How does participation help improve grades?
The more you participate in class, the more you learn. This is called ACTIVE learning, and is the best way to really understand the material.
Most people feel that a grade of "A" or "B" - 3.5 to 4.0 if you are using a 4-point scale - is a "good" grade. Truthfully, if you are doing your very best to study and complete your work, then whatever grade you get is a good grade. The only problem with grades is when you don't try, or slack off and quit working your best. If you try your hardest, and your grades are somewhere in the middle ("C" or "D"), then don't beat yourself up because you are not smart - there are many different kinds of "smart" and lots of people are not school-smart, but are smart in some other way! Speaking as a former teacher, I am proud of all of my students who worked hard, even the ones who just barely passed my class.

Questions while you read can help you seek deeper meaning in the text, more than just the main idea and you can learn a lot from it.
How do you stay on task and do your homework?
Completing Your Assignments
The easiest way to stay on task is to avoid distractions.
- Turn off the computer unless you are REALLY doing your homework on it at the moment - studies show that just having the internet in the background distracts you!
- Turn off the radio and television - you may have QUIET classical music in the background, but nothing you're going to want to sing along with!
- Put down the phone.
- By avoiding distractions, you should be done quicker and understand the concepts better. I know that you probably want to talk to your friends on the phone or visit MySpace or whatever. Just do your homework and then you are free to do so. Use that as motivation to stay on task.
Next, have a set time every day for doing schoolwork - pretend it is a job and just get it over with. If you have a certain time every day, then you are more likely to do the work and not find excuses. If you don't have actual homework on one day, then spend the time reading your notes and studying the lessons - that way, your grades will keep going up!
When trying to do the work, use your textbook and your notes to help you. If you can't figure it out, try an online homework help website - see the Related Questions for more places to look!
More Advice from WikiAnswer Contributors
* You put your back into it. If you have a big project due on like...Friday, do 1/2 an hour of it everyday, so your not totally stressed on Friday!
* You can do homework by first looking at the question, and doing what the paper (or teacher) tells you to. if you are stuck write a note telling the teacher why you couldn't do it.
* The best way to do homework is to sit down and focus on what you're doing somewhere you cannot be distracted by a TV or the fridge. You might as well get it over with as soon as possible, and ask for help if you need it.
* There is no "easy way" to do homework. However, if you have a lot, small breaks help. Pay attention in class and homework is easier. But for the most part, you just have to do it.
* It's called "time management." You need time to be in school, you need time for study, you need time for family, you need time for friends, and you need time just to be by yourself. You must learn to balance the scales. Sometimes they get a little tipped in one direction or the other because of exams which may require extra study, or because of family responsibilities etc., but you must learn to adjust them back into appropriate balance again. Try to pick the best time to study during each day where you will not be distracted and try to keep that time set aside for concentrated study. You can do it! *
Well, I'd start with switching off or going somewhere where nothing will distract you. Make sure that you have all the resources you need, and a glass of water or a fruit drink. Then, just empty your mind, and focus on what is in front of you. I sometimes have this problem, so If I were you, I'd promise myself, as an example, a cookie if I thoroughly completed the homework! It works for me!

Here's how to be a BAD student and fail in school:
- Use drugs and/or alcohol. Drug addicts (alcoholics are addicts) are only thinking about how to get more drugs - they don't have any brain power left over to study and do well in school (or a job).
- Stay up late. Kids and teenagers need between 10-12 hours of sleep every night in order to be at their most alert. Poor students stay up late and are sleepy all day in school, so they can't learn much.
- Eat junk food. Your brain needs healthy food like the rest of your body does! Eating a lot of sugar and caffeine ("energy drinks" and other junk) gives you a short burst of energy - but it wears off in a few minutes and then you get a "sugar crash" that makes you feel even more tired and less alert than you were before!
- Skive off. Poor students ignore their work and go do more fun things instead. They never learn how to discipline themselves to get an unpleasant job over with.
- Sit around all day. Exercise helps your body to be healthy and helps your heart pump energy-rich blood to your brain to help you be more alert and focused.
- Procrastinate. Poor students do not plan ahead, but leave things until the last minute before they begin working.
How do you remember things for a test?
Use your notebook outline -- you have been taking good notes like we explained how to do, haven't you? -- if your notes are not complete, use the outline in your book.
Study with a friend, or try to do it alone if you won't try to cheat. Turn each heading into a question and pretend it's on the test. You can also answer the homework questions at the end of each section or chapter.
If the test is more general, you can Google "practice test" and add the subject you want.
