I'm an honors student, but I suck at test taking?
Alright, so I do end up getting an A GPA, but on tests, I tend to blank out and do terrible on. For example, I studied my utter *** off for a few days for this test in an AP SS course. I got a 65. And that's the problem, because before and after the test I completely understand the topics. Is there a way to fix this? If so please tell me. And the problem isn't even the way I study, I make index cards, review my notes, and its not how long I study either, I have plenty of hours done. I don't know what it is but I'm just a bad test taker. Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
@SmartAz The problem isn't eating either. I am a very healthy kid. The only issue with my health is lactose intolerance. I am very active, I play basketball and tennis every week constantly. So, eating and working out isn't the issue here. I don't know what is.
@MDSP I feel you on this one. And I am only a freshman. I am currently taking Honors Earth Science (I've had my troubles earlier this year in this subject), AP World (this is what I just had trouble with) Honors Geometry (I had one test the whole year I did bad on, but for the most part math is easy) and I'm also in honors english, but that course is beyond easy. The rest of the courses don't matter much, I have a computer designing class, gym, study hall, and lunch. If you didn't read above I'm an athlete as well and play basketball and tennis.

You need to learn a few things about eating right. For instance, a big drink of water before the test might be all you need. B vitamins have a lot of effect on mental alertness, and getting your day's supply of fat for breakfast will also help a lot to keep you alert all day and not getting hungry between meals.
