I study a lot and I just keep getting average grades? How do I help pull my gradeup?
(Don't say study I already do)

How about you do some practice problems everyday. Ask your teacher for help. Maybe your brain can not process the math. I dunno.

Sometimes we falter because we forget some of the basics of Mathematics and generally the things we over look are algebra basics.
To really ensure accuracy you start off with the basic rule BODMAS. Then revise simultaneous equations. Proceed to Quadratic Equations. Practice long multiplication and long division with pen an paper. Learn the meaning of 22/7 and memorise the value of Pi upto 6 decimal places. Learn and revise the use of Brackets in every possible form. Go on to basic trignometry. Learn the use of algorithms and algorithmic multiplication. Proceed to Geometry. Learn about triangles. Learn the Pythogorus theorem. Learn the equations for a circle - area, radius. Learn the basics of volume calculation of a block as well as a pyramid. Learn the basics of volume of a cone. Proceed to equations of velocity,light,mass. Learn the theory of integration and the Binomial Equation by heart. Learn differentiation equations and its meaning. Learn the relevant greek symbols like Sigma and their use. Learn the Parralellogram and its related theorems of velocity and physics related aspects like Parralelogram Law of forces. Study Eucledian maths theory. Study Pascals laws AND MUCH MUCH MORE ...
To do all this you must first make a library of terms. This can be done by buying a diary with alphabatically arranged pages. Just run through all the topics and make alphabatcial summarised notes of all the mathematical concepts. When you have run through the entire mathematics syllabus of your class or course - you will have a long list of items in your diary. The process should take about a week of 4 hours a day.... and the nature of the study will be over view of the lessons every day ..
Now that the foundation has been laid - start with chapter 1 and start solving all the questions one by one till the end of the book.
And you will have done it all by the end of the year - One hours self study and practice of 1 hour a day - total 2 hours a day would see you firmly on the saddle by mid academic year. Another hour a day to briefly self preview the next days class before it has been taught by the teacher will ensure 100% understanding of the entire class as it is taught by the teacher ... let me know after a year how you fared - remember there are NO short cuts to success in Maths!!

Study, haha just kidding. Here's my tip. Have more than one person explain this stuff to you. Have your teacher, and maybe a friend who makes good grades or a tutor. I found when I was in high school that I was able to teach my friends better than my teacher could, Just because the way I could explain it. My teacher taught me fine, but other people need different takes on things to learn it. Some people need closer attention, some just need pictures or something, So try a few people to explain it to you better. When you find someone who explains it good, ask them if they will help you out more often.

After you study a subject, try the problems given at the end of the chapter in your book. Keep practicing on them.
Mathematics is all about problem solving

Practice. Put the calculator and yahoo answers away and just do all the problems you can find. That's the best way to improve.

Put more time into studying, and if you don't understand the work ask your teacher to help you out,even if you have to stay after school.most importantly ask if they offer extra credit!
