I listen, I do the classwork and the homework and I put my best effort into exams, but I always come out with under a third of the marks. I can't understand why, as I'm in the top set and I work at A/A* in all my classwork, yet in exams I get F's and U's. If anyone feels the same or can give me any advice as to why this is, or how to improve, it's much appreciated.. Created by t.c.jennings.13. education-reference-en - primary-secondary-education-en

I would guess that you are not answering the questions on the paper properly. Some people read the questions and then write answers that are not relevant to the question. To pass exams you have to answer the question asked and then include information about the subject that the question is on. Classwork and homework can be done without you learning the information properly just by copying but you can't pass exams like this you have go to know and remember something about the subject.
