Do good in your finals - study like crazy before them and try to get 100s.
Also, develop those study habits. Being just smart wont carry you all the way through high school or college, you have to work for it. It may be hard but its essential and once you get back to that level, everything will fall to place...

only u can determine the best study habits for you. you might need to make big colorul outlines or flow charts (or even draw pictures) or you might do better recording notes then listening to the recording while you're cleaning or exercises. talk to your teacher but dont look for the quick fix. ask for a study guide at the beginning of a chapter so you can cover a little each nite (before bed so you dream about it, really!) look into school or community tutoring sessions. good luck

A good study habit that I found is that notes do really help. My teacher has us write them down. But you can't just not study think about college and how people got their jobs. You should study and write down notes about what the teacher is talking about and write the important and then your notes and then compare how they are alike and different and study. Oh and set a time period for studying during the day.

i used to be just like that, never had to study. But now in my junior year of high school, i'm takin college courses, and for me the best thing to do is just write stuff down. I can remember things by relation so if i write down facts that go together for instance the Zambezi River is the source of Victoria Falls- tht was on my geography finals today.
So i would say, just write stuff down and take notes in class if u have 2

First thing you must do is consult with your school counselor to see if he can set you straight.If you are failing, you are not studying.; you are not reading and rereading until you understand what you have read. That is the first thing to do. Then set aside all the time available to do each subject with the same effort. You and you alone must learn to apply yourself. No one will be leading you by the hand through life. Ask questions then more questions until you understand.

Enjoy some music that you like as background noise for studying. Also, be prepared...have snacks with you. Plan on studying 10 minutes per age you are. So, if you are 15...study for 150 minutes. Also, take breaks halfway through!
Where are your parents?

I'm going through the same thing only I'm failing 1 more class than you, what I'm doing is that I'm doing extra credit work, making up work I missed, and getting responsible, do the same too.

Work hard. Take notes. Re-write your notes when you get home. Read your assignments. Meet with your teachers during their break or your study hall.
