Personally, I don't think there is any amount of studying you could do that would get you 100% in 8 courses unless you weren't naturally quite brilliant to begin with. All her extra studying did was likely take her from a 95% to a 100%.
I did very little studying and managed to coast through high school, I worked harder at university though (and it was an adjustment as I was used to having everything come easy to me), even with the harder work I pulled in university I figure I still did considerably less than others that finished in the grad class where I did. In my experience, studying will only get you so far. If you aren't naturally bright, studying can only get you to a certain point, and you won't get past that point. I had a friend who would study all day every day in University, and the most he could get was a B. He worked his ass off, but if he hadn't off he likely would have flunked out.
