How come this girl gets such good grades?

There's this girl in my Calculus 2 class and she always gets top grades. At the beginning she did not understand how to complete problems with derivatives and integrals, something we learned in Calculus 1. Also I asked her about a problem from one chapter, and she seemed to not understand the concept at all, even though she got the right answer. I even talked to her about some problems from a previous chapter and she totally forgot how to do them completely only a few days after taking the test. And she got the second highest score on the test! So how is she doing this, if it seems like she does not understand the concepts?

    You don't have to understand the concepts to do well on a test. She sounds like one of those people who's really good at cramming.
