<p>Hi, i am currently in 9th grade and i was just wondering how i could bring my grades up.</p>
<p>I am a solid high B student.</p>
<p>I think that I am fairly intelligent but I can't seem to reach the "Straight A's" mark.</p>
<p>I don't know what it is, I pay attention in class fairly well but I just can't get all A's.</p>
<p>Are there any study habits or any other ways that i could bring up my grade?</p>
<p>Any comments or recommendations are appreciated!!!</p>
<p>Take really solid, organized notes in class and on readings. Stay organized so that studying is easy. Keep file cabinets for your old papers to study from so it doesn't get lost throughout the semester</p>
<p>Do all of your homework. Usually getting an A is pretty easy as long as you do your homework.</p>
<p>Of course there are always a few classes where tests are a big part, so you actually have to be smart for those.</p>
<p>I second the hw suggestion</p>
<p>Read Cal Newport. While he focuses on college, most of his ideas work for high school, too. If you have problems with procrastination, read The Now Habit.</p>

<p>This past semester (im a senior) I got straight As for the first time since seventh grade. I also agree with the homework suggestion- make sure you do everything assigned & do it on time. Teachers are more likely to bump you up when you're borderline if you've turned everything in on time, and a lot of (if not all of) homework usually ends up being for a completion grade. To be honest, I don't take a lot of notes..I don't go out of my way to take notes, but I study what the teacher provides and if a teacher says "this will be on the test!" make sure you write it down.</p>
<p>I wish my school relied more on HW, if you don't ace the tests its hard to get an A.</p>
