Answer 2

Here are the steps.

Work on your vocabulary. Read good books, read and use a few definitions from the dictionary each day, or subscribe to a "word-of-the-day" service online. You can also take the vocabulary tests in Readers Digest or buy a book on increasing your working vocabulary.

Further your education. Get good grades if you're in school, you don't have to study all day long. Just make sure that you finish your home work. Believe it or not teachers will change your marks, depending on your behavior with them. If you're not in school, consider going back. Study hard. Do your homework. Show that you're willing to invest into your greatest capital-- your mind.

Watch the news and talk about recent things that have happened around the world.

Cultivate an interest in subjects like current events, interesting facts, funny and inspiring quotations, good books and movies, scientific studies and interesting inventions. Even educational television is a great way to learn about new things. People who have something to talk about other than their own internal problems and worries appear far smarter than most, and probably are.

Read good books. They will make you both appear and actually be smarter and reading really is fun. Keep your reading diverse by reading books of all genres including non-fiction. Make sure the books are interesting to you. As you read more you will soon learn that, just like movies, some books are better than others. Keep searching out the ones you think are good.

Be organized. Get a notebook or small digital planner to write down your homework assignments and write down the due dates. Get a weekly planner with your class schedule and plan your activities. Get a monthly calender to write down birthdays and big events. Write down what classes you have, when to do homework and what your homework is, dates, when you are hanging out with friends etc. in your planner.

Learn to listen carefully to others' opinions about controversial things, or things they know about and you do not. You do not have to agree with them but remember everybody has something to teach you. Keep an open mind.

Be nice to people. They may call you a nerd, a freak, a geek, or use a racial or homophobic slur, but in this case they really will only be jealous. Being nice to most people is also a sign of maturity and intelligence. Keep it up and people will notice, and so will you. Sometimes a good tactic is to go along with their mockery, and laugh at yourself. Stand up for people who are getting bullied, even if you might start getting bullied. Never insult anyone, gossip or hurt someone physically. Don't make offensive jokes.

Be friends with smart people who do all of the above. It will boost your self-esteem and your confidence, make you less likely to be teased, prevent depression, help you study harder, make your life happier and otherwise enrich your life. You can also make studying fun with your friends.

Know how to solve the Rubik's cube. It is easier than it

appears if you learn tricks in visualizing the cube's geometry.

Learn how to do mental sums or speed math. There are all sorts of tricks for doing complicated math in your head that will amaze others.

Good luck!! i'm glad you are considering to become smarter. Most students think about their friends and parties. But don't worry, being smarter will pay off. Just continue your education, go to college, and trust me you will have a great life.. Good luck.

Answer 3

Preserve your brain by eating sensibly and getting enough sleep, that is the number one way to sharpen your intellect.

Read ahead in all of your textbooks. That way the class will be more of a review and what you learn will make more sense; you will also be able to ask more intelligent questions.

Take notes.  If the teacher emphasizes a point, it will probably be on a test.

Cut out (or limet) all the horrendous time wasters like TV, video games, and computer-use the time to read your texts, related books or just really good books for entertainment.

Never, never stay up to "cram" for exams.  Just skim over your notes the morning before the test.   Better to get a good nights sleep and have a nice alert brain.   Besides if you don't know it already, one nights studying will not help.

Watch out for your friends, they may want to sabotage you. Misery loves company and they will be jealous and feel left out if you turn into a scholar and know more than they do.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Study and read, work at learning something new everyday.  Don't take the easy way, work at doing something hard everyday - not just studying something hard, but make the right choices, even if they are not the "popular" or "easy" choices.  Remember, your attitude is more important than your I.Q., so have the right attitude!

Answer 10

Read evrything you can get your hands on, listen to what other tell you, as someone stated, study, study, study, and when you get tired, study some more, and not just about one thing, but everything.
