The two greatest lessons I ever learned about homework and studying:

1. Everyone who gets good grades also studies. There is no such thing as a student — however brilliant — who gets good grades without studying.
2. If you do every problem at the end of every chapter of your textbook, you will ace every exam. That's because they take the exam problems from the problems at the end of the chapter. It's a guaranteed strategy, at least as long as they have textbooks.
