I was dux of my primary school and top in high school until I had a bit of dilemma, but still got mostly A's in the final crunch without doing any study or work for the year.
At Uni level I regularly got high distinctions and am on the Dean's Honour Roll. I know I am excellent at quickly analysing and finding whatever I needed to create and back up my arguments. I view academic referencing as a comical skill of its own. A lot of my study was external, and usually I would do all my reading and assignments at the very last moment, and could easily locate and pinpoint only the information I needed, saving heaps of time. I had a really clear picture of the argument, its construction and direction I was taking. Or when required I could see quickly what the lecturer was after. I also have a vivid imagination.
I just honestly think I am really smart, and over the years it has been strongly reinforced. Plus I use tons of visualising etc, and my beliefs are that anything is possible, and that I create and attract absolutely amasing things easily, which is also constantly reinforced. I loved the challenge of only having a few days to do a month or two's work in, and could focus really easily on the task, not the worry.
