biology help!?

i am studying 9th grade biology. I study for hours for all the test and quizzes but i always do not do well. I am usually an A student. What am i doing wrong? I take notes in class and study for long periods of time,do all the homework, read from the book…etc.

How can i get a better grade? Any study tips? Any helpful websites?

Thanks for helping!

Maybe Biology just isn’t your thing. Ask if there is an alternative science class you can take. If there isn’t, or you don’t want to switch out of the class, try a tutor, that way you’re getting one on one attention and all your problems can be considered and fixed.

The best thing to do when struggling in a class is to start with your teacher. Ask him or her for some help. Because he/she teaches the class, he/she is obviously knowledgeable about the subject area and therefore is a great resource. Your instructor will most likely be able to help you out a lot.

As far as studying goes, it isn’t the amount of time spent studying but the quality of that studying. If you feel like you’ve been studying for hours but aren’t really getting anywhere, stop and take a break. Other great study tips are: minimize distractions while studying such as turning OFF the TV or not talking on the phone or surfing the internet during study time, don’t cram at the last minute but study a little each day, the night before class look over your notes from your last class (this helps reinforce what you’ve learned in class and better prepares you for the following day’s class), and ask your teacher for help or find a tutor.

Biology can be a tough subject for a lot of people, even those who are used to making straight As. Don’t get discouraged, just keep working hard and if you find the way you are studying isn’t working, try something else.

Good luck.
