Learning to Learn is very important. And learning to pass a test is also very important to you. Learning couldn’t be easier!
If you have not developed good ways or methods to study for a test, talk to your classmates about it, your parents, or the teacher like me if you are brave enough. You should be brave enough to talk to others about your problems with your studies.

▲how to learn your lessons in the ninth grade year ▲different modes of teaching you may meet
