Secrets of Straight-A Students
Educationexperts and students reveal the secrets of maintaining high grades.By Edwin Kiester, Jr., and Sally Valente Kiester
YouCan Be A Super-AchieverEveryone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV sitcoms and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds .

How,then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?
Romanis on the tennis team at Fairmont (W.Va.) Senior High School. She also sings in the choral ensemble, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained a 4.0 grade-point average (GPA), meaning A's in every subject.

Melendres,now a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played varsity soccer and junior- varsity basketball, exhibited at the science fair, was chosen for the National Honor Society and National Association of Student Councils and did student commentaries on a local television station. Valedictorian of his class, he achieved a GPA of 4.4 -- straight A's in his regular classes, plus bonus points for A's in two college-level honors courses.
