I just started working on my masters degree, and received an A in my first class. Here's how:
1) Start reading as soon as you get a reading assignment
2) do not miss any lectures and take copious notes in your own words
3) review your notes
4) PARTICIPATE IN DISCUSSIONS!!!
5) ASK QUESTIONS!!!
The key is remembering that YOU are responsible for your learning. Nobody can open your brain and insert the information -- you must actively seek ways to ensure you are understanding whatever it is you need to learn. Much of the time, that means seeking out help by asking lots of questions. Stay on top of the reading and ask questions... you'll do fine!

1) Go to ALL of your classes! Even if you think they are pointless, you will pick up things in class that you cannot get by trying to teach yourself out of your textbooks. Plus, it shows the professor your dedication. I think that many times I have had Bs in classes, but the professors noticed that I came to every class and therefore gave me As at the end of the semester. You'll be surprised how many students don't come to class, even though it is an incredibly easy way to earn brownie points with your professors!
2) Do ALL of your assigned work. A lot of students skip things like reading textbook chapters because it's not a tangible assignment that you have to turn in, but it's things like reading that are going to allow you to understand the material and more effectively complete the actual coursework.
3) Don't screw around. College is too expensive to come home after classes and play video games all night. If you do your work every day, you won't fall behind. Take your schoolwork seriously and get help AS SOON as you need it, whether it be meeting with the professor or getting a tutor. Most colleges offer supplementary learning services to students free of charge.
Also, getting involved on campus might help as well. I've found that the most involved students are the ones that have the highest GPAs because they are dedicated, have tons of friends, and genuinely enjoy being at school. I hope this helps you!

Seek out what you weaknesses are and make them better.
Then devide your time so you can have a splendid social time and enough time to learn and study to keep up your good grades you're getting now.
It's really quite simple.

Take notes on a laptop instead of on paper. You'll be more time-efficient doing that.
