* [[SpiderMan Peter Parker]] was at least mild example of this in his high school days. In fact, Flash Thompson once used Peter's overachiever tendencies to explain why he picked on him in high school (keep in mind that this conversation took place at a time when Peter and Flash had been friends for years).

** This. Just this:
--->'''Andy''': How was the big math test?\\

-->'''Willow''' and '''Xander''', ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''

*** PRETEND to do homework even.

* At SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy in the WhateleyUniverse, the devisers and gadgeteers even have specially advanced math and science classes that the ordinary kids (even the really smart 'ordinary' kids who have eidetic memory and read at 900 words a minute) don't get to take.

* Ami/Amy from Sailor Moon, although justified by the fact that she is someday planning to become a doctor.

* ''[[RocketPower Rocket Power]]'' had Sam "Squid" Dullard. He get's ecstatic when school starts back up.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer's'' Willow looks forward to homework as the summer draws to a close.

* Riley of ''Webcomic/AngelMoxie'' is this. As seen in the picture, she cheers upon being told the class is focusing on more advanced calculus.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Twilight Sparkle so enjoyed reading and studying that when we meet her in the first episode of the series she prefers to do so at the exclusion of socializing.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Martin Prince has been shown to be like this from time to time, enjoying getting homework and pop quizzes. On more than one occasion he has reminded the teacher about the test or big homework assignment that she was going to give.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': The brothers Irwin and Albert are both self-professed nerds who appear proud of their intelligence.

** At least part of that was due to the previous teacher treating middle schoolers like a kindergarten class and teaching them the most basic of basics, which drove Riley up the wall (Though for this very reason).

* Riley of ''Webcomic/AngelMoxie'' is this. As seen in the picture, she cheers upon being told the class is focusing on more advanced calculus.
* In an episode of ''FullHouse'', DJ complains that the nerds brought homework back from Summer vacation.
* In ''{{Friends}}'', we learn Monica was like this, and is again when she goes to night school with Phoebe.

* In ''{{Foxtrot}}'', Jason is portrayed as a super-nerd who loves doing math and science homework, often doing his older siblings' homework for fun.
* ''DextersLaboratory'': Dexter not only looked forward to hard tests, but was so proud of being in school and being a genius that he was a TeachersPet until Mandark came along and gave him a rival. Mandark also enjoys the tests and challenging work.
* ''PhineasAndFerb'': The brothers Irwin and Albert are both self-professed nerds who appear proud of their intelligence.

* ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Twilight Sparkle so enjoyed reading and studying that as we meet her in the first episode of the series. In "Lesson Zero", she states that doing homework is one of the things she did with her doll.

* ''{{Arthur}}'': Every time Mr. Ratburn assigns a new big homework assignment, everybody groans...except Brain.
* ''TheSimpsons'': Martin Prince has been shown to be like this from time to time, enjoying getting homework and pop quizzes. On more than one occasion he has reminded the teacher about the test or big homework assignment that she was going to give.

* {{Buffy}}'s Willow looks forward to homework as the summer draws to a close.

* Rat from ''TheCore'' is another subversion. He's clearly a genius and has no problem telling off the resident big ego. But he's a PlayfulHacker who has to be recruited for the mission.

* ''DannyPhantom'': Subversion. Tucker Foley is a genius and is clearly capable of handling high level work. But he perfers to make time with his gizmos, the nerd girls at Casper High and backing up Danny than actually spending any time hitting the books. The fact that Amity Park votes him mayor at the end of the series supports his intelligence, since he was the one who helped implement the plan that allowed Danny and the ghost zone ghosts to save the world.

* ''PhineasAndFerb'': I don't think I've ever seen Baljeet look forward to a test specifically, but he so loves school and schoolwork that he went to a seminar in lieu of having a class to take. He got offended that he was kicked out of summer school for good grades, and the whole "Gimme An A" song from "Meet the Baljeatles" was because the class he took in Summer Rocks had no grades of any kind, and he'd been freaking out anxious about getting a bad grade because he does not rock.
** Secondarily, the brothers Irwin and Albert are both self-professed nerds who appear proud of their intelligence.
