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. [ Daimeera's advice column | Ask Daimeera A Question ]

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. [ daisysmiles's advice column | Ask daisysmiles A Question ]
