It’s the end of the academic year and you’ve noticed that your performance in class hasn’t been that good. Your grades have fallen and you need to pull up your socks to make sure you do well this year. Here is a list of things you need to pay attention to:
Background
What are the subjects your scores are low in? Is it the languages or science? While the sciences always require a lot more understanding and constant practice from the syllabus itself ; the languages would require you to do a lot of reading and writing outside of what is being taught to you in class.
Why are your grades falling?
Are you not studying enough, or finding it hard to comprehend and grasp concepts? Many a times, most students end up having a block towards one subject that they don’t fare too well in. At times like this, you just need to work on getting rid of that block. Once that's done, you'll find that you probably like the paper/subject.
Shortcomings
What are the others doing that you aren't? Take a look around and talk to your classmates. Are they doing extra reading or extra practice? Are they going for tuition lessons that you aren’t aware of? Or are there some lessons that you've missed out on in the previous classes that are making learning a tad bit difficult for you to comprehend what's being taught now?
Ask for help
If you're having trouble grasping, don't be ashamed to ask for help. If you're in a class filled with people, you're probably not the only one who has a doubt or a difficulty. So stand up and ask for clarifications; the teacher is there to assist you.
Be perseverant
The only way that you can make your way back to the top is by ensuring that you practice and persevere over time. It’s not good enough to redo your sums for a week, or read that extra lesson for just a month. Remember practice makes perfect so do it over and over again till you get it right. .
