How to keep my grades up?

How do I keep my grades up?

  • Ok so, my grades have been really bad pretty much this whole year, I study but end up spacing off. Than I was told if I keep my grades up to A's and B's for a WHOLE year which means the rest of this year and half of next year, I can get a Border Collie puppy from a breeder, i've been wanting this puppy my whole entire life. I have a Border Collie already but I do Dog agility (search it up if your curious of what it is) and he doesn't have a lot of energy and would prefer to go on long hikes than Agility. If i get a puppy from the breeder I want she will love agility because all the BC's from this breeder are obsessed with it as much as I am. Sorry this is all confusing, LOL. I just need help, how do I keep myself from spacing off? I want this puppy so bad, but yet I still space off. Please help.

  • Answer:

    this happens to me all of the time. i always try to study and i space off. i still manage to get A's and B's though. when you are studying, try to find a quiet place to sit and turn off all of your electronics (cell phone, ipod, tv, computer, video games, etc) this will help you concentrate better. if you are tempted to turn on your anything, give them to your parents or siblings while you are studying, if not, just keep them out of site as best as you can. when your teacher gives you the test date, study a little bit every night. it helps a lot. the night before the exam, give the study guide to a friend/parent/or sibling and quiz yourself to see how much you remember. if you do bad, study some more. (try to do your practicing right after school so you have time to study later if you need it) also, if you don't already, just pay attention in school. that may help bring your grades up by participating and doing all of your homework. if you pay attention, your homework may not be so bad. i hope this helps. good luck!! i hope you get the puppy! (ive been wanting a puppy too ha ha) best of luck! (:

Ask anyone such as your teacher questions.... They will always help you when they know you need it

Find some music you can study too, not rap, but try something a little calmer (i like Massive Attack), shut your cell phone off, get away from a tv or distracting people, and get somewhere you're comfortable. I like to take breaks, study for 45 minutes, take a break and stretch for like 15, get back to studying, take a break, and so on. Also, if you procrastinate doing work you become overwhelmed and you just end up cramming instead of learning. I use to designate 30 minutrs per class everyday BUT if you have one class (like P.E.) that you dont need to study for, deducted its half an hour. Also, if theres a class you're exceptionally good at and dont need as much time for bring it down to 20 minutes and add the extra 10 to another class. For example, in hs I was REALLY good at bio (i can still remember everything from the digestive system) so I wouldnt spend as much time on it as I would Math, which im AWFUL at. If you still have issues try being interactive instead of just rereading notes; rewrite the notes, high light, tab, write in different colors for certain things. It sounds like you just havent found a system that works for you and need to play around to find what works.
