I've never been a person to get bad grades, but lately I've been getting them in the American History course. Who knew American History was so complicated? Yesterday I got a 14% on a test. It's going bad. I honestly study by reading the material over and over and over, but theres something about the style of the teacher's tests, or just the teacher herself, that makes me unable to answer the questions, even though I could perfectly explain them verbally. Also, when she is giving class, I can't seem to concentrate on what she's saying. It's so boring; I literally can't not look away or play with the pencil or bite my nails or anything. The teacher won't do anything to help, she said I should "study harder" but my studying method is obviously not working so, do you have any studying methods that work for you? Maybe they might work for me too.
