13/f
I'm in middle school, 8th grade, and I need a 6.0 to go to high school. My school is year round. So first trimester I had a 1.8 and now, 2nd trimester I had a 2.5. History is my worst subject and I have a plain F. Then in Science a D. And all the rest is A's and B's. I am really trying to keep my grades up and trying to get the rest of my grades to go up. I've been trying to study for tests but what I study is completely off. And I really don't know what to do. I talk to my teachers but I don't understand. My friend is helping me with the rest of my classes that she has with me but she doesn't have history and science with me. I am really in trouble and I don't know what to do, I can't let my grades go any lower. Any idea's what to do? And any studying tips? Thanks a whole lot!

Study as many general ideas you can get, but don't cram like some people. Find habits and ways that can get you to concentrate and memorize things with out having to add too much effort to them. Also, don't stress out when the test comes or even before the test. Take it slow and easy. Study what you've just learned that day. If you don't have that kind of time, set up a schedule you'll be able to follow. You should also try to take online quizzes and study guides as well as visit places or sites that keep your mind going. The more often you learn to think and memorize, the easier it will get. And if your friends are struggling too, try to set up study parties, and learn together while in the process having fun and hanging out with friends.

I suggest tutoring go in after school so you can have one on one time with your teachers while your there im sure they can give you advice on studying.
