Losing my papers is causing me to get a low grade (I used to be an A+ student). What do I do?

get yourself a folder that zips shut, I have one that is made for records keeping, many different dividers (made for alphabetical sorting) keeps things divided.  also wouldn't be a bad idea to always keep a backup copy on your computer.  If you type the work on your computer its easy to save it all, if not you could always pick up a cheep scanner and scan the homework!  You could even e-mail the files to yourself at an email you can get to from school.  Hope that helps, now if I could just find my car keys!

It's absolutely appropriate to tell them everything you told us here.  If you don't mind sharing this information with the Appeals Committee, then you should -- these are exactly the things that we look for.\n\nAs I'm sure you can imagine, a lot of students don't make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) simply out of laziness.  So, provide them with any information that you can to show them that your situation is different.  Tell them your story.  Let them know why you took a smaller-than-average credit-load (or got a low GPA) and assure them that you are now working hard to the increase the quality of your work.  \n\nBest of luck!

Go to your old school and ask for a transcript. Grades are not posted anywhere online for privacy reasons.

FIlle out all you FAFS ainformation and send it in, they will send you back another one to review and make changes on, when it comes back make the changes.\n\nThousands of students have this problem every year, if you still don't understand call them and ask them.

Study harder. If that's not the problem then talk to your teacher & try to figure out what to do. They will know best what you need to do to pull up your grade. Oh and tell your parents if you are still in grade school so they don't find out later & get really mad, unless you know you can pull it up or they won't find out. But if you do tell them then approach them with the "I'm really trying & I don't know what else to do" attitude so you'll be less likely to get in trouble!

What ever grade you want is how much effort you should put into your papers. You only get what you give. Try writing in an empty room, after 15 minutes of writing, take a break-go for a walk, or go get a Slurpee. Come back and get to work on your paper for 30 minutes, than take another break-you can make these intervals as far apart as you think you need them. No reason to submerge yourself in work with out a break in between. Good luck!

I think you have been blaming youself too much for your failures. Look, there is no other choice but to do the best you can from now on. And that takes positive thinking. Once you have the right mindset, you feel relaxed and your mind will be more receptive to new idea and information. Your marks will improve soon.\n\nDont worry. Be interested in what you study. And don't blame yourself when you get bad marks! Tell yourself 'next time, i'm going to do better'.

If you don't think that you are learning, you need to talk to administrator and if he/she won't do anything you need to have a serious talk with you parents about switching schools. Don't be worried about the grade your friend got; only worry about yourself at this point. If it turns out that you do switch schools, forget about your social life for a while (yes it seems impossible) but it seriously helps if you have no distractions. You need to focus on catching up to where the rest of the class is. Talk to your teacher about times when you can go in and ask for help on homework. Surprisingly, you will find out that teachers do not want you to give you an F. If they could, they would give anyone who tries an A. Last year, I had really bad grades because I had switched to a harder school. But now, I am proud to say I am all caught up! I even managed to get in to English Honors! The people around you will give support to you when needed. Parents are the biggest help also. My parents went and talked to my teachers to tell them to take it a little easy on me. Keep you head up high! Never say to yourself that you can’t make it through because if you tell yourself that you will surely fail. Also remember that you are not the only person who has or will go through this. You are not alone! I wish you good luck!

talk to your teachers and ask them if they could help. or ask another student to study with you. it is easier to study with someone else. it may also be a mental block - you've failed before and that is what is keeping you in check... also go to a (school) councilor to help you get passed this moment.\n\nGood Luck, kid.

I would be upfront with your parents and show them the paper.  Then I would discuss why you didn't do as well as usual.  Did you understand the content?  Do you need to get some extra help from the teacher?  Your parents will appreciate you coming to them, rather than trying to hide it from them.  Also, if half the class failed, it is apparent you were not the only student who had trouble.  I would ask your teacher about going over the work again.

Do your best, stay focused.  At the same time, address (to yourself and to the people around you who are concerned about you) any issues that you think might be causing the slip in your grades.  Demonstrate to those around you that you're aware of the slip, and that you're willing to tackle the issues that are causing it.

Ask your teacher if you can have some extra credit to bring your grade up. Also maybe some after school tutoring would help. Just ask your teacher, thats what they are there for. I am sure they will be more than happy to help you.

Well you have a choice;you can give up or try harder. I am hard on myself with grades too so I understand you are upset but failure happens to everybody and it sounds like you were due.\n\n “I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong”\nBenjamin Franklin

What I do is give myself a pep talk.  Overcoming the overwhelming feeling is half the battle.  Tell yourself that you can accomplish all that you have to do, and remind yourself what will happen if you don't and that it's not really that big of a deal.  We are so afraid of not getting things done when really.. whats the worse that can happen?  You get a lower grade, worst case, you fail a whole class and have to take it over again?  Life is too short to stress about 'what ifs.'  Just work your hardest, take some deep breaths and in the end you will know you gave it all you have.

i normally write things down and that way i take it in better, even if i'm just copying out. If you have past papers for the exam you should write out the answers for them and learn them. This will give you confidence that you can do some of the questions that came up previously. and - Good Luck!
