Study hard, take notes in class, don't slack off.. sometimes it'll make you fail, pay attention in class.. and you'll do js fine.

Make sure you pay attention in class and ask plenty of questions! If you don't understand something, the teacher won't know to explain it differently unless you speak up, and chances are other people are having the same problem.

Try and look over your notes every night for a few minutes so you reinforce the information in your head. That way it'll be easier when it comes time to study.

Depending on how much trouble you're having, you might want to ask a friend who's doing well to help you study, get a tutor, or go to your teacher(s) for extra help.

We could help better if we knew what specific areas are giving you trouble--if it's understanding the material, remembering it, or getting it down on paper.

Im in the tenth and make A's, but Im no brainiac either (for example I probably just mispelled that word!) You should study for test well in advance, don't cram it in last minute. If your teachers give you multiple choice study guides, mark out all the wrong answers so your not distracted by the incorrect choices.

A teacher taught me this technique my freshman year and it really works for study guides, if you dont get those, which most students do, then just be sure you ask your teacher to explain what you should study and what the test will cover.

calm down about your tests. dont overlook things and study during the few nights before the actual test date. cram sessions arent that great because its hard to retain the info and its stressful. talk to your parents and they may be able to get you untimed tests so you dont become stressed about how much time you have. hope this helps! this all helped me. ♥
