I never really was the type to study for tests. Pretty recently, since my test grades have dropped, I'm not allowed to go on the computer during the weekdays, since I will be expected to study to improve those grades. I do well on homework, since I have the resources [internet, notes, ect.], but when it comes to tests, I feel that I do SO well on them and am SURE to get a good grade; when it's handed back, there's a big C written on it. I don't understand what's going on. I know the material, and am NOT about to let my grades slip down the drain. I just don't understand what's going on. I think it's because I rush through the test, and don't go back and fix silly mistakes. I'm just not motivated enough, I guess.. I just need some tips.

Do not say the following:
'umm idkmibffjill look it up on google?'
'eat breakfast!!!' [I already know that]

Please put some effort into your answer.

Thanks. :)

When studying, I find that studying right before you go to bed works wonders.

Because if you study something before you sleep, you'll be pondering about it for the entire night - extra 8 hours of study time every night.

I do this for every test and quiz, and I always get A's and B's by using this method - once got a C cause I forgot to study before bedtime... :S

Try it out and see if it works for you. :)
