Nobody needs to jump down this lady's throat just because she asked an incomplete question. She is just concerned, obviously. Its late, give her a break.\n\nI too have a daughter that just got out of 1st grade yesterday, and is on to grade 2. Here in FL, they had tests called "FCAT" tests, which btw are exams, that they must pass to enter into the next grade. She passed with flying colors and I was asked if I might consider allowing her to skip grade 2, and go onto grade 3, as she excels in every area of study, but Im still thinking about it. You wouldn't believe the types of work they give kids nowadays. I graduated in 2001 and I feel like I am going to definetly have a hard time helping her with some subjects, reguardless of my college education. I wish your daughter the best, and hope she passes those exams, as I know they can be difficult for some children. Good luck and best wishes to you and your daughter! Fingers crossed for her:)

Find a quiet, undisturbed place. Memorize important dates for events. Know why things occurred, like cause and effect. Most of all, study from your notes, and read from the book if you need more help. Make flash cards, quiz yourself. Make sure you know how to do math problems, and if you aren't comfortable, do the practice problems and check your answers. But study for Social Studies especially tonight ^_^ Good luck!!!

1.  You are no longer the "newbie".\n2.  You are expected to be more "mature".\n3.  Your classes will be a bit harder, but ask your teachers for help if needed.\n4.  The only big difference is if you live in one of the states with standardized testing. That's the biggie that takes place in 10th grade.\n5.  Don't sweat it. Don't let people put you down. Treat others how you want to be treated. \n6. Start looking at colleges and taking the PSAT.\n7.  BE YOURSELF!!

Isn't it a Saturday..?\n\nMaybe you're in a really far off time zone or something... *shrug*  Anyways, my advice is to keep yourself focused and on task by starting to think about what's going to be on that math test.  Talk to people around you who are going to take the test also, but instead of talking about how hard they think the test is going to be, ask them what they studied (that means: talk to someone who you know *did* study!), and if they have any last-minute tips about what to remember for the test.  Make sure before you go in for the test, you also take care of the little things that might get in the way of concentrating during the test -- stop in the restroom real quick, get a drink of water before you go in the classroom, and make sure you've got your calculator (also make sure it doesn't need new batteries), and a *sharpened* pencil.\n\nBest of luck!

To a third grader the task seems insurmountable so you need to make it seem less intimidating.  With all my classes I always did this activity at "times tables" time.\n\nI wrote all the times tables lists on the chalk boardor white board, from 0x0 to 9x9 in lists of the 0 times, 1 times, and so on.  Then I would say to the kids something like, "Ok, here are all the times tables you have to learn" and they would all groan.  Then I'd say, "Let's look at this and see how easy it really is".  So first we'd see how many they already knew, and usually we could establish that everyone already knew all the 0 times, 1 times, and often 2 times and 5 times, and we would clean all of those off the board in each place they occurred (two places) so we would begin to have gaps. \n\nThen we'd talk about the finger math method of figuring out all the 9 times and erase all of those because they could quickly come up with those.  (The method is described in the first link.) \n\nThen we'd look at the ones that were left and talk about the fact that every single one was there twice, as 8x7 is the same as 7x8, etc., and we'd erase one of each pair.  Then we'd be left with the ones they actually had to concentrate on learning.  By then the task didn't seem nearly as insurmountable.\n\nI've included a couple of other links that should be helpful.  Good luck with it.

Talk to the teachers about what you can do and do it well. Finish up all missed assignments and if possible do extra credit work. Good luck.

first of all, let me assure you: you will be learning about the world you live in a long as you draw breath on the planet. science is life. anatomy, zoology, botany, chemistry, physics, mathematics, psychology, philosophy...every aspect of science affects life.\n\nyou have to learn science in high school to prepare you for the science you will get in college to be able to apply what you have learned to real-life experiences. if you are so blessed to live a long, fruitful & productive life, \nscience will touch every single decision that you make without a second thought on your part. \n\nright now, studying science in high school is like watching paint dry. i know, i feel the same way about algebra! but hang in there.\n\ni didn't see the relevancy of algebra in real life until i went back to college three years ago after being in the workforce for over thirty years. that's right - 30 years! \n\nthe light came on for me when i realized that i had already been using algebra whenever i sat on a planning committee to build a new restaurant site, or hired staff, scheduled training hours, or designing a product mix for a menu. 30 years - & yet i couldn't do a linear equation, find the slope of an angle, or solve a polynomial on paper to save my life.\n\nwhen you are young, your mind is sharp. hang in there. science may seem boring as crap right now - it is. but thirty years from now, you will flow thru life applying one thing or another that you learned in high school without a second thought. \n\nask me how i know! ;-)\n\n(my apologies if i sounded like your mom - my bad!)

Dear Lord,\n\nPlease help me circle the wagons!  There is no parallel for my situation.  I'm surrounded by squares who will ace this test and I forgot to study a segment.  Be my ray of light, beaming through a kite of confusion.  Send down your angles to assist me.  I need points on this test.  Please, send me a sine.

Why did you wait until the night before the test to start crying out for help.\nNext time, make the teacher take time to bring understanding, even if it means staying afterschool.

Well study and review right before the test. It sounds to me that you need some improvement in your study skills! Try writing the info down or typing it out, it might help!

Ask your teacher if you can have some extra credit to bring your grade up. Also maybe some after school tutoring would help. Just ask your teacher, thats what they are there for. I am sure they will be more than happy to help you.

Study, do your homework, see if there is extra credit that you can do.  There is still a lot of time in the school year.

You need to give more info if you actually want help. Study harder, pay more attention in school, and do your homework. I'm sure you'll be fine. You can also ask your teacher if there is anything you can do to bring your grade up. Like extra credit, or somehting you haven't turned in. Good luck.

Go through your materials and the notes you took in class and see what applies. That's all your teacher is asking.
