High school classes are really hard for me, how can I make it easier?

The quick answer is to study more for your tests and go to your teacher with any problems or misunderstandings you have. All high school teachers want their students to go to college and be successful. Talk to your counselor about your problems and have them set you up with a tutor.

Set yourself up a schedule.  Everyday when you come home, relax for 30 minutes.  Then start on your homework.  By now you should be able to judge how long each subject will take you.  If you have 6 classes and some are easy an some are hard.  Mix them together.  Example if you know your Math homework will take you 30 minutes, but English will take 1 hour, History will take 30 minutes.  Just go back and fro and until it is done.  Tell your friends that between 3 and 6 you will not be answering the phone or be on the computer to talk.  That way you won't have any distractions.  You will soon find your grades going back up.  Also talk to your parents and teachers they can help.  Ask your parents that if you get back on the Honor Roll and stay there the rest of the year can you have a new music CD you want.  I am not saying it will work, but you never know.

the very fact that you are asking this question means that you are far more prepared than you think. my advice to you, is, if your school is large enough such that you have a choice in your teachers, find out who the best teachers are and take their classes. also, if your high school is decent, they will have some kind of advisory program. get to know your advisor, and your teachers. when they see how motivated you are and how concerned you are with your own progress, they will bend over backwards to help you.

Hi there,\nThe key to getting good grades is not just working hard; you also have to know how to study and what to study. Everyone has their own way of studying, what works for one person may not work for another. For example I have to study the last couple days before the exam otherwise I won't get the results that I want. Now if you tell anyone this, they will tell you that I'm wrong, but I'm not! I listen and concentrate on what my instructors say in the class but I don't really study during the semester unless it is the night before the exam and IT WORKS FOR ME. One of my classmates however, studies every single night and that works for her. You have to find your own style. u have to study alot, try to really pay attention in class, rightnow im in my freshman year and yeah its pretty tough! so try to study more and go to the tutoring lessons. The other thing is that you have to know what to study. Listen carefully to your teachers during the class. They usually put greater emphasis on the stuff that are going to be on the test. Make sure you take a note of them and know them very well for the test. Setting a high goal is good but if u cant hit it but a grade lower is oso v good. Cos' at least u have tried, dont overworked urself, do u know some people cant even dare to set a goal? This tell, u are already the winner. \n\n=D Good luck! \n\nI hope this helps

Well, you probably already know that if all you want to do is survive, just stop doing school work. No one dies from failing to get a high school diploma. If you want to be a good student without completely stressing, do a search on time management and study skills. You could also check out "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens"

Difficult, but you would have to change your study habits.\n\nI would recommend getting a spiral notebook for each class, and take notes on the right side only.  Then when you get home, re-write your notes on the left.  It helped me learn more.  \nAlso let your teachers know you are really trying to get your grades up, and see if they can offer any help.  \nTurn in all your home work.\nWhen you take tests, go over your answers to see if they make sense to you.

Study more, focus in school and accept the fact that you have to work harder.  also consider asking your parents to help you get  a tutor if you have certain difficulties with some classes.   no more Internet , TV,  no cellphone.  study everyday even if you don't have a test.

When I was in seventh grade, last year, our teachers didn't give us exams.  My ideas are though, that if you didn't understand the classes, than they will be hard, but if you did than they'll be easy.\n\nTips that I can give are, take your studying lightly on the day before.  Only study what you absolutely have no clue on.  Make sure you don't cram the whole night.  It is no good and does no help.  Just study lightly.

Go talk to your teacher.  It's semi-early in the second half of school and she'll appreciate your initiative and that you show you care about school.\n\nYou need to focus on what you don't understand.  It's important for high school too.

Make sure to ask questions or ask for help if you don't understand something.  You are capable of getting passing grades if you try.  If you are really trying to do your assignments and do well in school, and you are failing, you are probably not placed in the right class, so talk to a school counselor.  School counselors are also good supports for dealing with the "drama" and personal issues.\n\nTry to find some friends who are a positive influence on you and support for you, then try not to get caught up in the drama, which is in every high school.  Use a journal or someone you trust to talk to that is outside the school (like a parent or mentor) and hang in there.  High school is over before you know it.  But make sure you pass so you can graduate.  Good luck!

Ok, if you REALLY insist on dealing with school and college. \n\nFirst, make sure you do actually like reading and learning, could be anything. If not, pump gas or something.\n\nIf you DO like it, then force yourself to sit and look at the books. A few hours a day maybe. No matter how boring it is. Then get at least Bs and try. Then when you get to College it will be pleasant to be able to choose more what you sit and stare at for those few hours. Also, you will know how to do boring memorization and math when you have to. Those are the main skils you need in College. The more you lie what you have to learn, the easier it is. Its good discipline to be able to learn whatever you have to. Like eating only rice for week or so.

First you answer all the questions with the right answers in class. Act like you love being there. Then, throw them off by doing the homework they give you, but don't let them know that you hate it. This will trick them into thinking that they are "teaching" you. They will be fooled into giveing you great grades. Good luck

Get organized. U won't be able to do anything without knowing what is goign on. Study for a least an hr. a day, and if u don't get the material, get a tutor they help a lot. Also if ur school has any after-school clubs that help kids that are having trouble join! Take notes in class, and I know that this is sort of boring because ur teachers probably drone on about something that u think isn't important, but that will probably be in the exam, try to listen to ur teachers. Cancel all plans with friends because u need to pass or ur future is down the toilet. Make sure u study a lot (even on weekends!) I hope u pass the exams I know they are SUPER hard, but I sure do hope this helps. Don't worry a lot of people go thru the same thing u ar going thru right now! If u need any help, use Yahoo Answers there is a lot of people out there that want ot help (like me)!

Study harder. If that's not the problem then talk to your teacher & try to figure out what to do. They will know best what you need to do to pull up your grade. Oh and tell your parents if you are still in grade school so they don't find out later & get really mad, unless you know you can pull it up or they won't find out. But if you do tell them then approach them with the "I'm really trying & I don't know what else to do" attitude so you'll be less likely to get in trouble!

High school is really rough, but you already know that. First, get through this semester's finals. Then take some time to think.\n\nI'd say to find a way to organize and find someone who can keep you on track. Write down your goals for the semester (grades, clubs, teams), academic year, and each of the years you have left until graduation, as well as for college and beyond.\n\nLook at your goals and figure out how to get there. Ask yourself what you really want in life - what is it that makes you feel alive? It's okay if the answer changes, but get an idea of what you really desire and pursue it. If you lose interest, move on to something else. I changed my career choice in high school at least 7 or 8 times and my major in college twice. Then I went BACK to school...twice for additional degrees. Nothing wrong in that. So long as you are able to find happiness and keep growing, you're on the right path.\n\nAllow yourself to make mistakes - they happen, just learn from it.\n\nPlan your high school courses from the future to the present. Say you think you'd like to be a pharmacologist (one who develops new medicines). Call a couple of colleges of pharmacology and ask them what you should take in high school. Plan to take those courses, and chart out what route you need to take - honors, regular, essential level classes, and also whether two years of math is fine or if you need to do four years plus two summers (my cousin did this to get into an engineering school and he's so glad he did, even though it was hard).\n\nNow that you have a course outline, talk with a guidance counselor about when to take which course. Plan time in for yourself, too. If you like to exercise, make time for it. If you like to pray, make time for it. If you want to join a club, make time for it.\n\nAs for your classes, you'll find they go a lot easier if you take good notes, re-read the material the night that you first learn it, and review the previous class's materials for a minute or two before the next class. Plan on doing homework most of your first weekend back at school so that you get ahead (even if there's not a lot of work to do). \n\nAnd take every Friday night off to relax with friends or family or just doing whatever you like to do. You'll need the break.\n\nGood luck!

I think you'll be fine those classes mostly depend on teachers nad how much they want you to know, but the subjects themselves are mostly common sense, it will be hard but not too hard, it is definately possible.

Your best bet is to go to your teacher and schedule extra hours with them each day and study a lot. Keep doing the problems over and over until it becomes automatic. There are a lot of homework helpers out there if you do a little research you will find one. Your school can help you with this. Find a teacher to help you that you like and  you can relate to and learn from-that's important
