you can't pull grades -knowledge- out of thin air.

Instead, you need to focus on studying efficiently, remembering well, and performing to the best of your ability in the exam itself.

best of luck,
John

I hear you girl! Had the same problem) Poor grades are from not studying and not having discipline to study and any desire. Well maybe there's desire but its our birth given laziness that's in the way)) Sorry to be in you face, but that's the fact) Had to face it myself. Anyways, try visualizing yourself studying. Feel your brain getting smarter) Haha. I'm serious! You can feel as if you're driving your new ferrari but there's also one when you feel yourself getting smarter from reading those most of time boring chapters.And feel the satisfaction of that good grade. Its a little hard so what I do is I start to imagine and feel all of this waaay before I actually sit down to study. At times I just want to sit down and study just to get it over with so I don't have to imagine it anymore and concentrate on something more interesting like the ferrari)))
Good luck!

P.S. I stopped visualizing my graduation because I can't help the thought that I'm gonna trip)))

Before you start to study, right before you open the book, close your eyes, take a deep breath and say "I will remember everything I need for the exam". And then, when the exam is placed in front of you, before you even pick up your pencil, close your eyes, take a deep breath and say "I will remember everything I need for this exam". This worked for me when I was in school. My instructors were convinced that I would not pass my licensing exam. Not only did I pass, I got one of the highest grades in the class, and also wound up becoming an instructor. You can do it!

As a fellow student, I can see that you're really worried about your grades, if your graduation is in jeopardy. First of all, relieve your stress. Secondly, if there's any work you're missing, hand it in, even though it's late. See if you can make up for tests you did badly on. And if you don't have one already, get a planner and organize whatever tests you need to study for.

As far as the Secret is concerned, make a mock report card and put down what you want your grades to look like. Visualize yourself graduating with honors.

Most importantly, stay positive. You seem to worry about needing better grades, which can only make your grades worse. Instead, listen to some relaxing music and feel confident about your grades.
