I think your guide may be a little too specific. Like others here, I had pretty near a 4.0 in high school (3.87, iirc, but that's really just a number), and did next to none of the things you suggest. My lower performances were just all in classes with professors I hated and couldn't be bothered to actually do the work for.
It might help someone who has no idea what they're doing, but the truth of the matter is that academics really only tests a couple core skill sets. It's perfectly possible to, regardless of your intelligence (remember, wotonito, being "smart" is a measure of inherent capacity, not the amount of knowledge you have. Two totally different things, though I daresay that we'd find Syrius more believable if he typed eloquently and with proper grammar, not that I'm exactly a bastion of the form myself) get straight A's if you just pay attention during class and, more than anything else, just do the work. It's not hard.
Besides, it's not like grades are really a measure of intelligence or knowledge anyway. It just measures your academic ability, which as most people who actually live in the "real world" after college can tell you, pretty much counts for jack.

I'm online and i haven't slept in like 30 hours so i'm not going to be typing in proper MLA,CMS,or APA format to prove my intelligence.
That wasn't intended as an insult. I know plenty of intelligent people whose typing is a total mess. I was just talking about how it appears, if anything I was responding to wotonito's comment about you.
I assumed that but I was just trying to clarify.Online I try to type in a cognitive form of grammar but Im not gonna go out of my way to be proper,plus my grammar after not sleeping starts to get horrible.
