在国外也适用。具体的实施方法可以分为7种：1、厘清目标，制定详细计划；2、规律作息，坚决跟进计划；3、提前规划好大任务，从容不迫地完成；4、多做几套方案，最终取最优解；5、做好总结，之前的工作以后也能用；6、敢问问题，学懂了最关键；7、多余教授交流，留下勤奋好学的好印象。
