here's what I want to know:  is there anything you enjoy about physics?\n\nI know that's an odd question, but here's why I'm asking:  if you approach your studies as an opportunity to learn something new, it'll become less of a chore and a memorization thing. Concentrate on learning concepts rather than facts and formulas. \n\nIn high school you're taught to regurgitate information. In college it's usually (hopefully) different. Most professors want to broaden your mind, and that's not going to happen if you're just spitting out facts and figures. \n\nThe best way to stop worrying is to enjoy the process. Really.\n\nI'd recommend going to the prof and asking him what you're doing wrong--tell him you really want to succeed in his class.  (you may be surprised by his response, hopefully in a positive way)

I find that in order to know math really well you gotta practice, practice and practice. Take out a math book and just do some examples. You will see were you are weak (ask someone for help, of course) and many times you come across a difficult or tricky example you will be glad you came across while studying and not during the test. Good Luck!

Keeping a regular time everyday for studying is a good idea. In that time keep a specific time period for a subject you need to improve in. Practice questions of that subject everyday and read up lesson everyday. Keep a timetable so that in week aside from homework you can study the subjects. For exmaple, keep a day for studying biology, another day for geography etc. It will help you. \nAlso I would recommend a meditation, it helps improve concentration. Sit straight and comfortably, focus your breathing, breathe deep hear the sound of your breath. Do this for 5 to 10 mins. It'll help. Good luck!

Make some good notes, do not just 'read' by making notes you are more likely to absorb the information. Split each subject up into sub-headings so that each element of a subject is broken down into bite-size chunks as opposed to attempting to digest a vast amount of information.\n\nAsk for help if you need it, don't suffer in silence. I failed all my mock exams and was very concerned so I spoke to my tutors who were very helpful and I passed the real exams. Also speak to your follow classmates, they should be able to help you out too or provide support.\n\nGood luck! Overall, just try to understand the material the best you can and don't leave it to the last minute!

Start studying!  Get a tutor if you need help.  And don't be embarrassed by it, there's no shame in wanting to better yourself.

The only thing you can do.  Keep going.  Find out why you are not doing well.  Surely it's not brain capacity.  If it's lack of effort or time spent studying you know what to do...

I was given tips on this. \n\n1. Do not rush. In each part you only need about 55% correct from each section to pass.\n2. Skip questions you know might take too long.\n3. In reading, reading all of the story isn't required. Look at the questions first.\n4. Work on your weak points.\n5. Sugar and sweets might cause you to think slower.\n6. Do a brain exercise in the morning. Example: When brushing your teeth, count how many strokes you take. This gets your brain working faster.\n\nWell, that's all I can really remember. Hope this helps.

As a teacher, I could offer a few tips:\n\n1. Ask your teacher for extra help after school. He or she should be willing to make sure you understand the subject; plus it shows the instructor that you truly care. In addition, see if you can get a classmate to tutor you in any subject you might have difficulty in.\n\n2. Conduct group studies. You'd be surprised to discover how much you can learn studying with friends -- if you remain on topic. Creating a study group the night or two before a big exam could really help you prepare.\n\n3. Eliminate distractions during your study time. Turn you cell phone on vibrate. Turn off the television. Don't pay attention to your AIM. Give your text/notebook/worksheet your undivided attention.\n\nThese are just a few that should help your study habits.

1. Eat Right (Don't Skip Meals)\n2. Organize (don't just reread notes) create outlines from your notes & readings, organize the raw material you've collected all semester (this process in and of itself is a form of study)\n3. Study - again not just rereading, try testing your self (make up questions or see if your texts have questions at the end of chapters etc.)\n4. Sleep - staying up late cramming won't help it will actually decrease your ability to test well.  So get to bed and get some sleep\n5. Take a walk before the test, get the blood flowing and clear the mechanism (so-to-speak) this will help you.\n6. The standards (your first instinct answer is almost always right, but always go back and check your answers, make sure you read the question correctly, answered all parts of it etc.)\n7. When you finish a test, put it out of your mind (again, exercise can help you here) and move on to the next one.  Stressing over the result of a test that is finished can effect how well you do on the ones you haven't yet taken.\n\nGood Luck

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.

If you're already a B student, a good way to study is to find a student who is struggling and tutor them with their homework.  Teaching something is the very best way to ensure you know it.\n\nAt the very least, find a study partner to work with and discuss your assignments with.\n\nAlso, it's very helpful to look at past tests and quizzes to review what you missed so you don't miss the same questions again.  Very often, subjects build on the prior content.  So, making sure you have a solid grasp of what you have done throughout the year will really help.\n\nGo in for extra help from the teacher.  Often, teachers will help you focus toward what's on test when students come in for extra help.\n\nFinally, study early.  If you start studying early in the week and build on that, you mind has the ability to store the information in both long term and short term memory.\n\nGood luck

You probably don't need to get smarter(not sure if anybody really can); you probably need to be a little more efficient in your studying.\nTry asking the teachers for a little more help and if that isn't doing it, try some of those learning centers...It's probably that you learn in a certain way and what's being taught just isn't clicking for you.

1/  Make crib notes of important points to remember...these are good in jostling your memory...\n\n2/  After an hour of study...take a practise test on that subject/chapter...even if it is an old test...this breaks the monotomy of just reading and helps you see what testers would be looking for...so you know what to retain and what is okay to "know broadly"\n\n3/  Mix up your studying with discussion groups with your friends...be serious about it though....agree to read on a chapter and meet and discuss....you will actually remember more if you make the subject/material "come alive". Also a great way to learn difficult material....\n\n4/  Study early in the morning when you are fresh and likely to remeber more then spend the afternoon doing soemthing else....practise tests, discussion groups or just relaxing.
