What are the symptoms of ADD in teens?

Do I have ADD?, here are my symptoms.?

• I think I might have ADD, Do you think I do? my symptoms are: cant stay focused. (i am organized, i try to stay focused and i sit in front of class) loses interest in any subject in 15 minutes gets distracted and loses interest when somebody is trying to teach or tell me something, even if it's something i'm interested in my mind wonders in the first 5 minutes, I try so hard to keep my mind on the subject but it doesnt work tends to forget things easily, it takes me more time to get my work finished compared to other students last year I took german and it was one of my favorite classes because i've always wanted to learn different languages but I forgot most of the things i've learned in german class i get poor grades i have to have at least 3 people explain things to me, even at that it still takes me a while to get it im slow when it comes to learning something new when i read a book, even if it's a book im interested, I lose interest and my mind wonders after reading about 5-6 pages it's hard to study if I dont have somebody next to me helping me i had some hyperactivity always have had average or poor grades i played soccer and other sports and always was good at sports and somewhat understanding it more, well i grew up with sports though i wanted to try cheerleading but I could never memorize the cheers or moves, i would forget. same with acting, i loved acting and wanted to do it but i was hard on me to focus on memorizing my lines, i could never memorize more than 6 lines. Do you think this is ADD, should I get tested for it? Thanks.
