I need help..plz

So its about my studies or not i just dont kno wat.
Ok so math is my favourite subject and i always do good in it and if i dont then its cuz i dont understand it. But since this session started things hav been going wrong and i just dont kno wat has been going wrong and y i cant seem to do good. I understand everything but yet im one of the last ones to finish i hav to ask the teacher sth in every sum. I have this friend and she and i were the best ones in class we always finished before everyone else but she left the school but when she was here i was more enthusiastic during math class there was always sth to look forward to but i dont think me not being able to concentrate or not having enough confidece has anything to do with her going away since i met her in class 6. OK today i marginally passed a very easy math test and even the student who failed the exam last term got waay btter marks then me. And evryone was shocked when they heard about my marks the teacher was like i didnt expect this form u, u were supposed to get the highest. and before i was the one who helped evryone now i am the one who needs help. But the thing is i understand evrything there is nothing that i dont understand but yet i just cant do it. I feel like crying but tears wont fall i feel terrible and even though i manage to stay the same cheery self from the outside sth is just killing me from the inside. and i dont kno how to fix it.

And i just feel like killing myself(not that im going to). Ok i kno math is a really stupid reason but sometimes some things can really mean a lot to someone.
and without maths things just seem worthless.

Hi. First of all, don't take any drastic descisions! I know what you must feel like. In my school I am the one usually making high marks, and there is a lot of pressure if you don't make a good grade once, then everyone becomes shocked. But don't worry, sometimes there are other things on your mind that keep you from studying or maybe you understand what to do but didn't get the problem. I would say just to make sure that you are doing the problems right and ask your teacher what made you get those questions wrong. I hope that this helped! 😊

why does it sound so familiar? 😆 😆 i have been thru that..and ya its rly frustrating when everyone expects u to get like a 100%
idk what ur problem is ..like u said u understand everything but u still don't do well..maybe when ur writing a test u stat to panic a lot..and screw up everything?it happens when ur nervous
or maybe u think u understand everything but the way ur doing it is all wrong? one way to know whether ur doing it right or wrong is to ASK!there's nothing wrong in asking for help..if asking for help is going to get u better grade then why not?
when u get ur test back, do the corrections or take a look at a friend's test n see why u got it wrong...and wut else can u do..ya double check ur answers when ur done writing a test!!
and if u still don't get it then practice..practice..n practice.. 😆 math is the easiest subject of all...all u have do is learn forumulas

One thing is for sure the way im doin it is not all wrong.Ex. of my mistakes:I kno cube root is 1/3 but then i write 2/3 and i still think that i hav written 1/3. or i kno that a number cant be simplified if there is a sign in between but i end but simplyfing them. Or the highest power of x is 1 while writing the L.C.M i write x^2
Maybe its the nervous stuff cuz i get evrything right during class work but i screw up during the test.
Will this continue? Wat can i do to fix it?
It really feels bad when people say'our math freak has suddenly turned into an airhead'
the worst part i cant afford to do bad this term cuz the results will decide if i get to take pure maths or not..
btw i did practice a lot(a lot for me atleast) for todays test and yet i made the stupidest mistake one cld make.
and i never made such mistakes in my life.

Yaar, why is it that it is us Indians that always get the top marks and even if we slip from 90% to 80% every one is shocked and wont let you hear the end of it??

I know how you feel, may i ask what grade you are in?

What you should do is find a study partner to get you motivated and this will, help you concentrate more. I dont know if you are that type of person, but i always listen to music when i study or revise, what you have to do is find that certain music tha tmakes you tick, and I am 100% sure that my type of music will not be ur type of music and it will make your determination deteriorate, so I am not going to bother suggesting it 😆 .

Try out these things and see if it helps.

I'm in 8th grade.I kno wat u mean but im not indian 😛 . my study partner left school and she was the only one who wld study with me and had the same way of thinking. The rest in our class.....none of the girls r good except for one but she doesnt think the same way as i do and the boys who r good at it go for coaching and they r far ahead so if i dont understand anything they tease. I dont really listen to music much.

Hey loads of ppl who r not indians visit india forums.

If that helps, try to do your best. Be mentally prepared and alert whenever you are going to write an exam especially for Maths 😛. I love that subject. lol. OK, I'm going out of subject here. 😆
Say "If I did it in the past, I can do it again". And as it is said "practice makes perfect". Work out 4 maths problems/homework instead of 2 everyday.(Though you said that you practised a lot, you should try harder. Maybe it was not enough... 😊😳).. In the morning before your exam, read again all your notes so that they are still fresh in your mind. And actually, don't be nervous at all while writing the exam. You'll surely make unwanted mistakes because you are not concentrating to 100% and working to the best of your abilities. Wish you all the best! 👍🏼

Having said all this, on a lighter note, I would say that I am not Indian too. 😳 😆
