The trick is…understand stuff, i’m not telling you to not rote learn, you rote, but only the things that you think are important.

Like once, We had 4 chapters coming in a test. All my friend were working day and night to somehow do all 4 perfectly, but they managed to do only 2. I did some parts of all the chapters which I thought were important, and it worked!!! I scored pretty well.

Do you rote learn everything? If you do, then stop.

Try asking them if they rote everything or not (im pretty sure they dont cause you said they finish the topics pretty quick…

They cheat off each other.

They have more of a background in the subject that you have.

They have better study habits than you do.

You have worse study habits than they have.

They are smarter than you.

The test its self is a poor test.

You should probably getting better than a 76 with all the studying you o. You may have a problems in test taking techniques or study habits.

You can post a question for those if you believe that is the problem.

I was amazed how many kids were unprepared for questions that to me were obviously going to get asked.

test is for the little part of the knowledge

exam. is for the whole part of the knowledge

it will show how you are work hard in the exam.

dont be worried~~
