That's really too bad. Perhaps you are studying history as names and dates. I didn't enjoy history until college. It was there that I learned history is not names and dates, it's people and states and their interactions. People, have not really changed, in the most basic sense. I know, for me, when I stopped looking at history as bland dates and started seeing the people and the astounding complexity of history, I was hooked.
If you have an understanding of history, you'll start any problem with an advantage, because you'll have a deeper understanding of context. You will also learn that nothing happens in a vacuum, that everything can be linked to a cause.

Its a typical problem assosciated with modern teaching methods. They expect students to memorize all these names, dates and places & they forget the point. Its the actions and events that caused them that are important. Then you can learn from the mistakes and accomplishments of the past.
There should be more of a hands on approach. I've done some demonstrations at my daughters schools. I'm a mideval reinactor and blacksmith and enjoyed going to the schools with full sets of armor and weapons ( unedged of course ) to let the kids actually see what it was like to actually handle and wear this stuff. To this day my girls are asked by the other students when I'd do another show. The kids learned what it was like on a mideval battlefield or tournament ground and the tactics and skills used, Isn't that more important than the names of the guys that won?

What you need to do is train your brain to get excited about history, even though right now you find it boring.
First, you must realize that every story you've ever heard, read, or seen on television or at the movies is somehow related to history. I don't know how old you are, but cartoons are full of history references.
All that "history" means is "stuff that happened before now". Unfortunately it's usually presented as "boring stuff that happened before now."
But take your favorite book, movie, or television show and if you think about it, it is related to history. So think of a movie that excites you. When I was growing up, I liked Star Wars. There were a lot of people running around shooting at each other; that happened a LOT in history. There was also this evil emperor who took over everybody else. That has also happened a lot in history.
When you begin to realize that every thing you like doing is somehow related to history, you'll find that history is more interesting than events and people that you can't really relate to.

You might need a more hands on approach to learning history. I suggest you might try visiting museums in your area that might cover what you are trying to study. Perhaps rent or buy videos produced by the history channel on the topics you are studying. The best idea though is probably to discuss this problem with your teacher(s). They are the ones who would know you best and might be able to work up a different study program for you.

Skim through the chapter and
Look for the key words and dates most likely in bold lettering,
write them down on a seprate sheet of paper also write the sub chapters down and a brief summery of the discusstion point.
It sounds like more work but it's actually faster.look over paper before a test and any reviews.do not try to memorize it. simply read through the night before and the next day,and the next,ect...
also paying attention in class and keep notes on the teachers topic discussions.hope this helps.

Read up on the subject. Maybe you can read historical stories to liven up the subject.
