Getting a lower rating than expected was disappointing. However, don't let it get you down. If these bad grades are handled in the right way, you will learn from these mistakes and become a better student, as well as a person.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Merciful
Step 1. Don't be too hard on yourself
Bad grades are not the end of everything. Don't think one bad grade will ruin your image as a student. The fact that you are bothered by those grades shows that you are motivated and have high expectations of yourself.
However, remember that "C" grades are usually still considered average, "B" above average, and "A" special. With that perspective, you probably won't think your grades are so bad
Step 2. Take time to work out your reaction
Maybe you feel anxious, frustrated, or even confused. You may feel disappointed. Don't hide your feelings. Suppressing existing feelings will only make you worse off.
Step 3. Take the distance with the value problem for a while
If you continue to dwell on this value issue while your emotions have not subsided, things will only seem to get worse. Find activities to distract yourself.
Exercising, chatting with friends, listening to music, or engaging in fun activities are all healthy ways to let go of anxiety
Part 2 of 3: Locating the Error
Step 1. Find your fault pattern
Finding fault patterns is a great way to map and solve problems. You can also do it yourself, you know.
- Are there subjects or subjects that you are not good at, such as mathematics or English? If so, study the area more often.
- Is there a problem you can't do? If so, try to categorize the questions and find out which subjects you should study more about.
- Are you often late for school? If so, try to be more punctual.
Step 2. Ask the teacher for more detailed feedback
The teacher knows your weaknesses and strengths. So, don't be afraid to ask them for help.
Instead of asking "why do I get a bad grade?", ask "how do I structure my answers to make my grades better?"
Step 3. Ask classmates for advice
Ask your classmate's grades. If they all get bad grades, maybe the problem is with the material, not you. However, if their score is higher, ask for advice or tips on getting a better score.
Sometimes teachers raise the standard of grades in a class where most of the students really like to study hard. If a lot of students fail, maybe getting low grades in that class isn't really that bad. By understanding that condition, you should be able to calm down now
Part 3 of 3: Making Effective Plans
Step 1. Stick to your goal of getting good grades
Once you know the things that need to be fixed, you can start taking steps to solve them. Make the necessary positive changes in life:
- Arrange a study schedule and stick to it regularly. A regular study schedule can significantly reduce anxiety and improve your performance in school.
- Get enough sleep. The amount of time you sleep affects your mood as well as your ability to absorb and retain information.
- Don't procrastinate.
- Get rid of the bully. Prioritize the most important things first.
Step 2. Look for opportunities to get extra points to make up for bad grades
Often teachers just want to see how serious you are in learning. Ask about the possibility of improving grades by doing additional assignments. If you really can't change grades, these assignments can be used as additions.
Step 3. Look for resources that can help you
Tutoring agencies, school teachers, and study groups are here to help you succeed in your studies. Think about the possibility of changing your study habits in the future by incorporating these resources into your routine.
Step 4. Songsong of the next day
Yes, you may not be able to change the values, but you can still take the necessary steps to make things better. Think of this event as a learning experience. One bad score doesn't define your entire future. Likewise, your image as a student is not necessarily tarnished by it.
