grades than simply studying. Whether it’s
the kind of kids in your crew or your snooze
quality, many factors affect the marks you
make. Take this quiz to learn exactly how to
have your brightest year yet.

1. School starts in exactly two weeks.
When it comes to your mile-long summer
reading list, you…
A. Got through each book, obviously. Now,

B. Have one more to get through, but you’d

C. Still have a pile of unread books stacked
on your desk. Looks like you’ll Wiki your way

not be a big deal, getting plenty of sleep is
one of the easiest things you can do to feel
better and watch those grades inflate.
