I'm in England so i don't really get the american/australian school system sorry, but in England we have exams throughout the year to help us for our mocks and gcse's (English exams you do at 16) from the age of 8ish. If you don't have tests/exams throughout the year like i do, create your own or get a teacher or friend to do one for you, they're really annoying but have helped me so much over the years, i was getting B's and a few A's last year when all my friends were getting the same, now this year (going into Gcse year) I've been predicted A*'s for my gcse exams because i really concentrated when all my friends were chatting and being disruptive in lessons and not revising for exams like i used too. Now they're all annoyed because they've been predicted C's and B's lol. Just go over work from class over and over again and really concentrate in lessons, even if anyone says anything to distract you, you'll end up the better one:) It's not about being smart, it's about putting the time in to learn the subjects, you don't have to be a brain box to get good grades:) [ chloekc's advice column | Ask chloekc A Question ]

You need to stay focused and get things done early so you dont have to worry about procrastinating and putting it off until later. i used to do that al ot, i'd sugguest setting off a time of day, right after you get home from school, before you go to bed, whatever time you seem moves tofcused, and make that teh time u take to do your homework, make a space thats yours, make sure its completely clean and clutter free, it helps to keep your mind open and completely focus, make sure that there is no tv around that can distract you, I like to work with back ground noise, at first i played my ipod but i realize that i tend to get off track and want to sing with it or something, so i got a stringquartet Cold play cd that theres no singing just music, and it sounds like classical, it helps your mind be at ease and it helps you think.
Good luck next on your next report card! [ Patron_saint_of_Squirrels's advice column | Ask Patron_saint_of_Squirrels A Question ]
