First, talk with your teachers and get your exact average.\nSecond, if you don't have an agenda, get one and write down all assignments.\nThird, never say you don't have homework. You do -every night until school gets out you have to be studying.\nThird, see if you can get someone to tutor you if you don't understand something.

I am sure you already know that you have to study, but here are a few other things. ALWAYS takes notes in class in every class. A lot of times what the teacher says will be on a test, so notes are a must. Make sure you set at least 2 hours per night for homework, even if that means telling your friends you'll have to hook up with them later. Get your friends involved with getting better grades. If you do it as a group, that makes it a little easier. Go online and get help if you need help with problems with questions. Get enough sleep at night so you can pay attention during the day. And most importantly, stay away from anything NEGATIVE (drinking, drugs, and friends that pressure you). Good Luck!!

Oh my goodness, you are too young to be worrying that much about grades!  Eeeek!  They push kids harder and harder as the years go by...\n\n3.7 is a great GPA!  It seems to me like math is your forte.  It is VERY common for people to do better in the classes they are more interested in.  We have a limited attention span, and we have to delegate what we really listen to, and what we don't.  Personally, I am not good at math.  So because I do not have a passion for it, I am more attentive in English.  And often, it is not even on purpose, but it's in our human nature to ignore what we don't care to hear.  But unfortunately, as you will learn in life, you have to force yourself to! \n\nMy advice for you...you seem to be doing well in math.  So, as that's not your 'problem' area, I would focus more on literature.  Ask yourself what it is about Literature that you are not understanding.  Do you have a problem finding the meaning of what you are reading?  Do you have problems reading a large amount of text?  Try and figure out what it is that is making the class difficult for you.  Let a parent or guardian know, and they can definitely help you!  Another person to ask would be your teacher.  They are there to help you learn, and if you are honest with them and say "I need help," they will be more than willing!  Especially since it affects their salary! (or at least it will soon).  Another idea is to find a friend in the class to study with.  You may be too young, yet, to have study groups.  But I have been studying with friends since late elementary school, and it helps a lot to hear the information from someone other than a teacher!\n\nOne technique I have used before is while you are reading a short story or article, write down the main characters, their roles in the story, the plot, important events, etc...  When you are done reading, review the notes you took and it will help solidify the information and make it stick better!  College professors actually advise students to review the information they learned in class immediately following lecture because you keep it in your short-term memory longer, which will make it easier to translate to long-term memory!  \n\nAlso...an honors math class...a 3.7 GPA...you are NO dumbie! :)  And even if you get a bad grade on something, it does not mean you are dumb!  I consider myself an intelligent person, and I have failed tests/exams before.  Sometimes, you just have bad luck or you get a brain fart during an exam!  It happens to the best of us!! So don't worry, and if all else fails, ask for help! :)

No.\nYou really don't fail a grade, you fail a class.  Depending on what your teacher says, you might have to take that class in eighth grade.

COLLEG ALGEBRA!  Yep it had to be a math class.  I was never good at math in high school so, I new I would not be good at it in college.  Did I pass or drop it.  I did neither on at first.  I failed it.  I took the class over in hopes that I could raise my grade atleast by 1 letter but, that didn't seem to happen.  I ended up dropping it the second go around.

You gotta be kidding.  If you're in the class you should be able to easily do those, especially a and b!

It all comes down to averages my friend and you would have a 2.9.  Sorry....your D hurt you.  Better do some extra credit work.  The scale is as follows for your future reference (oh, and there's really no such thing as an A+):\n\nA = 4.0\nA- = 3.7\nB+ = 3.3\nB = 3.0\nB- = 2.7\nC+ = 2.3\nC = 2.0\nC- = 1.7\nD+ = 1.3\nD = 1.0\nD- = .7\nF+ = .3\nF = 0

Well you have a choice;you can give up or try harder. I am hard on myself with grades too so I understand you are upset but failure happens to everybody and it sounds like you were due.\n\n “I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong”\nBenjamin Franklin

You have to get it inside yourself to improve. if you try to improve just for that semster or something, technically, you haven't improved. You've just crammed some good grades in the grade book so you can have a good grade in that class. You have to develop the whole attitude of,"ima get my grades up because it will improve me as a person not just in this particular class." Thats what i did. I got one C in the third grade and i have been making straight A's, skipped a grade, and have been placed in many academically gifted courses. So a week wouldn't do it. You gotta work on it, seriously. Sad, but true!!!

That is a hard sell. An A+ is not easily granted, or should not be.\nYou obviosuly have good study habits, so you need to focus on the little stuff. Instead of 97 on tests be sure you ar prepared to get full credit. Talk to your teachers about extra credit and special projects. Perhaps a science fair or a research project of some sort.

Just sit down.. and do every question if u have a text book. this method helps me keep my grades in maths.

ask her why you are getting the bad grade, maybe you can work out your differences. If not, then do your best so that your teacher has to mark the answers right. If she still marks them wrong, then go to the pricipal etc.

I had this same problem (but in college so I'm really feelin' for you!).  I think the study group is an excellent idea.  I would also express your concerns to your student advisor.  This guy should not be teaching and is obviously ill-suited to teach this subject.  Just because someone knows a subject doesn't mean they can teach it.  I would seriously get everyone in the class together and try to ask your teacher if everyone is supposed to be feeling so frustrated and afraid that they are going to fail.  If he gives everyone in the class a low grade it will reflect badly on him so if he is still being unreasonable suggest that he grade on the bell curve and hope you are on the good side of the curve.  This is a tough problem but definitely let someone in the school administration know that this is going on.  Good luck.

B+ is great, but an A+ is even better! strive to do your best. If you don't get A+ at once, don't give up. There are infinite possibilities for you as long as you work hard.

First, figure out how you are going to do better this semester. Then, tell your parents flat out what your grades were. Ask them to help you with your plan to raise them. They might be mad at you for getting bad grades, but they will be much more supportive if you take a responsible approach to them.

D is passing if the class is a generic class not associated with your major, if you were majoring in history and got a D in history that would be failing. (or at least that's how it worked in my school)

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.
