Answer 1

if you cant do anything to get your credits back maybe try a alternative school.matter of fact iam in the same situation right now and i cant get my credits back,so my mom is sending to a alternative school so i can get my credits back for this term and after that i can continue at a regular school

Answer 2

Well there is no stopping this, but you'll need to drop something. Like tv or computer time and maybe stop softball, band, student council or something else...

Answer 3

So, cut out a few things so you can concentrate on your schoolwork.

Answer 4

You may have to cut back on your activities.  I know what it is like to manage a lot, I have 3 kids (3, 5, 7), work and go to college.  I am keeping an a avg this semester though.  My study tips are to review my notes within a few hours of class and rewritte my notes each day.  I use a spiral notebook in class and rewite them into my loose leafe binder daily.  3 days before a quiz/test, i read through all the material in my notes for that test/quiz.

After school take some time to reveiw, eat dinner and see your friends or whatever and take about 10 minutes before bed and review your notes again.  Make sure you highlight importnt info in your notes that you know will be on a test.  Make up a list of questions with your notes one day and the next go back and answer them without your notes and then check your notes to see if you are right.

School is important so you may need to limit your hang out time more especially a few days before a test/quiz.

Answer 5

I would quit something.  That is to much for one person to handle.  Once you open up you schedule you will have more time to study and chill or spend time w/ friends.  Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I really think you need to quit something.  Pick the one or two things that mean the less to you.  Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

Your going to have to drop one or more of those things you listed. If I were you I would keep the student council and work. I would drop the softball, band, play and ccd until the summer. As for time management do your difficult subjects first and dont leave them for late at night (otherwise you will get burnt out). I would say review your notes every day, study for tests at least 2 weeks in advance. If you have an assignment do it right away and don't put it off. Also if your still struggling maybe try gettign a tutor. Good luck
