In Grade 12, I rigged my average by applying to shift all my best courses into the first semester (the only one that counts for university admissions) and keep all my worst courses in the second semester. English, social studies, French, communications in the fall, then math and sciences later in the spring.
On top of that, due to some administrative quirk at my school, each module of elective courses was counted on the transcript as a separate course. Because of that I ended up with a 95 average in the first semester, which made my university applications look great. I think my average in the second semester was around 70.
I was never an amazing student but I did have some street smarts
