over the Xmas break there is a book I think you should read called “Make it Stick”. This book explains what is known about learning, and also has tips for HS and college students. If the terms “distributed practice” and “self testing” don’t mean anything to you, they ought to – they are 2 of the most effective techniques for studying.

It’s great that you’ve shown improvement in your grades, but hope alone is not going to improve your grades further. You need to (1) understand what the effective practices are (2) take the time to do them.
