Answer 1

Ask your teacher if you can make up the test and then give that test to her. But if you do have a make up test then study harder for that one!

Answer 2

You must determine what it will take to get a C, B or A grade. You cannot just plow your way to better grades. Some things have to shift. Usually things like, social life, television time, video games, romantic life. It is time and organization that increases your grade point average. There are books/ study guides on how to be a good student. Universities have courses with that title. Look in the reference section of the library or book store, ask for help selecting a book then read it and do all the exercises in it. You will have to reprioritaize you workspace. You will need a desk at home, proper reading light, earplugs, supplies like paper and a computer. If you don't have these, find a regular seat at the library and go everyday. It is said that it takes 2 hours of homework for every hour of class. So if you have math for one hour per day then that is 2 hours for homework...to fiqure out the problems, do them and recognize how you solved the problems. You might need a tutor. Ask for one at your school and then google "your town, math tutor, high school tutor" or whatever you need.
Many good students go home, shower, change clothes,eat a bit then do homework until dinner, working about 3 hours after dinner as well. Pack your backpack each night for the next day. Be early to school, perhaps helping out in the office. then get to all classes on time. You will feel better about yourself and your relationship with the teachers and you will therefore feel more inclined to ask questions in class, ask for help or have a teacher that wants to help you. You may have to change your reputation and the friends you once had might not be comfortable that you are changing. Just notice what they do but don't reveal that or how you are changing. They may put it down because they feel threatened. Keep it to yourself. Handle your business at school. Be on time, ask questions, do your homework. Take a phone book and look in the section that has a list of all job titles like dog groomer, dentist, etc. Take a highlighter and highlight anything that sounds interesting. Do not think about it too much or say to yourself that you don't have the training or education yet or don't have the money to do it. This exercise will help you determine what you are interested in or may be talented at. You will also see how many job titles there are out there. Take the highlighted list to a school counselor or your principal and ask what kind of classes you could take to succeed in life by being one of the things you highlighted. Tell your mom unless she is abusive. Ask a teacher to talk to her if that is the case. You are afraid because you do not want her to view you as a bad student who is going no where. If you want her to see you differently, you have to be different, and that takes a plan, not just words and promises. Time and organization is the plan. Organize your desk, backpack, time,questions. workflow.

Well ur mom will eventually find out about the test and she will be even more mad, so why dont u just tell her and if she starts blowing off just say im really sorry i promise i will try harder next time and when the next time comes around show her so she knows that u didnt just say that to not get in trouble...and remember study!

Answer 4

You did bad, and deserve punishment. But if you show your mom how you feel and really do change to do well in school, it would turn out to be "love for everyone".

I do really well in school, A+ all the time. So...my advice is to look at school as a preparation for your future...Ask yourself, who would u want to become in the next 5 or 10 years?

Goodluck

Answer 5

Study harder next time. You got an F because of yourself. If you truly cared about what your mother thinks, you would show her the grade and tell her you are embarrased and will be studying harder in the future.

Answer 6

Wait till she is in a good mood and jokingly describe to her that you faild the test, the whole time with a smile on and she will think It is not a bid deal. then tell yourself that you did you best and it doesent matter what you got as long as you did you very best!!

You need to be honest and tell your mum. Tell her that you will work harder next year and if you are having trouble with schoolwork request a tutor during the holidays so that you can get better grade.That might appease her.
