1.) Get in a study group. In college, most successful students study in groups, but in high school, it's rarely done. Group studying allows each person in the group to learn from the other persons in the group. There are 2 facets to this:\na.) If you know something, you can pass it on. Better yet, by teaching a skill that you've mastered (or are mastering), you help keep yourself sharp and help remember the skill.\nb.) If you are having trouble, the rest of the group can share the approaches that helped them understand the problem.\n\n2.) If your still having trouble, consider hiring a tutor, either for yourself, or to work with your group. \n\n3.) Get sleep. Get 8 hours of sleep a night except in rare circumstances. Losing sleep will invariably make it harder for you to learn and remember - studies show that your brain needs sleep to help it process and permanently learn new information learned during the day.\n\n4.) Don't spend too long on one thing. If you're going to study, limit sessions to 2 hours, then go do something else for an hour. Exercise or physical activity is actually a very good way to break up study sessions.\n\n5.) Talk to your teachers, and see if they can't either give you extra help, or barring that, ask if you they can provide you with pointers.\n\n6.) Try the Cornell Note Taking method. See sources.

I'm really sorry to hear you are struggling. You seem to have hit a rough patch, but don't give up on yourself. You are making some great progress in your life: \n1) You are holding a job. Okay, so the job sucks, but it won't be forever. Keep an eye out for other opportunities.\n2)  You are working on  your education. Your grades may not be stellar right now, but you can change that, too. \n3) As a student, you have access to the school's resources, like Career Services, who can  help you find a better job, improve your skills, update your resume, and become excellent at interviewing. You can also speak to academic counselors that can guide you to tutoring help (often free) and emotional counseling support. \n4) You are trying, and if you speak to your landlord or creditors to make an arrangement, you may find a sympathetic ear. They probably won't write off your debt, but they may give you an extra week or so to collect the money. \n5) You are recovering. You've made many of the hard steps already. Don't give up. See your counselor and get more support. \n\nThese things show me that you are strong, you just need to trust in your ability to make it through this. And when you do, you will have proof of your resilience. You may need a good cry, but don't give in to saddness. Collect all your skills and go change your circumstance. \n\nBest wishes.

I would study the things the book and teacher have gone over in class.... gather a study group because they may know stuff i don't, and eat well and rest. if you don't know your stuff by mid term, you better pray too!

You are probably just wound and worried about the tests. You will sleep when you are ready. I think you are just in that fast paced go get 'em mode. It will pass and you will sleep. \n\nHope you get some rest soon!! You earned it!!

Well, studying would be good. Unfortunately it sounds like it is way too late for you to fix it now. Good luck. Hope this teaches you to pay more attention, study harder, and ask the teacher for help early on.

You need to do your very best to put this behind you for the sake of your test. I'm hoping that your sporatic typing is evidence of how stressed out you are so I am not going to go on that too much. Slow down, take a deep breath and concentrate on your studies. Don't take any phone calls and don't let anyone harrass you. If you do get someone on the phone, tell them that pressuring you doesn't help and politely say goodbye until your test is done. I really feel like you may have more deep seated problems than what you are telling about here. I would deal with those as soon as you can. Counseling may be a good idea for you. It would also do you well to learn some good relaxation techniques. Do some running, play some good music, don't over study. I hope it all works out well for you.

Here it's afternoon, but thanks anyway.\n\nI am a student and today I have 11 hours of studying. So today won't be a good day for me.\n\nHope you have a good day.

Do you feel overwhelmed? I know when I was in school, I constantly worried about my grades and exams and I felt OVERWHELMED. When I felt overwhelmed, I couldn't concentrate and I didn't feel like doing my homework etc.\n\nSo, I did my homework a little bit at a time. I studied for short periods of time and that helped some with being overwhelmed.\n\nIF you don't feel overwhelmed, maybe you're choosing the wrong major to study. Do you feel excited about classes? If not, maybe you need to take some different classes to mix things up and explore.

I know exactly how you feel! Last week I had an English Test, and I got two wrong answers in multiple choice, I was devastated, just thinking, "if I would just marked the other one". I couldnt stop thinking about that. But after thinking about it I just concluded that I cant make my life miserable for a C grade, when all my other grades are As and Bs, life go on, get over it, besides the school year just began. That test is over, past, now you have to look forward, and study harder for your future tests.\n\nCheer up, and enjoy life\n\nHappy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Go to the school nurse and ask if she has maybe a heat pack to put over the area and if you can lay down for a while.  She/he should sympathize!  Good luck!

perhaps refreshen your study room, brighten it up with bright paint, clear out the debris, open the windows, let in fresh air, take a quick shower, set yourself a break time before you get stressed, have a buddy to call you for 'keeping on track'...reward yourself, listen to positive motivation tapes in free time, take up a a new sport for boosting energy,...and talk things out with a counsellor perhaps...might be something there troubling you, choose uplifting music in the background and even splash some Bach flower remedies and aromas around, to clear the head and to revitalize you.  don't get down about things, you'r doing a great job....and hey!! its okay to work with a buddy too....find more buddies and have a different one each night...that makes each one, one a week, and is not tying them down monotonously.

I would of went up to the teacher and asked what you got. Maybe the teacher put yours in the wrong pile. Some people that sleep during class or dont study maybe bored in the class thats why they get awesome grades. Some may be just luck lol. I know when i took test i would study hard and be so nervous thinking i would forget something and mess up. Try to relax next time during a test. Dont be so nervous.

Hi, first of all I feel sorry for you. Tough hey. Try getting up little bit earlier. Don't you have spare time in between classes maybe? Tape notes for yourself and listen while taking a bath or before bedtime. Good Luck !!!!

Wow.  You take me back.  I had to handle school and four children from age 2 1/2 to 7.  It was a long time ago - 25 years.  And I was younger.  But I know how you feel.  I always thought "when I have the time, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown, because I deserve it."  Funny, huh.  \n\nTry to make sure you get enough sleep.  Without it, school is so much harder.  See if you can get help with babysitting.  I wasn't aware til my last year in school that the state would have paid for babysitting for me.  See if you can talk to a counselor there and find out all the programs you qualify for that might give you some help.  Enlist any friends or family and don't feel guilty about it.\n\nI felt a lot like I was not giving enough attention to my kids, and maybe I wasn't.  But now they have children of their own and they grew up ok.  \n\nTake some deep breaths.  Know you can do it.  And that it too will pass.  (I wondered at the time if that light at the end of the tunnel was really an oncoming train.  It just didn't seem to end.)\n\nGood luck to you.  And, in a funny way, thanks for reminding me of things I have been through.  I admire you greatly.  By comparison, the things that are going on in my life right now do not seem so bad at all.
