And what happens when you get a job you don't like? Skip work? get fired? have no ambition in your life?\n\nYou can be setting yourself up to some major heartache if you don't focus now

In school I got average grades because I learned the standardised way rather than my way. MAKE LEARNING FUN.\n\nBasically divide a subject up into parts you can manage (put the parts together later when you understand them). Remember the order of things by creating stories or songs (see my answer on 'learning the first 20 elements of the periodic table by clicking on Carl), use colours to highlight important points, colour code the parts you divided earlier. Stick notes on your wall so you can see them. Paint pictures in your mind of the equation, the battle, the person you are learning about....make the subject real, touchable.\n\nSounds crazy on your first read doesn't it? :-) But these are the tricks that turned me from an average school student into someone with two degrees in University.\n\nHope this helps

I already went through my finals a week ago. I know that waiting for test and beginning term papers can be like torture. I'm like you, I like to get my work in early, that way I stress about it less. If you feel confident, then take the test early, plus I think professors see this as you caring about your grades.\n\nJust take a break somewhere nice, like go to park (I go shopping for a few hours). Remember to rest your eyes, and try not to lose sleep over your worry, because that will make things worse. \n\nSometimes the stress of college is all about preperation and planning.\n\nGood luck and I hope you pass :O)

First of all--stop being so hard on yourself.  You have a great GPA.  You should be proud of yourself for being able to do so well in challenging classes with a learning disability.  You have what it takes--don't give up--and it will pay off for you eventually.

How is everyone else doing in the class? I have heard of teachers that grade really hard and then curve a lot at the end of the year. So a %50 turns into an A grade.\nI suggest talking to the teacher and seeing what the teacher has to say.\nAlways-> If you are doing badly in a class you should always go to the teachers office hours. If a teacher knows you and knows that you are trying, they are more likely to give you a better grade. Even if you aren't doing badly, go to the teacher's office hours! There is a big difference between a B+ and an A-.\nConsider a tutor. Some colleges have free tutoring!!! Use all of your college resources, you are paying for it.\nIf you can still withdraw/drop from the class you should consider doing that. Don't just quit going if you can't drop the class!! If you can't drop or withdraw from the class formally with your registrar’s office then continue to show up if you have to retake the class. The more you learn now the better it will be the next time you take the class. \nBeware if you don't drop or withdraw the class officially, many schools, if you are retaking a class will average the two scores together. So if you get a 1.00 this time and an 4.00 (A) next time your overall grade is considered to be a 2.5. \nAs for Financial aid depends on the school. Many schools will give you one semester to mess up. They will consider you on probation and take action if you don't improve. \nAlso if you drop the class you could lose some financial aid and have to pay whatever the school makes you pay for a late drop out of your pocket.\nSee a Financial Aid counselor.

Well, I don't know how to motivate you too much, maybe try taking to a friend or parent, maybe the teacher. Ask them to help you stay on track. But remember that even if you are not motivated, you have to do it. Once you start doing, that usually helps with the motivation. And keep in mind that it's ok to get a bad grade every once in a while.

Take classes at a community college for a year or two and get excellent grades.  You can retake some of what you failed in the past if you need those classes for a degree.\n\nYour situation is not that uncommon.  Many people felt forced  into attending college right out of high school and they did poorly.  They needed to grow up some and bounce around for a while, and they often make very dedicated students once they return to school.  Good luck!

This is what I do when I'm in your situation:\nFirst of all.. you've started! Congrats. That's 3 less pages you have to do tonight!\nSecondly.. It won't be a crappy paper if you just sit down, say to yourself, Focus and Concentrate for a few hours and get it done! Remember, this is One night you might have to stay up pretty late just so you can get the 10 extra points and a good grade, as well as maintain your already good grade! I say go for it. I'm sure there has been many times you've stayed up late/pulled an all-nighter partying.. (which in anyones defense is a lot easier, laid-back and funner).. but you need this! Go For It! You will thank yourself in the end!! I promise.. --so long as you write it to the best of your ability.. also, if in the end you just aren't pleased with it, don't hand it in! Work on it some more and improve it and you will still get a good grade and be proud of your work! Good Luck!

here's what you do:\nmake yourself as concentrated as possible\nthen just study. once you get into your studying you will be able to stay studying for longer and it doesnt seem as hard\ntrust me, i have had that problem before\nthink about it, would you rather have a good grade on the test or be able to play games which you can do after?

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

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

Do your best, stay focused.  At the same time, address (to yourself and to the people around you who are concerned about you) any issues that you think might be causing the slip in your grades.  Demonstrate to those around you that you're aware of the slip, and that you're willing to tackle the issues that are causing it.

Put aside a certain amount of time each night to work on your classes. Try to become organized. Make a folder on your computer labeled School and keep all of your work in that one folder. \n\nDon't let yourself fall behind...it's horrible trying to catch up. Don't wait until the very last minute to do anything or you will get stressed out. That's probably the most important thing.  \n\nTry to keep it spread out so you only have to do a little at a time...it won't seem so daunting that way!

Dont be too hard on yourself. I've gone through this problem myself. Everytime it's exam time, I get really stressed out and think I wont do well.\nI know it's difficult to stop worrying about it especially when people have alot of expectations from you. Have a little faith in yourself and in God (if you believe in Him). Maybe your friends are going through the same thing. Talking to them could help. Or talk to your parents about how you are feeling. Take a break for a few hours and listen to some music or watch a movie to get your mind of things for a while.\nTry to get a good sleep. If you have been studying the whole year, then you are probably well prepared. Keep your options open, in case you dont get through. There's always a second time. But dont worry.\nYou have been working for it, so hopefully you will get through!\nBest of luck!
