Ask Zhuge Liang for advice

A Brazilian Judge who after having failed many exams finally got his way through and
began to pass all the others he prepared himself for, wrote a book whose title is The
Art of War for Civil Exams. He follows Sun Zi`s text chapter by chapter and provides a great amount of clues - always comparatively - as how to understand
oneself and the enemy (zhi zi, zhi bi, or di), the possible chances thereof, up to the use of spies
(jian) in order to know about the minds and plans of the Exams Organizers, passing through the Strategical
Advantages or Momentum (shi) and knowledge of the terrain (di xin) and son forth. The book
became an editorial success and I must say that whereas it didn`t interest me for my specific purposes it
drew my attention as a serious application of Su Zi`s wisdom.

Yes, I am with Ghostexorcist.Yes, it's called studying.
Alternatively, you can live three or four years of drunken hedonism, and take your chances afterwards....

SunZi said not to underestimate your enemies (轻敌）， likewise don't ever underestimate the difficulty of a class. Don't think "oh it is a easy A".
SunZi said if you understand yourself and your enemies, you will invincible. Likewise, find out all you can about professors (www.ratemyprofessor.com) before choosing classes. Know the limit of you ability and time. Don't overextend yourself with too much activities.
Hope this helps

There actually are quite a few, one example (don't know the exact quotes) is about a general who studies and predicts his enemy in his temple will achieve success more likely than the one who doesn't, basically... preperation.
