Help! I am losing my will to learn!!!
I feel so bad. no mater how much I study, i still have flunked test. As I am listening to a teacher, they suddenly sound muffled and speaking garble-gook. The more I try the worse I do. All I do any more is get up, go to work, go to school, come home, study, go to bed.I shouldn't have trouble studying enough, I study non-stop! What is going on? I have a test Monday in German and Wednesday I have An Algebra test. All I have done is study, yet I am still not ready. What am I doing wrong?arghhhhhhhh! :argh:

2. you need to watch more Gilligan's Island

well, it worked for me.
Also, make sure you get plenty of sleep and a good breakfast.
And also, relax. Grades do not matter. I got straight A's and I work as a janitor. Ellen Degeneres did not do nearly as well in school and she is a TV star.
Also, take your time on tests and double check your work.
It sounds like you are doing more than studying, perhaps doing too much. Take a nice relaxing spring break, and remember keiner ist ohne fehler.

6. I had that problem once in High School
.
.
.

I solved it by NOT going to bed right after studying, (you can lose the last half-hour or so of input doing that), and jogging a couple of miles (lazily - I was no sports jock)

Then flopping into bed exhausted PHYSICALLY, rather than mentally, and my retention rate of my studies improved quite noticeably

AND

I felt MUCH better in the AM when I got up.

And,

My Grades made a huge jump :bounce:

So try doing something just physical, be it exercising, calisthenics whatever, something NOT mentally oriented for a half hour to an hour AFTER your studies, and just before bed - (sorry, that includes DU!)

13. I have the same problem.
I've discovered I have to become extra motivated to prevent the professors from sounding like an adult in a Peanuts cartoon. For example, if I start to tune them out, I punch myself in the testicles.

16. I don't think that would work for me
Due to the fact I don't have testicles.
