hmmm...i know some very smart people who drop out of college and some average joe who do a little better. it's hard to tell who can get better grades in college. the us president right now is considered not too bright and went to Yale because his family is very, very rich and very, very powerful. He averaged a C- and barely graduated.
are you able to concentrate while you are studying? i find this my biggest problem; i can barely sit down for 10~15 minutes looking at a textbook. i try to play light classical music when i study (i really don't like listening to them) but it does help me to concentrate better. anohter thing i do is to promise myself to concentrate for 50 minutes, then take a short break of ten minutes, then another 50 minutes, and then i get to watch my favorite tv show for 30 minutes. this way i feel rewarded for studying.
anyway there are also people i know who are really good at taking exams but when you talk to them, you realize that they don't really know what's going on... maybe books like "What Smart Students Know: Maximum Grades, Optimum Learning, Minimum Time" or "Study Strategies Made Easy" (check them on amazon.com) can help; i haven't read them myself but a couple of my classmates think they are very useful.
also don't take all these exams so seriously. please read ang lee's story if you haven't already (http://th.gio.gov.tw/show.cfm?news_id=9528) fyi National Taiwan College of Arts is considered a really, really bad school. even if ang lee hasn't become so successful, i would still have considered him a really courageous man because he chose a career that no asian family can like and slowly but bravely work at it.
the last thing is: do you like music? if you do, you made the right choice. i believe in you.
cheers
