get a tutor. go to the library find the last table in the back and DO NOT tell any of your friends where you are going. Don't listen to music if you find yourself singing instead of studying. Get a study buddy, someone you know that will make you work. Your MOM would be great

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.

When you study, don't cram the night before. Study over your notes et cetera 4 times a day every day at times when you are in a quiet room with mo interruptions. \n\nHappy Trails!

I found the best way to study for my exams was to breakdown everything I needed to know into little topics.\n Then I would get a piece of a3 paper and do big spider diagrams for each topic and draw pictures to help me remember. I used to make up little songs and rhymes as well. Sounds stupid but it work. \nOh and when your in your exam a good tip someone once gave me was: read though the whole exam paper, put a tick next to all the questions you definatley know the answer too. Then question marks next to the ones where maybe you know the answer and a cross next to the one you havent a clue. Then go and do all the questions with ticks, by which time you brian is focus and you will probably have remember the maybe (question mark ones) ones so that when you come to the lasts crosses (havent got a clue ones) one you brian is correctly in gear and the crosses will hopefully be question marks if not ticks!! hope that makes sense. good luck

What methods can I use to prepare for tests?\nOrganization is very important when you have a great deal of information to study. I recommend these methods: \n\nReview your old tests. Make corrections if you have not already done so to avoid repeating your mistakes. \nGo over your class notes. If you do not understand something you have written, or if you have "holes" in your notes, ask your teacher for help. \nTry to anticipate the kinds of questions your teacher will ask on the test. Make out some sample questions or even entire tests. \nReview the chapters in your textbook that the test will cover. Pay particular attention to boldface terms, chapter summaries, and questions in the text. Most important of all is the recommendation that you understand there is no easy way to prepare for this kind of major test. After all, the time you spend in preparing should pay off when you do well on the test. \nSet aside time each day to work on your subjects. Even if you are all caught up, spend the time to go over notes or your textbook. \nTell your teacher that you would like to talk about your progress in class, and ask for suggestions on how you can do better. \nGo to the library and check out books that are on the same topic you are studying in class. \nPay attention in class no matter what is going on around you. This will be hard, but if you can concentrate on what your teacher is saying you will learn the facts and skills that you will find later in tests. Keeping up with homework and participating in class are very important. \nAs for tests, here are a few suggestions to help you: \n\nTalk with your teachers about your concerns. They really want you to do well and are more than willing to help! \nWhat type of test is most difficult for you? Do you do better on essays than you do on multiple choice questions? Decide which type of test gives you the most problems. Then you can learn techniques for taking that kind of test. \nAre you studying effectively for your exams? Here are some ideas that will make a difference. \nMake sure you know what material will be covered on the exam. There is nothing worse than studying for hours only to find out you were doing the wrong chapters. Go over your notes. Do not wait until the last minute to study. Try to tie all your information into a big picture in your head. Visualize information. Get a good sleep the night before, and eat a nourishing breakfast. When you first sit down to a test, start answering something, anything, immediately. Once you start, you will be on a roll. Do not get discouraged!\n\n\nOR\n\n\nGo to a nice, clean, neat desk in your room. If you have paper junk and leftover pizza slices on your desk, studying will not be the biggest problem on your mind. \nMake sure that you have all these study supplies: a pencil, a notebook, books to study, and good old-fashioned silence. Unless you're completely positive you work better with music, turn off the stereo. Focusing is hard enough without Beyonce telling you "you make me lose my breath". \nGet out your pencil, notebook, and book to study. Brace yourself. \nOpen the notebook and book you are studying. \nRead the chapter or whatever you have to study in your book. Concentrate. \nWhile you are reading you want to make notes of the little things. Make it short enough so that you can study it. Make short little breaks now and then (think half an hour of studying= 5 minute break) unless you're cramming, and in that case, good luck to you. \nGet a friend, Mom, Dad or someone to test you on what you have just read and studied. A key here would be to make sure that the person has a fair amount of patience. \nDo this every night until the day of the test/quiz. Depending on what you're studying and how much time you have, give yourself assigned time slots. \n\n\n\nTips \nYou need peace and quiet for all the steps above (or at least, they greatly HELP). \nYour attitude greatly helps the outcome of your study

Try and relax. You need to sleep every bit as much as you need to study. If you did well in all your classes this year then you should have nothing to worry about unless you are a bad test taker. I was a bad test taker....I was lucky to have professors that knew that and graded me on my class work and homework.\n\nI wish you the best of luck and relax! You can do it.

You should try 'active study' methods.\nMake short notes and summaries as you read. This works for all subjects.\nRemember that you can only concentrate fully for between 30 and 40 minutes at a time and that the most productive time is the second hour of study.

1. Have a regular time and location to study.\n\n2. Get ahold of upcoming lessons and read ahead. *The reason for this is important. If you study ahead - when you do take the subject in class it is a review for you. You'll actually be ahead of the class when preparing for your exam.\n\n3. Work with someone who can help you - not distract you. * This is a mastermind technique you'll use in the business world. Get use to it.\n\n4. No TV. ( a little quiet background music is acceptable)\n\n5. Learn memory techniques. Do not rely on rote memory. * Use ridiculous association for subjects where you have alot of facts to remember. Your mind is like a filing cabinet. If you don't have a filing system you won't know how to retrieve the knowledge when you need it.\n\n6. Use colored post its to mark , "must knows, could knows, and should knows. Remember - most of your hard cover books are filler. Focus on what your teacher wants you to know.\n\n7. Eating before study causes blood to go from the brain to the stomach. Watch when you eat.\n\n8. Get plenty of rest. Don't party on school nights.\n\n9. Do "all your assignments!" "Write all your tests!" - falling behind because of missed assignments or classes will make studying difficult. If you have to miss a class - have someone provide you with notes and <ask> the teacher if you're confused. DO NOT FALL BEHIND!!!! Knowing your subject is like building a house. If you miss information your foundation will be weak and your house will not hold up! That's why students who miss class have a bad time of it.\n\n10. Set a goal for yourself in each subject you take and shoot high. That is to say...shoot for an A and you'll most likely get a B. Write your goal in the present tense - I.e. It is Jun 2007 and I have completed Math 30 with an A plus. (Describe the reaction of your teacher/parents/friends and how good you feel about achieving your goal. "Remember - if a goal doesn't have a time limit set on it - your goal is just a dream!"\n\n11. Never get into a tiff with your teacher - show genuine interest and you'll see a higher grade.\n\n12. Keep good notes - no...excellent notes. Notes that refer back to your text book and highlight the must knows! Have a table of contents.
