I'm always too lazy to do my homework and I can never remember anything for tests. I need to do my best in school this year, and I mean going from Ds and Cs to As. No Bs. What are some good tips I can use starting now to the end of the year? How should I start my school day? How can I concentrate on doing my homework? How can I use study halls to the best of my advantage? How to deal with douchebag teachers? How to get good grades on social studies tests? I always fail my social studies tests, since you have to remember the most. Apparently, this teacher's tests are harder, so I'm worried I'll fail, since no matter how much I study, I still fail. I need to change that. How can I improve my memory? Any tips to do my best to focus in school, even tips to do before bed? I think I have A.D.D., so I have trouble focusing. How can I try to focus in school and retain information. Thank you so much, I hope you can answer as much questions as possible!

You should try sitting in a seat where you're far from any distractions and take good notes. And start your homework as soon as you get home, but make sure you're somewhere quiet. When I study for tests I like to make study guides and re-copy my notes. Flashcards for subjects like social studies and science are pretty effective. Also, make sure to ask your teacher what subjects you'll be tested on. All this might seem like a hassle at first, but you'll soon get into the habit of doing all these things. I'm a huge procrastinator at times and I know how hard it can be to break your lazy streak :)

Thank you! I'm a fast typer, I'll just ask to take notes on the computer (we all get laptops, I hate it when teachers don't let us take notes on the computer!) I'll try that c:
