I remember having a discussion over email with one friend Ed late in 1989, towards the end of my first quarter of grad school at UCLA. I was discouraged because I had worked very hard (especially in one class) and my grades were kind of so-so (albeit good enough to remain in good standing and make progress towards the degree). He told me one of the things that helped him do well in undergrad and grad school was the ability to predict what would be on exams. That didn't really help me much, unfortunately, especially in one class where almost nothing that was discussed in class or assigned as homework was tested.
