Grades depend on a combination of ability and effort. By ability, I do not mean just general IQ. Some people find some topics easy and others hard. I doubled majored in psychology and economics in college. I studied the same for both types of classes but made much better grades in psychology. The psych material just fit the way I think bettr than did the econ material. The less ability you have in a particular topic area, the harder you have to study in order to understand and remember that material.

Just a hint: Do not try to memeorize stuff - you will not retain it very long that way. Instead, try to understand it. When you read something, ask yourself - Does this make sense? Would I have guessed this before reading it? If yes, you know the material, so move on. If no, then come up with a reason you should have known or guessed it. Once you have such a reason, then you know the material and can recreate it.
