Failing Classes but Loving Cheer?

The beginning of the year is always so easy. Those first two weeks where you're just reviewing and getting comfortable with the class but once you hit the end of September you get a big reality check with you begin to take quizzes, tests, and large packets that need to be turned in. Here's a few tips on how to get those grades back up!

#1 Extra Credit

Der da der der. This is what everyone falls back on and it really helps if your teacher is open to it. Make sure to get all the info and do as much as you can. It won't boost your D- to a C but it's a start and can make even the smallest difference that could help.

#2 Study Groups

You're already on a team so you already have a solid group of people! Odds are you're not the only one doing bad in a certain subject. You and your fellow teammates can get together in a classroom during lunch, before practice, or after and do homework so when those late night games hit and those weekends happen you're not dumbfounded when you receive a bad grade.

#3 Do the Work & Ask Questions!

It's a no brainer and it's what everyone seems to overlook. Most people begin to fail because they fail to do the work. Everything adds up eventually. If you do all of your homework and get some extra practice in the doing the material it will reflect on your test scores. It's why they assign it! You should also ask questions when you don't understand something but remember instead of thinking you sound stupid when asking just think you're not the only one wondering the same thing.
