Use mnemonic devices.
It really helps remembering things.
Examples are songs, rhymes, poems, pictures, etc.
And don't memorize... UNDERSTAND the material.
Study things little by little each day... so you don't end up cramming the last minute causing you to feel rushed and not get anything in your head.

I come from the old school and I realize that things have changed a lot. We are in a computer age. But what I see as a problem is that the curriclum now days stands in the way of the kids really learning the things they need to get a job. Too many material things are required, so expensive, some have the money, a lot don't and they feel inferior. Too much peer pressure.
Educating these kids should come over every other activity. There needs to be better rapport between parents and teachers and school boards.

Get assessed for Learning Disorders by your local School District or Community College.
You will have to push for it (it costs them $, they don't spend willingly), but it is no cost to you, and required by law in most states that I know of.
Along with your areas of need, your strengths and naturally developed coping skills will show up.
This is very validating for someone who has always struggled, known that they were smart, and therefore could not understand why they have had to work so hard to get the grades. Also, with these things figured out, you are allowed what are called "accomodations", to level the playing field with your non L.D. peers.
For example, for myself I get to test in an altered environment (quiet, empty room), get 2 1/2 times the normal time for testing, & have a free tutor at school for help with assignments.
You are already recognizing that there are things that are hindering you.Getting tested gives you a name/reason for those causes, as well as a fuller, brighter picture of your overall capabilities by highlighting your strengths (there will be many, some will surprise you, some not :).
This process also helps you to capitalize on your strengths even more.Also remember that not even Einstein was at his best without adequate rest, nutritional support, and exercise!
As both a student and a teacher, this is the best advice I can give to you.
You will be glad you followed through, and will, in the process, also discover your learning styles, a very important tool to anyone.
Hang on and keep fighting for what you need, the payoff is the ability to function and learn/test to the very best of your abilities.
Merry Christmas!

you might have a learning disability. Ask your parents to tell the school to test you and take appropriate action...if you do have a learning disability, they can put you in a special class where you can get extra support to help you where you need it.

Explain it to someone else.
Or pretend to explain it to someone else.
Prop up your favorite stuffed toy, and explain to it whatever you're supposed to learn. Pretend you're the teacher, and you're explaining this to someone who's never even heard of it before. Try to make them learn it.
Trust me, not only is this the best way to learn, it's one of the more fun ways.

repetition.......and doing things a little along...no cramming the night before a test.....everyday go over what was given...gradually adding the new information to the old information (but keep going back over all of it)....make up practice test on the information...run several copies off at a time than practice taking them...keep adding to the your test each time new information is given......
this has helped my son a lot.....

if it was easy to think of something then you already know it. so when ur mind is trying to learn new things it struggles to make sense of the new topic...so it hurts....but it's worth it....if u find that it's not worth learning something new, then you are dumb.
