Necessary to study?

Q. I don't tend to study much. in class, I make sure I understand what's said. i also finish all the homework given. besides the week leading to exams, i rarely study except to revise what i don't understand or have forgotten. to be honest, i'm doing pretty well in my studies (getting at least top 10 in exams). I'm currently in my senior years of high school. should i continue this "schedule" or do i need to start studying?

A. You need to start studying. College is going to hit you like a brick wall if you don't know how to learn and revise but rely on remembering everything by osmosis and last minute cramming.

And, I'm sorry - top ten? And you're satisfied with that, having done no work? Lack of ambition, much?
