Man I don't know what I've been doing in school lately. I have turned in all my homework all year so far, but when it comes to test I get like D's and F's. It really freaking sucks.

Chemistry I have like a 68.
Spanish I have a 69.3.
And World History I have like a 67.

Grades go out this Friday .

All high D's. I'm not dumb or anything...., but when It comes to test I seem to forget everything and do bad. I haven't missed any HW so far this year.

What should I start doing that will help? Besides just to "Study". I try to study, but I forget everything when the test is on my desk. I really want to go to college and all, but my GPA is only at 2.6. I'm really nervious about all this stuff... .

man, i hate to be a dickhead, but it's high school. it really isn't that difficult. if you say your studying, which for some reason i doubt, there wouldnt be a problem. and if you really are studying and doing your homework, then you might have a mental issue.just pay attention in class, and give an extra 20 minutes a night to each one of those subjects...i used to do poor in HS, i even failed math freshman yaer, but now i am on honor roll all the time, just because i put more time into it.

I got 2 a's, 1 b and 2 c's, which kinda sucks for me, but I do all the work, and understand everything, once test time comes I suck big time, in english I had like tons of 100's then on 2 tests I failed and that brought me down to an 84. I study for hours and not in front of the t.v. and I still do terrible on tests, and I pay attention during class, and look over my notes everyday, I just suck at life I guess

[KornKamp02]

Sorry, I can't help you BUT I can tell yo uwhat a friend does... She makes a cheer out of it, lol I know it's stupid but make a song with all the facts for the test.

[gam-e]

i think paying attention in class is far better than taking notes, but its different for different people i guess.

anyway you are lucky, 69 is failing at my school, and something isn't an A unless its a 95.

i recommend accualy tutoring someone as you go along my brother wasnt exactly a stellar high schooler himself but his grades were alot better when he was teaching his girlfriend stuff and helping her study(no not that knda studying ew)

[Lopy-slopy]

how the *heck* can they say that 70 is failing!!! everywhere I know in canada below 50 is failing at my school 69 is a C+. but the average is suposed to be 75 and some evil teachers use that freaking curve to make sure it is. I'm guessing the average at your school is supposed to be in the 80's then.

[gam-e]

75 is the general avg and we have our brilliant students who bring it down into the 80's probably.

i dont know im ranked 44th in a class of 111 and my gpa is (i dont know i think its a 3.6 or 3.7) and i have a 92.968 or something like that avg.

i wish i would have tried earlier on. oh well its too late now, might as well enjoy the slacking

If you're really good with a pen and a magifying glass, you can change those D's into B's. If you have a really good copymachine, you can practice. What kind of paper do they use in those progress reports?

P.S Can you intercept the mail before your parents get to it?

[PyRo]

That may work to get your parents off your back, but when it comes time for him to apply for college he won't be able to pull that. It sounds more like he is asking for actual help rather than ways to make it look like he is doing well. I did horrible my first two years of high school, I really wish I tried harder those first two years.
Good luck, hope you do well.

Dude. It's high school. Who cares. I didn't do a thing in high school. I had half decent grades, and I had a great time. I'm in a half decent school now (RPI), and it sucks. I wish I was back in high school. The grading here is usually scaled, depending on the class. I've been in classes where I got a 45 on a test, and that was an A.

If I were you, I'd talk one on one with each of your teachers and tell them what's up. They'll see that you care about school. They'll appreciate that because it's not to common in high school. Maybe talk to your guidance councelor as well. It's important to have at least one person your friendly with, so you can have them write college recomendations for you.

[PyRo]

Trust me, do good in high school, it counts trying to get into college. It does matter!

[painball]

I hate grades. But I have motivation to do well. I live in middle of nowhere Kansas and hate nearly everyone in my school.

Thus good grades = good education which = gettin the hell outta Kansas.
