I actually pushed myself hard to make an A in my Revelation class this semester. I thought it would be the same where I was looking for the grade more than the knowledge, but I found when I actually spent 10 hours studying I would pick up on things in the notes I didn't remember the teacher saying. And I was able to figure out that the movie Sherlock Holmes is built on the Revelation story. It's probably different for you, but my two cents is that when I pushed myself for the grade I actually gained more of the knowledge.
