Why is it that the students with bad memories are often the ones who do super well in school?

Question

I have many peers who have a 4.6 GPA, but many of them have short term memories, while I suck at school but I have an excellent memory. Also I read somewhere that short term memory is the key to academic achievement. I know that seems to go against common sense.

Answer

Those students are the ones who have to work harder to remember things so they do extra work and remember better
