The remaining 25% was getting along with your professors to get the good grades (knowledge is no good in school if you can't convince your professors of how much you have). I was good at the 75%, but convincing them was tough. Especially when they had the 1 A, 1 B, everyone else C policy. You had to be better than 25 other people to get an A or 24 people to get a B. Get a real genius who was good at tests of professor favorite and your semester is shot to hell (getting 56 out of 60 points for the entire class and getting a C next to the lazy 22 point bum was complete crap, especially when the A was 59 points, the B was 58).

My chemistry lab class is looking "good" for sort of this reason. 1st day in, the lab person says "only 30% of you will get A's in this course" "If you do the work, you will at least get a C". Great, a C. I'm sure everyone else was thinkin the same thing, but still will seem like a pain course.
