HELP!!! I CANT DO WELL ON TESTS???!!!?

Ok, so I've always been a TERRIBLE test-taker. I understand the concept and do well on the homework, but my head is all jumbled up when it comes to the actual testing. I recently entered high school and tests count for a lot more of your grade than any other assignments. I usually end up with a B or A- for the quarter. but with finals arriving soon, my grades will most likely drop. I ALWAYS go in early to ask the teacher for help, and do my best to study, but I just CANNOT get higher than a B on any kind of test! I've tried a tutor, and that didn't really help, but I just really need advice on how to study for tests and improve grades... THnx in advance

    Relax, your stressing way too much! This is why. You see homework as no biggie, and you have a day to finish. In a test you have like 30 to 60 minutes to finish. All you have to do is study, when you got everything down ask your mom or dad to test you on it. Then if you feel like you know everything, go into class, and take the test. Take some deep breaths before, and pretend that its just a worksheet. Its not like you fail on life if you miss one test. It is said that if you get two or more bad grades on a test your likely to stress out and do worse on other tests. Just don't stress, and if you get a bad grade, suck it up and do better on the next one. So two things to remember- DON'T STRESS and STUDY!!!

    Hope this helped.

    This is my grade 12 year and this helped WONDERS. Study during your relaxing hours and then take a walk to refresh your brain. If you overload your brain, it causes you to, more or less, fry. And causes more stress. Study, take a walk, then go to bed and review in the morning. Good luck!
