I have never 'crammed' or studied much for test. I can read things and then while taking the test it is just like reading the book. I just flip through the pages in my head.

Doing well on tests is a combination of information recall, understanding and application. You need to be able to understand the question, recall the correct information and apply that information to the question in the proper manner.
Usually different subjects require different approaches for each person, and each person will look at a test differently.
Mathematics requires not only the recall of the formulas but the ability to understand how to use the formula and how to interpret the results. History will require the recall of names, dates and other factual information, the understanding of how it applies to the question and the ability to apply that information through a well-worded answer.
Usually people who have a problem studying are studying too hard. The goal would be to study smarter. Create mnemonic devices that will allow you to remember the facts that you need for history, and practice the formulas that you need for math.
These are a couple of examples, you have to find your own way to succeed in each subject. If you continually have problems, talk to a counselor at school. Many times they have valuable advice that can help, or can spot something that is keeping you from being able to study efficiently.
Good luck.

you can't, unless you're genius! the best way to study for a test is to study the material over a period of time, e.g. 3 days before the test. so you can really master the material. don't cram for a test because you won't learn anything even if you study for hours and hours.

Well, if you don't already know the subject, all you have to do is pay attention in class. I've found that, for most classes, if you don't spend all your time taking notes, and instead listen to everything intently, you are more likely to understand everything. Plus, if you don't take notes, you can't really study at all. So, honestly, try not to focus too much on taking down everything the teacher says, and just pay attention. You'll learn much more that way.

well you will have to devote time to get good levels. but if you concentrate on a subject and you are not getting distracted by nearby things then you can give less time on studies. by the in which grade are you?

it depends how well you are at the subject.. if you suck at english, then you would have to study and study. but if you were good at math, then you could probably get an A.

Anything worth having is worth working hard for. You can do it, just keep the goal in mind.
