Are you studying by practicing the material? For classes like Chemistry, I have to get practice sheets and do the problems over and over. Maybe you could even ask the teacher if she has any more worksheets she could give you, so that you can practice at home
If the test is multiple choice, I quickly do the ones I know and guess on the ones I don't immediately know (I put a mark by the ones I am unsure of and don't spend much time on them). When I have time, I go back and check the marked questions
im pretty upset about my exam today. i have to study more than the average student. I studied this whole week at least 6 hours a day for my 3rd Chem. test today and i still got a 78%!! ***! (so disappointed in myself i get really down like now..). My problem is i didn't have time to finish the exam (this happens often), i was in the middle of doing a problem i knew how to do and the teacher took it from me saying the max time limit is 50 mins. I also knew how to do one of the bonus questions for 10 points! but she refused to let me do it. I went to her office after the exam and told her I have ADD and that I have seen recently seen a doctor who prescribed adderall for me. And if this would allow her to give me extra time to finish the problems. (fairly large test in 50 mins). She said my university doesn't allow any extra time? And that I need to put in more effort. I know for a fact if she gave me even 10-20 more minutes on the exam that i would have gotten at least an 88%. Its so frustrating when you know the material but don't succeed.....
