School problem....
Hi guys, I am a straight A student, in high honors, and in NJHS(National Junior Honors Society), but I have been getting terrible  grades lately.  Every test and project that I double check and I am confident in, I fail. It is not the teacher’s fault either. I talk to them about my grade and look back at mistakes and it doesn’t help. My overall grades are at a C or lower, and I have no idea why, or how to improve. I really need your input/advice. @Admins, you can help too if you can.
Thanks, I really appreciate it.

I just answered and posted this, but I can't find the posted comment. Hopefully it will turn up.

back to the Down to Earth

Is it math? If it is, it might be that you have just missed a fundamental part(s) of some kind of math. I've done that too. 

If it's overall, then it might be même things else. Do you have something stressful in your life? Anything at all. Or something distracting. Like a extremely annoying friend or a new crush or something like that.  That may be it. Just try to give yourself some space from the rest of the world. You time.

And try to not cram before a test. I learn better when I learn all I need to in one chunk before the stress of a incoming test, and then reviewing what you need to before the test.

If your homework is piling up, try and wipe it out in one swipe and then start over. Good time management could help. Just do small chunks at a time,as long as you get done what you need to and don't stress about.

If this doesn't help, I think you should talk to a teacher specifically about this.
