[edit] Plot Overview

After failing a history test and being threatened with repeating the fourth grade, Bart strikes up a deal with the class brain. Bart agrees to show Martin Prince how to be popular if he agrees to help him pass his test. Things work out for a while until Martin decides tests no longer matter after getting his first taste of popularity. Bart turns to prayer and asks God for a snow day with a promise to use the extra day to study. His prayers are answered. As Bart prepares to go out and enjoy his day off, Lisa reminds him of his promise. Bart studies hard and fails the test anyway, but impresses Mrs. Krabappel with his knowledge of the first continental congress, which convinces her to change his grade to a "D-" Bart responds with an enthusiastic kiss, which he soon regrets.
