I have A's in English, History, and Art. My problem is in Pre-Calculus and Physics. I'm in 10th grade.
I feel really RETARDED when it comes to doing work in those classes.
I'm taking all Honors too, and I would drop out and take easier classes but unfortunately it's too late for that now.
I have gotten F's and D's on all my Pre-Cal tests, and we've only had one test in Physics and on that I got a 28%!! I couldn't believe myself and I had stayed awake ALL NIGHT studying. I don't know if cramming is the problem but sometimes cramming is the only solution as I'm busy with the other classes. I don't know...
Basically:
- I don't understand what the frick any of my teachers are talking about in Physics & Pre-Cal, it's gotten to the point where I've given up trying to figure it out and pay attention.
-I've been tutored a LOT - but still no help.
-Every math type of problem I do, I get stuck on it and need someone to guide me through. I think my main problem is self-learning and becoming an independent thinker
-Because I'm often busy I only get to study for tests a night or do before them.
-Teachers love to give pop quizzes, and since I always end up studying night before the test, I fail these too!
I need help and to prove to myself that I'm not stupid.....and that I just need to work harder. I tell myself this but HOW MUCH HARDER CAN I WORK?
Something must be wrong. I even talked to the teachers and they're just like, "Oh just practice more," - that's all I friggen do!
My report looks like this (although, it's 3/4 towards the end, midterm grades can bring you up one grade point)
English: A
Art: A
History: A
Pre-Cal: D
Physics: C
I'm just pissed and need some genuine advice and tips to help me get A's on math & science tests so I can bring up my grades.
Thanks so much guys!!
Love,
the effing retarded one =/ (link)

Stay for extra help one day every week for each class until you get it. Teachers usually have extra help days, and it's probably best if you get tutored by your teacher because they teach in a unique way. This way you'll know what they're talking about. Ask if there is any way that you can make up those tests. If not, try extra hard on the tests that you get from now on. Take your time, and recheck your work.
