Xillius"If I would have studied harder I'd have an A. "If I would have tried hard we would still be today today."
Those two are not acceptable in standard British English, though you'll hear them in some people's speech, particularly with a contracted 'would'.

I'd say "If I studied harder I'd have an A." and " If I tried harder we would still be together today.".
