I wanna be smarter and do better in school, and be sort of like Robert Langdon from Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons? Anyone know how ?

As the previous posters have said, read, read, read. Using this site may also help -answer lots of questions - ones you know a little about, but do research on them as you answer them and quote your sources. Choose the serious questions, not the joking or frivolous ones. Begin to keep a journal and write everyday. Everyday read something that is not just for pleasure - read something specifically to learn. We cannot usually make ourselves smarter ..... but we can certainly make much bettter use of what we have. Most of us are using only about 10% of our ability at any given time.

you could start with better grammar -
"How can i become more smart?"
the word is 'smarter' - how can i become smarter?
keep in mind - Langdon is a fictional character.
if your still in school - that's the best palce to start...challenge your mind - read, research.
but don't forget - intelligence isn't everything - personality and everything else plays into it...

everyone is saying read. and they're right.
HOWEVER, it is not enough just to devour complex books. you have to understand them in order to really learn more. so, read a book, and then find a smart friend or teacher to discuss it with. work through the ideas, the parts you didn't understand, and form your own ideas. being smart isn't just about spelling correctly or regurgitating information, it's more about being able to have original ideas of your own. it's just easier to articulate and come up with ideas when you've read a lot.
bottom line: reading and discussion.

Read everything you can get your hands on and take the hard classes in school instead of the easy ones.
