I want to be a good student but I don't know if I am doing my best to get good grades. I need to study at least ten chapters to get ready for an exam. My sister said just read my notes from those chapters over and over again. And copy my notes over and over again. But I prefer to read the actual textbook. And to be honest, I don't really know how to write my own notes. I just copy off the board the notes the teacher writes. I am not getting bad grades in school but I think I could get better grades.

If u read only the text you won't get a good grade and ur confidence will fall.
info shared by the teachers edition is not the same as what is in the students text...(yes u r missing info.)so...listen to the lesson 4 clues.
write the notes written by teacher on the board
reference what the teacher hints at
get it?...this is how 2 get the grade not ur text...public schools ain't so great...good luck

The best way I found of studying was to write the thing I had to study out, For some reason it stuck in my memory a lot better than when I just read it over and over. Good luck on your exam =D

Tips you may try
1. For practical papers like mathematics considering syllabus to be covered (chapters), for each chapter work out more problems given in the text books & verfy your answers for corrections.If you find few chapters (in maths) not fully understood contact the teacher concerned /tutor & re-learn to work out problems.
2. In subjects like science read the chapters & try to understand the principles /laws/system/process & write down without referring subject books.
3. Avoide someones notes & confine the study to text book & make your own notes .To develop notes study the chapters & take the gist of it write in your note book.when you refer more books on the same subject collect new points in each book for the chapter for which you are preparing notes.
4 For history/ language papers read & understand the incidents/events /situation explained in the text book & write down without referring text book to verify your understanding.
You may teach someone not knowing the subject/ a friend knowing the subject to correct you. If you teach a novice verify whether you have explained the chapter of any subject properly, in the text book.
Good wishes

rewriting your notes from class lectures will help you remember what was said in class. Also, since repetition is key to memory, re-read the chapters in your book a little each night, best when done right before you plan on going to bed, because this puts what you read into your long-term memory when you sleep on it! This always worked for me when I was in school.
