Make flash cards, put the terms on the front and the definitions or information about them on the back. Flip through them until you have them memorized. Good Luck!

Sure, you can study hard and possibly get on the A honor roll, but what habits will you take with you in your education career after you get your Xbox? The point of grades, and school in general, is to learn. You need to realize that you're not just working for an Xbox, you're working for your future. Learning gives you intelligence, and only intelligent people are successful in life. I could give you all the study tips in the world, but it would be in vain if your grades dropped again after you reached your short term goals. An Xbox won't help you get you into college, and it won't get you a job. Do this for your future self, not just the Xbox.

You need to settle down and pay attention in your classes, do all of your homework on time, and then things will all come together for you. Right now you need much help in English so you can learn to write a correct sentence. What you wrote here is rambling and contains no correct sentences. Work hard and have a good attitude. That will be the beginning of a good school experience for you. Good luck!!

Make up outlandish phrases to remember things, you will find that the more rediculous the phrase the easier you will remember it. For example if I wanted to remember that Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president from 1861 to 1865, which I just looked up, I would make up a phrase like: my friend Abe is 16, has a lincoln that goes 61 to 65 on route 18. and remember this one thing about memory, once you teach yourself something it is very hard to forget. Try to forget your best friends phone number. you can't, because you taught yourself well.

Use the techniques of mnemonics.
How I memorize large amounts of information is like this -
1. Read it.
2. Type it.
3. Say it.
4. Make a picture of it in your head.
5. Use flash cards.

Sure I'll try to help you. These are really simple tips that can help you stay focused.
1) To study for tests, review main ideas and key points from your textbook.
2) Review notes and take notes in class on what the teacher says.
3) If you don't understand a subject, try doing extra credit to further help you learn what you don't understand.

Judging from your terrible writing, I'd say you should forget about the xbox and practice saying "Would you like fries with that?"
