I really depends on if you are auditory (learn better by hearing and speaking) or visual (learn better by reading and writing). \n\nI feel that many auditory students have trouble learning. I was that way. I was working just to make 'C's in High School and the beginning of College. One day I was driving to school and I realized that I knew every word to the music I was singing. I didn't even try to memorize the music. \n\nI though I wish I could do the same with my school work. Well I ended up reading my whole chapters to tape. Then I listened to the tape again and again. Remember I learn better by listening, so when I am reading I don't learn as well. That means that when I am reading the book to tape I am not learning as much. Later when I listen to the tape, I learned a lot better.\n\nTry it, tell me how it goes.

Wayyyyyyy back when, my biology teacher led us through procedures that pretty well guaranteed decent grades.\n\nHe had us keep notebooks with at least five sections. Notes, daily work, drawings, tests, and another which I forget.\n\nNotes were taken in class. Daily work was homework or free study work where we had to answer questions. Many of the questions could be answered right out of the book, but we had to rephrase them. Drawing, for biology, explain themselves. It wasn't art, but developing the ability to see what we were looking at and reinforcing it by making a labeled sketch. Tests, so that we could review right and wrong answers for future tests. Everything saved was corrected so that we had the right answers.\n\nThis notebook, along with the memory aid "SQ3R" carried us through what we couldn't discipline ourselves for or invent on our own.\n\nSQ3R was for reading our text information: Survey (skim it first), Question (what questions does the skimming raise), Read (look for answers to the questions while reading the text), Recite (find some way to talk about the new information. Relate it to something), Review (look over all the materials in notebook and text before quizzes and tests).\n\nOne other tip he gave us for science classes was "learn the vocabulary. You will have mastered half of the subject if you learn the special vocabulary and understand what it means."\n\nTo show how effective what he taught was, here I am repeating what he said 45 years later.

Oh my goodness, you are too young to be worrying that much about grades!  Eeeek!  They push kids harder and harder as the years go by...\n\n3.7 is a great GPA!  It seems to me like math is your forte.  It is VERY common for people to do better in the classes they are more interested in.  We have a limited attention span, and we have to delegate what we really listen to, and what we don't.  Personally, I am not good at math.  So because I do not have a passion for it, I am more attentive in English.  And often, it is not even on purpose, but it's in our human nature to ignore what we don't care to hear.  But unfortunately, as you will learn in life, you have to force yourself to! \n\nMy advice for you...you seem to be doing well in math.  So, as that's not your 'problem' area, I would focus more on literature.  Ask yourself what it is about Literature that you are not understanding.  Do you have a problem finding the meaning of what you are reading?  Do you have problems reading a large amount of text?  Try and figure out what it is that is making the class difficult for you.  Let a parent or guardian know, and they can definitely help you!  Another person to ask would be your teacher.  They are there to help you learn, and if you are honest with them and say "I need help," they will be more than willing!  Especially since it affects their salary! (or at least it will soon).  Another idea is to find a friend in the class to study with.  You may be too young, yet, to have study groups.  But I have been studying with friends since late elementary school, and it helps a lot to hear the information from someone other than a teacher!\n\nOne technique I have used before is while you are reading a short story or article, write down the main characters, their roles in the story, the plot, important events, etc...  When you are done reading, review the notes you took and it will help solidify the information and make it stick better!  College professors actually advise students to review the information they learned in class immediately following lecture because you keep it in your short-term memory longer, which will make it easier to translate to long-term memory!  \n\nAlso...an honors math class...a 3.7 GPA...you are NO dumbie! :)  And even if you get a bad grade on something, it does not mean you are dumb!  I consider myself an intelligent person, and I have failed tests/exams before.  Sometimes, you just have bad luck or you get a brain fart during an exam!  It happens to the best of us!! So don't worry, and if all else fails, ask for help! :)

Study more, and pay closer attention to the subject. MAke sure you understand, what you need to know. Also do your homework. Take your time to think about and don't rush. If you don't understand it, ask someone who might be able to help. Good luck, these are the tips i use to get straight A's.

extra-credit!  see if your history teacher does the extra-credit thing.  if so, take the opportunity!  sometimes extra-credit can take a C to a B.  \n\nif he/she doesnt do the extra-credit thing, bummer.  but there is also the work your butt off and make sure you have the best work on your paper before turning it in approach.  this could even take it to an A!  \n\nbasically, just do your best.  I know that everyone says it, and you might say that you are, but if you are getting a C, then your not because just about everyone is capable of getting B's and even A's.  \n\nGood luck!!\n\nPS  get a nice pencil, for some strange reason that helped me a lot with my science grade and other grades as well.

Depends on yourself and your specific needs....I've gone through so many methods to get to where I am now. The classic way that is always helpful is to have a planner of somekind to write homework down in. If you do this, make sure you can read your writing, you write down all the relevant instructions, ans especially the due date. Though one of my best methods of keeping track of everything is to use my friends, but keep in mind asking one person doesn't mean they have the right answer. Its best to use some of both ways.\n\nAs for organizing stuff...I have a shelf at the foot of my bed where I keep all my school stuff...no room on my desk. (My backpack goes underneath along with PE clothes and stuff) On top I keep my books and notebooks. I have a file folder for each class, I found I got too lazy to keep puching holes in stuff or bothering to take my whole binder out of my backpack, the folder slides in and out better. \n\nFor remembering what you need in the morning, when I get home, or maybe later, I sometimes take a piece of paper and write down all my homework, highliting or somehow indicating stuff due the next day and stick it where I can see it (that depends on your room/where you do work)\n\nIt all depends on your laziness level and what works for you...experiment...but really writing it down and rembering to check your planner is one of the best ways to get started.

Well, I don't know how to motivate you too much, maybe try taking to a friend or parent, maybe the teacher. Ask them to help you stay on track. But remember that even if you are not motivated, you have to do it. Once you start doing, that usually helps with the motivation. And keep in mind that it's ok to get a bad grade every once in a while.

Dont worry about it! u get way better grades then i do and i am in sixth grade. those grades are great! Those are above average, because those grades arent C's and a C means average. So even if you did get a C that would still be pretty good. Please dont worry about that, I would kill for good grades like that, and even if you did get a bad grade that doesnt mean you are not smart! Just try your hardest and dont slack off, and be proud of yourself, I hate to sound corny but dont sweat it. those grades are Great!!!

Be yourself.\nDon't try too hard.\nSeek out contact with your classmates, but let things happen naturally after that.\nDiscuss your interests and find people with common interests.\nListen more than you speak.\nBe prepared for resentment when you destroy the grading curve!

quit being lazy? well, i know it's not that easy. you know that you can be lazy and still be good in studies at the same time. you just have to know what you're doing and be on top of everything. i'm lazy and i still get by. i just keep in mind which stuff are due when and when do i have to start working on them. if they start creeping up on me, i start doing them so by the time they're due, i have something to present. also, don't get behind on your classes. don't skip because you'll have to make up for that one way or another.

I suggest that you can go over every problem that you hasd as homework and classwork. If you dont understand one, go and ask the teacher for help. Do some extra problems just for practice. This way if you understand the material that is going to be on teh test, you will get a good grade.

Your just a regular 6th grader. I was kinda like that. Your fine. Just do your home work more often. Iknow a lot of people who don't do the work and it really hurts their grade.

Well, how can we guide you better than this guide does?  So, you have to revise your paper, and how can we help you without having your paper to examine, to see where you went astray?  Did your teacher mark your paper in this and that spot, pointing out where you slipped up?  Are there any comments that were made in writing on the paper or verbally?\n\nI don't see how you can get any significant help with this from what you have posted...we don't even know what the subject of the paper is.
