Study is the obvious answer, and I think you know it's not enough. You can get perfect marks if you study with passion and intelligence the subjects you really are intrested in. You must be costant, determined, and very concentrated when you study and you will get the best results. \nBest wishes!

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.

The most effective way to study is by taking notes on the things you have to study for. Take notes when your teacher(s)gave you the date of when the test or quiz is going to be on. Don't put down EVERYTHING...only put the 'important' things down. And don't put any defintions down. Put the defintions on vocabualry cards. Once you have the notes and vocabulary cards down, study it everyday. Once you have memorized the defintions on the vocabulary cards always study at night, or in the morning. Don't do anything else when you are studying the vocabulary cards. You will be distracted and might not get it down. Study the notes too. But a better way to take notes is on a blank piece of paper leave about 4" blank by scooting to the right. Draw a line down the middle (doesn't have to be straight). After you have taken the notes, on the very left where you left it blank, write down questions, and you should number it so it will be way easier. Even after you have taken your test, you should still study it, because when you have your finals you might need it.\nThat's a really good way to study.

The best, easiest way is to show up for every class. Never skip one. And contribute - ask questions, answer questions, show the teacher you're paying attention. Nothing's easier than being there and nothing will get you better grades. Forget about trying to impress anybody, be yourself.

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.

Be willing to learn new study skills is a good place to start. Also setting up a term calendar and study routine is a good idea. When you know what you have to have done and what amount of time you have to do it in you can better allocate your time.\n\nRead every day. If you have a paper to work on, start it the day it is assigned, even if you're just brain storming.\n\nMake sure you attend as many classes as humanly possible. Of course if you're in a car accident or mauled by dingos or something you can't go, but other than that, you should show up. Make sure you take notes and if you miss a class get notes from your classmates. Go over your notes, they may help you in guiding your reading and are invaluable study materials.\n\nTake care of your health. Get lots of sleep, drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods. I know that's not always possible but if given the choice between an apple and a chocolate bar, choose the apple. Try and get 20 minutes of exercise 3 times a week.\n\nKnow your limits. When you feel burned out or just a bit blue, call up a friend and go out for coffee to relax a bit. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Just because that guy in your calculus class can take 5 classes and work two part time jobs and get a 4.0 GPA doesn't mean you have to!\n\nMost important, remember that this time is for you. This is your education and your future. Don't peddle it away trying to live up to others expectations. Set your own goals and enjoy achieving them!

hey try out these....\n1. try to study alone(no combine study)\n2. think of ur objective all the time.( what grades u want to        \n   achieve etc)\n3. avoid all other distractions (including ur friends,party                \n   etc.)\n4. if u really like the subject u r studying, concentration   \n   will come automatic (u will bw in a zone). SO TRY TO                  \n   ENJOY UR STUDY RATHER THAN LOOKING AT IT AS A HURDLE)\n5. still if u have problems with concentrating, well then..\n   \n6. good luck :)

I think that all you need is a Hish School Diploma or equivelant and you have to take the ACT or SAT test. That is what they look for. As long as you have that and the grades you can get in. Now another option you have is to go to a community college. They don't usually require a whole lot to get in and you can get your General Classes out of the way at a much cheaper cost and then after a year or two transfer to w four year university

Do the homework assigned .. all of it.\n\nand then some.\n\nYou might even try reading the assigned text and working every problem contained in it.\n\nthis appproach would require giving up a social life for\nthe durartion of the class, but it would guarantee passing\nwith a good grade.\n\nIf any problem stops you, go back in the text and do all\nproblems leading up to that one.\n\nAsk teacher if anything you encounter during studying\nis not crystal clear.\n\nyou can do it

Do it as soon as you get home, before you kick back to watch TV or internet or IM.  One secret: really read the books from your classes.  You'd be surprised how few people actually do so.  It's one of the easiest ways to get good grades.

the easiest way to get your grade back to where you want them, is to take the subjects your lagging in, wutever your having problems with try to break it down into something you enjoy, like science is broken down into simple everyday things and the same for math and what not so just try to focus wut your having issues with into being able to function again, science is as simple as eating a pizza and math as easy as doing the dishes you just have to find a way to look at it like that

Your high schools weight them to show you what type of kids go to what schools. Colleges have their own way of calculating GPA. So just take as many higher level courses as you can and keep that GPA near the 4.0 (The top A) as much as you can. Otherwise your weighted score doesn't really mean much.\n\nMore AP classes and more As give you a higher chance at more competative schools. \n\nThe ideal score is to get an A in AP classes.

In the words of my favorite poster\n\nSit Down\nShut Up\nPay Attention\nDo Your Work\n\nOther than that, school will always need effort.  If you want to pass exams effortlessly, you need to pay attention to the clues your teacher is sending you about what's going to be on the test.  Trust me, as a teacher, I always leave clues to what's on the exam.

First of all, way to go.  I'm a single parent of two and in school and I know how hard it is.  I find that time management is the most important as well as reading the material every chance you get.  I have a straight A average because I use the school's writing lab for all of my papers as well as having my friends read them and give me critical feedback.  This helps me get better grades and I make sure to always keep my eye on the goal.
