A couple years ago, I was asked by a teacher to write a paragraph or two describing how to get through high school.. so why not answer the question again here?
First off, take notes if it helps you. I try to take notes in subjects I know I'm not great at because it really does help when it's time to study for a test. Also, write due dates down somewhere so you don't forget and then scramble at last minute to get it done. Don't procrastinate either! Trying to get all your work done last minute just causes unnecessary stress. I can't 100.tell you how many times I've done that because of procrastination. I used to be the worse at it and I somehow managed to get better at getting my work done on time. Of course I mess up sometimes and I do end up pulling all-nighters trying to put everything together, but I think I'm doing okay. My next point is that whenever you get to pick what topic or something is on, pick the most interesting thing to do it over so you actually enjoy it. Doing that can make it easier as well, if you already know a lot about the subject. If you pick something you're not totally familiar with or if you're just picking it over something random, it can make it harder because you don't have a knowledge about it, and if you don't completely know that you'll enjoy it, it'll make you dread working on the assignment and that can lead to you putting it off to the last minute. Another thing that can definitely make school easier is to make sure you read all the instructions that your teacher gives you very carefully. It's never a pleasant experience when you get to class and you realize you did the assignment wrong. Which is also why if you don't understand the assignment 100%, ask the teacher! The teacher is there to help you. When I realize I messed up, my stomach always instantly drops. Oh! Before I finish, for all those who aren't good at math, color code the steps of the problems in your notes! For each step there is in a problem, use a different color because that can help you memorize the different steps!
