What I find best that works for me is to study independently. I don't rely solely on lectures to learn anything; so if you have a textbook, everynight outline a chapter with basic main points and do the practice problems. They usually have a self-check at the end where you can see how they solved it and to see if you're answer is correct. I've been doing this with chemistry, and it really is helping a lot. Also, look back on your previous tests and quizzes and try to figure out what you did wrong on the questions you missed.

Another suggestion is to talk to your teacher about some extra help after school for a tutoring session. This gives you the opportunity to clarify some concept misunderstandings and grasp the information better with one on one contact. If this doesn't work or you do not learn well from that teacher's teaching methods, compile a group of students for a study group. Hold it at someone's house and bring snacks and such to make it a little less awkward and more fun and educational.

You don't have to ask your mom about this, but have you thought about asking her to help you with it? Hopefully she'll be able to remember some knowledge about what you're learning about.

I hope this helps!

I think you should try and study with your friends. Maybe they know what you are learning and they can explain it to you easier. You can get a group of friends together and have a study party, because that might make it fun. Also maybe you could ask help from a teacher...i was afraid to try this before because i thought my teacher was going to think i was stupid...but he didn't and he actually helped me and explained a lot of the stuff we were working on in class.

I hope this helps

Ask your math teacher about tutoring, usually they have some sort of program set up and since you have 2 monthes you should have plenty of time. :)

Buy some revision guides - if you live in the UK, get the CGP ones, if not, look on Amazon for something appropriate and read the customers' comments on it to see how good it is - and do some online revision. Google a site, or if you live in the UK then you can check out www.bbc.co.uk/schools, which has stuff for GCSEs on the English board, Scottish board and even in Welsh.
Also, can you ask your teachers for extra help? You and your friends could have revision sessions too, and they could show you how to do some of this stuff. You might know how to do it but have just forgotten - I do that all the time - so going over it with a friend might help! Ask around and see if anyone else is finding the work difficult too, too check that it's not just you.
Good luck!
Blessed Be,

You have 2 months to study. Find yourself a friend to study with. Ask each other questions etc. If you can't find someone maybe your teacher will help you find someone. Good luck.:)

I feel pressured when it comes to exams also. Try getting someone who is really smart and have them kinda help you out. Go to the math teacher after school for extra help. Hopefully yours stays after more than mine.
They have books to help you study in the bookstore, but i suggest hooking up with somoen who knows their stuff to help you out.
