<p>In my experience, many juniors who seem this way (and I assume you mean they perform better in tests, get better grades, etc.) got their life and priorities organized. For most people that means a lot more studying or time spent doing homework.</p>
<p>“I mean it was pretty obvious they got smarter”</p>
<p>Or they got a test prep book. </p>
<p>But I would suggest reading. Read anything. Do logic puzzles. Watch college lectures on YouTube. Ask (relevant/insightful) questions in class.</p>
<p>

<p>By “etc.” I meant similar things to what I listed. People generally get good grades because they study and such. Like Spamg88 stated, a lot of kids realize they want to do better and get in better shape academically. Thus, they might not even be smarter, just utilizing their brain and putting it to better use.</p>
<p>So what should I do? Instead of just reading? Dors reading actually help?</p>

<p>He wasn’t being serious.</p>
<p>You should stop listening to songs like “Rack City.”</p>
<p>^^^^
Nothing wrong with rap music. I listen to it almost exclusively and I have a 2130 SAT and a 3.94 UW. It doesn’t make you stupid, I assure you.</p>
<p>lol work harder and have more dedication to your studies. Everyone is smart in their own way. Smartness is not only based on classroom performance but on how you about life. everyone is smart in their own way. Its called individualism.</p>
<p>Also the type of music you listen to does not affect your performance is school it is your motivation</p>
<p>if you want to be somebody, if you go somewhere, wake and pay attention at school</p>
<p>Take Adderall</p>
<p>^^LOL!

<p>I would suggest reading and studying more. Maybe, get a tutor to do better in classes and take some sat prep classes to do well on the sat.</p>
