You have to get motivated and make time to do all of your homework (it helps, it really does), and you have to take the time to study.  Really, there's no other way to do it, and school is so important.  It's the ticket to your future.  You just have to put some effort into it because when you're an adult, it won't matter what you wore when you were in middle school or how popular you were or what video games you played or what movies you watched...\n\nWhen you honestly are trying your hardest and still don't understand, that's when a tutor is appropriate.  However, you can't expect to get a tutor to magically make you understand everything if you aren't willing to put in the effort yourself.

You spend your class time paying close attention, taking notes and doing the assignments to the best of your ability.  Then, you spend your AFTER school time studying.. even when you don't have homework.. you study the lesson ANYWAY..  You ask your teachers for extra credit work and then you do your VERY best on them.  You will not only raise your grades and your GPA, but you will impress the teachers which DOES make a difference, take my word for it.

Take the SAT/ACT and enroll at your local university. I did it in 7th grade and graduated a year and a half early. You will have to petition your local schoolboard for advancement. Be prepared to do so. Also, talk to your school counselor and gifted programs teaacher. You may wish to get a psychological evaluation as well, you will need one.

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.

Don't worry about the "correct" grade.\n\nBeing held back s one of the best things  that can happen to  a child.\n\nIt guarantees that he will be one of the older kind in his class.  Things come much easier to the older kids.  The younger kids are always scuttling along, trying to keep up.\n\nWhy make things harder than they have to be?

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.

Have you tried going to you counselour and asking for advice? Have you talked with your teachers for a way to pull your grade up? Most people are willng to work with you \nIF your genuine about achieving you degree, this might be hard since your on probation but IF you are genuine about your education you might be able to figure something out with your college board members, teachers, something.\nSorry probably wasn't much help.

Just get some good sleep, eat a good breakfast, and remember that it doesn't affect your grade.  Most schools plan a big party or at least extra play time during or after tests. \n\nJust skip what you don't know and come back to it, and relax.  Once you are doing it you won't be nervous anymore. You don't have to get them all right, and I am sure you'll do fine!

Listen to "In the Middle" by Jimmy Eat World and follow that advice. As for homework, as much of a pain it is, do it, it will pay off in the long run. \nChose friends wisely, not for their popularity, but for how they really treat you, and be a friend, not one of those snobs who is only nice to "cool" people. Remember, those who pick on others only do it to make themselves look better because they don't like themselves, so don't let that get you down. The next few years will be rough, but they are rough on EVERYONE, so even those who seem to have it all together, really don't.  And, once you get through it all, you'll be an adult, and no longer a kid...you can survive it.

Grades?!?! Good God, you're depressed because of GRADES? I'm sorry, I know this doesn't sound like the most supportive comment, but if my biggest problem was GRADES I'd consider myself the luckiest guy I know.\n\nUgh, listen: Talk to the girl, hang out with her, and don't let something like grades get you down. In fact, don't even think about your grades at all. Just do your homework, and study for your tests and that whole grade problem should just disappear.

You want to take as many honors or advance placement (AP) classes as possible and earn the highest grade on all of them (A's or A+'s).  Also do not take only "easy" classes (like cooking, driver's education, basket weaving, etc.).  Be sure to score well on the placement exams (SAT, etc.).\n\nBesides good classes and high grades, you want to have many extra curricular activities, such as being on the student body, officer in the science club, volunteer at the hospital, etc.  Also try to win awards in things like debate, decathlon, etc.  Being in the school sport team helps too.  I know it sounds like a lot but the point is being a very well rounded person, instead of being a "nerd".\n\nGood luck!

Does anyone else get A's? Ask them how they do it.  If not, ask the teacher what you need to do to get an A.  But it would be easier to find out from another student.

You need to know for sure how many points your school gives for each grade.  (The original way was for 4 points for an A, 3 for a B, 2 for a C, 1 for a D, and 0 for an F....).\n\n(Although some schools now give more points for a "+",  or fewer points for a "-" at the end of the grade).\n\nAnyway, add up the points and divide by the number of graded classes.  (If you use the original way as stated above, you would have 1 @ 4 points, 4 @ 3 points, and 1 @ 2 points, for a total of 18 points.   Divide 18 by 6 (total classes), and you would have a 3.0 average.

All a higher gpa will get you if you are already at the university level is honors.\n\nIts best to try an understand the material better then it is to strive for a high gpa. Pass your courses and do the best you can to understand everything you are learning.

Ask a teacher for help, or ask a guidance counselor at your school. There may be free tutors available to you, which can help you boost your grades.\n\nAlso, it would help if you believed in yourself. You aren't retarded, you're just having difficulties. Things will get better, just try your best to apply yourself and always ask for help. There's no such thing as a stupid question!

Well, first of all, think about what you did before that made you get those grades. Now, think of ways to improve them. Second of all, you need to get rid of all distractions while studying. For example, don't watch TV on school days or don't use the Internet on school days unless it is emergency or homework. Trust me, it really works! Finally, do your best in everything. Don't give the teachers any possibilities to give you low grades. Just focus, believe in yourself, let nothing stop you from doing what you can do, and have faith in God AND YOU SHOULD DO FINE.

the grades you get in school can make a difference in the rest of your life.\nit means being able to go to a better college, or scholarships, and the better the education, the more money you make for the rest of your life.\nif you wait until after school and talk to your teachers about what problems you are having most will be willing to help you understand the school work better, if your parents are pressuring you for better grades, maybe they will pay a tutor to help you.
