Maybe give some free advice about: School?
The two biggest tips are:
*space study time out, do it bit by bit over a few days
*do it before you are going to bed, go to bed right after you are done studying, the memory holds items MUCH easier when there is as LITTLE other distraction in between study time and recall. In other words, the more that happens (the more conversations, thought processes, etc.) between when you study, and when you take your test, the harder it is to remember what you studied.
and remember, don't put too much pressure on yourself, stress just makes it worse!

study over a couple of days. like if your test is friday start studying monday. study a little bit everyday. this way you will have more memory of it. cramming for a test never helps but studying over time does :)

What I do is to try to relate things I know I need to remember to my life, or to make jokes about them. As corny as they may be, believe me, they work! You'll sit there thinking of what the answer is, and the dumbest sentence could come into your mind and really help a lot!
Also, writing things over and over again usually gets things into your memory.
Another great way to study is to actually teach someone else something. Ask someone of they need help studying and try to help, or talk to a sibling or parent about what you're learning.
Good luck!

Try making up memory tricks!
For example, every week in my english class, we have a vocabulary quiz. My friends and I make up little memory tricks with the words, such as:
"Becca was quite [word] when Alex stole her book."
or something like that.
I hope this makes sense and helps? =]

I had the same problem. Every time I studied, I'd just forget it all once the test was in front of me. What you need to do is make notecards. They really, really help. If you need to study words, put the word on one side and the definition on the back. Then have somebody (ex. parent or sibling) test you on them. Have them ask you what the word is, and then you'll have to tell them the definition. If you do this enough, eventually it'll be etched into your brain long enough for you to remember it during the test.
