Author Topic: Failing hard at school; Need help.  (Read 1347 times)

I study my ass off every day, I practice and practice, memorize everything I must know but I'm still failing and in a pretty bad way. I pass with a 6 and the highest mark I've obtained up to now was a 4.10. Anyone have any tips? I still have one more test per subject to save my semester anyway I can. What pisses me off is that cigaretteolas that smoke weed every day and are always wasted get much higher marks. I need help, BLF. D: I must not fail this term nor the following two terms.

Don't memorize it, learn it. Try to get into the material. Also, relax, get organized. Stress won't help.

try to find different ways of studying, everybody learns things in different ways, for example some people learn better with examples than just an explanation, so maybe include several examples when you're studying if you're like that.
and also what derontchi said: do not panic. clouding your head with panicky thoughts makes it harder to think straight.

Where are the dog jokes

Can we just move on from that stuff for once?

Anyway, on topic, the way I learn/memorize stuff is try to make it into a little beat and stuff, and just sing it in my head.

no seriously, it actually is the problem, i'm not trying to joke. if you do, that is.


Like Col. Derontchi said, don't just memorize it. Look for meaning. Make connections.

Try to study in an environment which is similar to the environment where you'll be tested. Or, when being tested, think about the room where you studied the material. You make associations with the place you learned.

Are you getting sleep and drinking water? If you're lacking either of those, it could have a huge impact on how effectively you study.

I get the sense that people who smoke weed every day are fairly relaxed. I know that this is much easier said than done, but try to relieve some of the anxiety. If you're constantly worrying about failing, you're not thinking about the material.

Yours? Don't you mean your dog's?
For real though, what Derontchi said.

I smoke weed daily, and I graduated with straight As. The instructor is teaching you so you can learn, not so you can memorize and forget. If you take the time to process what you are being taught, you will pass.

Weed is illegal here and I do not have the intent of doing so. I bearly get any sleep, I am not going to waste money on a tutor until I tried every available option. The thing is, everything I do in class is perfect. My organic chemistry teacher walked up to me a few minutes ago about that. My tests are cancerous but my work in class is very good. =\

Stop struggling with pets and study more.

if u rly jerk off so much that it's getting in the way of school then yes it's time to calm it down
but if you're not doing it ten times a day, it's absurd to think that it's gonna cause any problems
Like Col. Derontchi said, don't just memorize it. Look for meaning. Make connections.
that will only help for like half of the subjects
science, yes, it'll help pretty much always. but with math, only sometimes
and history, probably never
I bearly get any sleep
hmmm. i wonder if that could have anything to do with it
