In the end, no matter how intelligent you are it still comes down to wether or not you enjoy what you are doing. If you can get on a roll and get your head into the problem, for me at the moment that means physics, maths or engineering mechanics, then things will flow and you will learn better.
If you are constantly stop-start and never really get the big picture of how o do what you need to do you won't do as well as you possibly can.
I do, however, challenge anyone to come up with a method for solving 2nd order differential equations on the spot from first principles in a 90 min exam and still get over 50%.
