Hey. like you said you need to get yourself into a routine. If possible, stay after school to get homework done or to study because there would be fewer destractions then if you were at home or a friends house. Secondly, if you don't stay after pick a time that you do your homework and stick to it. If you do your homework at 6 everyday for example make sure you follow through with this every night. Study for all your tests and get a good nights sleep every night. Good luck I hope you do well &heartst; Kelli

Don't put off studying and homework untill an hour before you go to bed. Give yourself 30-60 minute break after you get home, then get right on it.

Do homework somewhere free of distraction. No tv, no background music, no computer (except for homework related thing). Really, focus on it.

Do as many things as you can to remember what you study. Write it down, Say things out loud, have your parents quiz you, make up a memory aid. My best method is Flash cards. Just get some plain index cards and make them yourself. They work wonders for me.

And like they said, pay attention in class. This is major. This is why I usually don't have to study much to pass my tests.

Don't blow off any homework assignments, even if you know they won't be graded. It's important. I know it sucks, but make yourself do them.

If you don't understand something, or you just need it taught to you in a different way, stay after school for help or go in during home room or study hall. Seriously, don't be ashamed or embarassed. It helps to ask your teacher. Maybe if you're not getting it the way your teacher is explaining it, go to another teacher of the same subject to get a different perspective.

Get enough sleep at night. Your academic performance improves majorly if you get enough sleep.

Eat breakfast. You will be able to focus more on your teacher and less on when the lunch bell is going to ring.

When you learn something interesting or new, tell someone about it. It will help you remember. Even if you just mention it to your mom or dad, it will help.

Repetition is key. The more you repeat something, the more you will remember it.

Good luck!

I agree with the person below. If you really pay attention in class, you still have to study, but not as much. And don't let anything distract you. I basically just passed science and math last year because i did all the homework. Also, try studying like 10 mintues or so everyday. So, when it comes time for the test, you're not freaking out and craming it all night. If you have trouble remembering something, try looking it up right before the test, then right when you get it, write it down right away so you don't forget. That's about it. Try asking teachers for help if you don't understand something, or a friend. hope i helped :]

pay attention in class. i know there are tons and tons of distractions, but thats one key to getting good grades. another one is while doing homeowrk dont watch tv or listen to music. it doesnt help concentrate you at all. do all your homework. homework is almost half of your grade. study for tests. getting good grades on tests is essential. when i say study i dont mean 10 minute studying. i mean at least an hour. organization is also important. i know its alot of work, but its what you have to do.
