I am IB student willing to do ANYTHING to get straight A’s in my classes!?
I am currently struggling with World History as the tests are worth most of your grade and I can’t seem to remember everything.
I am also struggling with English because I read at my own pace but I am smart, but I do need extra time to actually grasp concepts in difficult or boring literature books.
It would help if you could tell me what I can do to improve at everything and give some good testing and studying advice.. Thanks!

And those are freshman classes here, so I’m just assuming ^^;;
I remember struggling a lot w/ WH though, and I still pulled 98’s, so don’t stress too much. Summarize as you read, and learn to find the information your teacher might ask on a test. Some teachers care about specific dates, some don’t – make sure to ask your teacher before the test.
As for English, there’s really nothing you can do about boring books. Uhm, try sparknotes? >< A nice thing to try also is flashcards. I know everyone hates them, and I did too, but after you get used to carrying them around, they're a huge help. Especially if you're really low on time like me; you can pull them out while waiting in line, or in the car, or anything like that. In addition, you'd be surprised how much just writing down summarized stuff helps.
Second, each night, study before the test.
BUT, get a single sheet of notebook paper…
Only number it to the bottom(22 or 26) Don’t write any notation down…Say to yourself…”Number 1. The king has to be Crowned by(answer out loud)” then make a tiny stick figure of your answer on the space after the number one….You will do this for all your notes, front and back of the paper…If you don’t remember the whole answer in words while taking the test, you will remember the little stick figure you drew for each answer, (all of them will be different, use different color ink, symbols, just no words) and the stick figure in turn will remind you of the words/answer you were thinking of while drawing it!
