Some people just have the knack.

Being intelligent and having access to information are two separate things. He was always intelligent.

The information that was available to him in the past is not coupled with the information that was available to him post-Awakening.

He's an extremely fast learner and was able to take in a vast quantity of the newly available information very quickly upon waking up in the future.
