I know what you mean. :-D That's why this year, with 3 honors classes, I would make a study packet for each section I'm doing. So, by finals times, I have packets to study off of. Also, I would recommend to study early. When I study, I would really try my best to apply it.

There is a HUGE difference between just memorizing it and applying it. You can memorize it, but not necessarily understand it. When you apply it (Memorizing and understanding concept) and understand it, you have a bigger chance remembering it later on. With Biology Honors, I really had to learn to study early. Right when my test is finished, I study for the next chapter. Flash cards, study groups, teachers, and tutors are some other sources that can assist you. You can also try getting those Educational software. They've helped me. I know they can be quite boring at times, but it'll really pay off when you get good grades. :-D

Yup. Just finished midterms on Friday and they were such a pain... not to mention I'm pretty sure I failed my algebra honors one.

I like tests...sometimes. I hate it when they ask you something totally out of the blue, or when you've studied hard on everything but that question. But I'm pretty good in Lang. Arts and stuff, so that's usually in the bag LOL

Ug.

I don't have to take them yet but I'm already dreading it.

I am not a good remembering person. I will fail math because I can't remember formulas, motion rules, etc. and I'm stuck in honors :o

Everyone is doing like not even pre-algebra and in the seventh grade we are dping algebra. It's scary. Next year I believe is geometry.
