First, reject formalism and be low-key and modest.
Real principals rarely show off. Most of their characters are low-key and modest, they don't like formalism, they don't show off because of their high test scores, and they don't feel complacent and immerse themselves in the world of high scores. What they care about is not the score, but the mastery of knowledge points and whether they can gain something in the learning process. In a class, if a classmate is at the top of the list, but she is arrogant and thinks she is very powerful, then this classmate is just a fake schoolmaster, and it is very difficult to keep good grades for a long time.
Second, have your own learning methods and know how to combine work and rest.
Often, real schoolmasters have a set of learning methods suitable for them, and it is definitely not by luck or rote memorization that they can get the first place in the class. Learning is a process of continuous thinking. Without methods, soldiers on the battlefield have no weapons, so it is important to have their own learning methods. Moreover, Xueba is not a nerd. Many top candidates in the college entrance examination know how to combine work and rest and don't spend all their time studying. They will relax themselves according to their personal interests, which is also a way to release pressure, but it is not easy for ordinary students to do so!
Third, be diligent and practical, and know how to reflect and sum up problems.
The last point is to be diligent and practical, and to know how to reflect and sum up problems. As the saying goes, "a good memory is not as good as a bad writing." Even if a person is smart and has no photographic memory, he still needs to take notes honestly to consolidate his knowledge points. A wise man cannot do without diligence. Many real scholars are already excellent, but they still work hard and don't rest on their laurels. Even if they are the first in every exam, they will reflect on their own problems, and then sum up the lessons and do better next time to have this.
