Wow, you must be pretty smart just to be asking this question at your age. So smart that I don't think you need a number 1-100 to tell how smart you are.

Look at it this way; can you create a good grade? Can you craft an 80% with raw will-power and your bare hands? No, of course not. But can you study? Can you perform an action that guarantees that you are in fact studying? Definitely. You have absolute control over whether or not you are studying. You have absolutely no direct control over your grade percentage. You're smart, which one do you think is the more intelligent goal?
