For me, it was more general of how I finally learned to study. I struggled with attention and just general testing issues any time I transitioned school levels, 7th and 9th grades specifically, having a sub 3.0 GPA. 10th grade didn't start off very well either.
My first exam in Art History of the 2nd semester, I received another C. However in the review of the exam, it finally clicked. I drew a mental connection between the questions we were going over and how the previous lectures went. Then, I abstracted it out to all classes, all teachers. I saw how it's pretty obvious what's going to be on the tests by what the teachers focus on in class, and how the focus on certain things. I just needed to focus on that stuff. Everything else is fluff, and was a waste of my studying time.
Tests pretty much clicked instantly after that, and I was a near 4.0 student for the rest of high school.
