My GPA was 3.7 when I graduated because my ability to focus was just long enough to complete high school level work mostly within class periods.
University required taking initiative and time management and holy hell I completely bombed when I ran into those barriers.
I'm afraid my daughter is going through the same. High school was no issue with the short assignments, but time management for university is a disaster. I've got no clue on what to do for her. She's undiagnosed. It was never mentioned by any school counselor but the pattern matches with what I see here.
Recommend looking at behavioral therapeutic techniques if a diagnosis is either not available or desired
