Ahhh my fav subject. 7th grade.
I was just like you. I played basketball,volleyball,softball,cheerleaded and was in jazz band,concert band,chior and still got straight A's. Now i am NOT bragging. I am just gonna give you a few tips on 7th grade.
1.) Like someone else said. sit as close as possible to the front of the class. You can hear the teacher better and read the chalkboard better too.
2.) Take notes.Take notes. Take notes! Sipmple tips on notes:*if ur teacher says something 2x write it down...*if they say "And remember....." write that down....*REMEMBER take short and simple notes that you understand!!!!!..*if they say this will be on the test, WRITE THAT DOWN!!That is KEY
3.) Study more for tests. Find a quiet place and read part of your notes and flip the notebook over or have someone question you on the facts. For me i record my self saying parcle peices of the notes on my Ipod and listen to it while i sleep.(weird but it worked!)
4.) Finnally, if you love sports and extra curriculars dont stop playing them! I have found that kids in extra things tend to do better because they apply them selfs in something. Jsut make sure you find loop holes in the scedule to do home work and study! It will be ok!!!! You can do it!!!!
REMEMBER SCHOOL CAN BE FUN!!!EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK SO!!!
*hope i answerd ur question!!!!*

Do your homework/study whenever you have free time.
You shouldn't spend more than 1 hour and 30 minutes on homework. Seventh grade is not that hard unless you're taking honor classes.

I have two tips for you. They don't actually have to do with studying, but they will help you do better in school:
1) If you have a choice of where to sit, always try to sit in THE FRONT ROW, or as close to the teacher as you can get. This seems like such a simple thing, but it is a HUGE help, because it forces you to pay attention! When you're right there in front of the teacher, you can't talk to your friends, write notes, doodle or daydream... you have no choice but to pay attention. And if you've been listening in class, you won't need to study as hard, because a lot of it will already be in your head.
2) Ask lots of questions and participate in class discussions as much as you can. This will show your teacher that you care about the class and that you're really interested in the subject they've chosen to teach. There may be times when your teacher will have to decide whether your test or paper deserves an A or a B... and if you've gotten on the teacher's good side, he/she may subconciously give you the higher grade.
Good luck!

Hey if you're going into the 7th grade you wouldn't be 13 yet. (please comment back on this)
The best thing for you to do is to make a scheduel. Start your homework right when you get home from school, but do it for 3 mins, then take a break and get a snack or call up a friend or something. Then do your homework and study for 30 more minutes, and so on. if you have a friend over make sure it's on a day that you have no test or quizzes the next day and you don't have that much homework. Also, listen to your teachers carefully and DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK A STUPID QUESTION. I know how many times you have probably heard this, but honestly--it's true. Lastly, always be prepared. if you have a test friday, study ahead of time. Good luck.

hey
look, academics is your number one priority. sports is second.
if you start out 7th grade with lots of trouble, you should consider dropping a sport so that you have more time to study. that is my honest opinion.
you should consider making a schedule & STICKING to it. designate 1-2 hours of ONLY HOMEWORK time. aka, no phone, no IMing, no hanging out with friends, watching tv, etc. in that frame of time, get ALL your homework / projects / studying done.
i am a straight A student right now, and it was PRETTY easy to get there. you just have to prioritize. write down every assignment you have in your agenda (that's what we call it.. like an organizer) & invest in a monthly calendar at home. write down all your assignments on it & all your other extra curricular activities. that way, you can see how much time you have left after each day to complete each assignment.
i'll tell you what i do in addition to that. im SURE you've already begun getting overlapping assignments, which is when you have more than one assignment due at at time. when i get an assignment thats due date is closest to today's date, i get as much done on that one as possible. i'm not the type of person who does "a little bit each day." i start a task, i end the task & move on to the next one. i dont know how you are, but that's how i function & i find it to be very effective.
think about it. you have a to do list of 20 things. wouldn't you rather be able to check each thing off as you do it instead of doing a LITTLE bit of each one? you feel like you've accomplished nothing, when you actually have!
to be perfectly honest, sweetie, 7th grade is the easiest of all of middle school. in 6th grade, all the teachers load up on work saying, "THIS ISN'T ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ANYMORE! IT'S MIDDLE SCHOOL!" & in 8th grade your teachers say, "WE HAVE TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL!" if you do really well in 7th grade, 8th will be a breeze...
you just have to learn how to manage your time & stay organized.
another tip i have that i find VERY good :] is you have a separate binder for each subject. now, i know you're thinking, "that's crazy!!" but if you have a 1/2 inch binder for every subject, you don't have to take as many binders to each class (aka less binders being unnecessarily dragged around). if you have a math worksheet, for example, and you need notes from your binder, you only have to take your MATH BINDER home. not your "everything" binder. it's that simple. also, keep a homework folder. if you ONLY have a math worksheet & don't need your notes, just stick it in your homework folder instead of dragging your whole binder home! :]
now that i've told you everything you need to be organized for 7th grade, just go to this site -
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
- & read up on each link. there's lots of different types of studying, so no one can really tell you HOW to study. it depends on how YOU retain information.
it's only july 10 - don't worry too much about having trouble with 7th grade. try your best & do the BEST work you can. don't skip homework when it only takes 10 minutes.
i'm sure you'll do fine. just believe in yourself.
[ oh & i'm really sorry this is kinda long, but i kinda had to say all that stuff ]

Study a half hour before bed. How old are you, because the younger= the better. If you are younger than 14 or so, it will be easier for you to study. Leave your age in the feedback, and I will get back to you.
Try to study on the way to sports practice, or use flashcards while you eat meals.
Hope I helped.
