I am currently in my senior year of high school, I have been working hard and putting in effort, but my grades have been consistently declining. What should I do?

Senior year is a nightmare that many people will never forget. You will take many exams, and everyone will try their best to get a good ranking and be in the forefront.

You can handle the spotlight.

However, there are only a limited number of places available, and the places in the best schools are even more limited. You need to be clear about your situation. You were once at the top of the class, and then you got a place in the elite class. You needed time and energy because of your relationship, but you got through it.

If you don't face challenges, you'll fall behind. You have your own worries and want to experience life, but you can't have your cake and eat it. It's very uncomfortable to slip to the bottom of the rankings, and what's even more devastating is that your partner is a little better than you.

You are fully devoted to your studies, constantly brushing up on your knowledge and working hard. However, your grades are still not where they should be, and you and your partner have become enemies. Everyone is on the same log bridge of the college entrance exam, so they are in a state of gritting their teeth and not smiling.

The other person is still surpassing you, and it is also damaging your internal energy, making you feel that your self-esteem has been hurt. You must adjust your mentality, reduce comparisons with others, and make a breakthrough in the final sprint.

You need to work hard because academic performance improves gradually. If you don't make progress, you'll fall behind. You still have some time, so concentrate on studying without any distractions. Think about your goals and seek appropriate psychological counseling when you feel anxious and restless. Do your best!

What is ZQ?

Dear question owner, I empathize with your sense of helplessness, as conveyed in your description. I offer you a warm embrace in response.

1.

Studying is analogous to climbing a hill. Despite exerting considerable effort, it may appear that no progress has been made in comparison to others. However, this does not indicate a decline in one's level. In fact, compared to previous levels, there has been a discernible improvement. The current level of proficiency is superior to that of the previous day.

2.

It is important to note that everyone has a ceiling, particularly given the limited time available. I empathize with your situation.

The high school curriculum is replete with challenging material, and it is not uncommon for students who exert considerable effort to fail to attain the outcomes they desire. There is frequently a discrepancy between one's aspirations and the actual outcomes.

3.

It is inevitable that everyone will have shortcomings, and that there will be too much to make up for. Our energy is limited, and it is therefore not possible to achieve everything. The stress of high school learning can cause some people to become ill, either physically or mentally.

When this pressure exceeds one's own limits, a sense of powerlessness and foreboding can ensue.

4. It is acceptable to strive for excellence, but it is also important to be mindful of one's limitations. Students often engage in rigorous academic pursuits, with some studying for up to 10 hours a day. While a demanding schedule may be tolerable in the short term, it can become unsustainable over time. It is crucial to recognize that we are human, not superhuman.

5.

High school is merely one phase of life and a brief chapter in one's academic journey. Merely excelling in one's studies does not guarantee success in the wider world. Each age brings unique challenges.

6.

Indeed, each day brings us closer to a future that may be brighter than we imagine. The winds of reform and openness have brought us new opportunities, and it is evident that attending school is not the only path to success. The significance we place on high school education likely stems from the pivotal years when the college entrance exam was reinstated, as it altered the trajectory of many individuals' lives. However, the landscape has shifted, and our prospects have diversified. It is crucial to recognize that not every individual can gain admission to a top-tier institution.

7.

The pursuit of a good university education often results in the neglect of one's health, with individuals failing to prioritize its treatment in order to achieve this goal. However, this raises the question: is there something inherently wrong with our health? The answer is no.

If one were to choose between a university education of a high standard and good health, which would be the preferable option?

8.

My nephew spent the majority of his three-year tenure at the secondary level in a romantic relationship. His academic performance was not exemplary, yet he proceeded to take the examination for a vocational institution and selected the field of study that aligned with his interests. Our trajectories diverge, yet this does not preclude the possibility of a promising future. Every profession has its own exemplars. The objective of pursuing an education is to secure superior alternatives, but it does not imply the absence of viable options.

9.

Entering society represents a new starting point. It is expected that, provided one works hard and steadily in the industry for an extended period of time, one will be fruitful.

I extend my sincerest congratulations on your success. It is my hope that the insights I have shared will prove beneficial and inspirational. I encourage you to strive for excellence and to maintain a healthy sense of self-compassion.

Hello, question asker! I'm so happy to answer your question!

First, give the questioner a big hug and let them know you're there for them. It's totally normal to feel anxious when facing these challenges. It's okay to feel a little down when you're not sure how to handle things. From what you've shared, it seems like the questioner is just experiencing some self-doubt and anxiety because they're investing a lot of effort without seeing the results they want. It's natural to worry about grades, especially when you're trying your best.

Is the student struggling in all their subjects, or just one in particular? Would it help to focus on the subject in which they are better?

Anxiety is actually a natural, healthy way of protecting yourself when you're facing challenges. When you're stressed, your body releases chemicals that make you feel anxious. So, is it normal for the questioner to feel anxious, or is it something unique to them?

I'm sure you're wondering what I mean by that. It's simply a question of whether the anxiety or worry about the illness is something only you think about.

When most people encounter a situation like the questioner's, for example, facing the pressure of the college entrance exam, do they feel different emotions than ordinary students? It's totally normal to feel worried and anxious when facing the college entrance exam! And it's also totally normal for only the questioner to feel anxious, while others don't feel any pressure.

How can students cope with these pressures? How can teachers help everyone?

I'm not sure if the questioner has thought about this yet, or if they're just feeling overwhelmed. It's totally normal to feel this way!

It's totally normal for students to feel anxious when they're in the same boat. It's only natural to worry about the college entrance exam or your studies. The key is how to handle these tough situations.

The questioner can also ask their teacher how to deal with stress, or even seek help from a counselor. It's so important to get psychological intervention as early as possible, so that any adjustments can be made right away. This will really help to reduce the questioner's academic pressure, and make sure their emotions don't get too anxious.

From what the questioner has shared, it's clear they've put in a lot of hard work. In fact, I'd say they've been working really hard! But it seems like their classmates might not be as focused as they could be. When studying, it's important to be targeted. I'm not sure the so-called "question-sea" tactic will be the best approach here.

It's totally normal to feel a bit confused after an exam. It's always a good idea to take a moment to reflect on why you got the questions wrong, which knowledge points you need to reinforce, how you approached the questions, and what you could have done differently. The point of an exam is to demonstrate your understanding of the material in a way that aligns with the examiner's expectations.

So, the questioner can put themselves in the other person's shoes. If you were the examiner, what would you test the student on? What aspects of knowledge do you want to understand?

I really believe that if you can understand the purpose or significance of the exam and learn with a purpose based on this, you'll get better results. If you can, it's also a great idea to sort through the knowledge points you've mastered. Think about what you're already good at, what you could work on a bit more, and write them down and summarize them.

Since the question was asked on a platform, I'd love to offer some simple suggestions on the topic of anxiety.

Take a moment to sit down and write down the worst possible outcome.

It's totally normal to feel anxious about giving a public speech. We've all been there! The list method is a great way to get those negative thoughts out of your head and onto paper. Once you've written them down, you'll have a fresh perspective. You'll be able to look at your own affairs as if they were someone else's, and you'll feel more at ease.

I know it can be tough, but I promise you'll see that the worst case scenario isn't as bad as you thought.

The questioner is feeling a bit overwhelmed by the current pressure on academic studies and would love to find someone to share these pressures with, but hasn't had much luck. Then the questioner can try writing down the worst possible outcome.

What's the worst that could happen? Is it something you'd be unhappy about? If it did happen, would you be able to accept it?

I've got a simple piece of advice for you: even if you don't do so well in the exam, you're still going to be just fine. And even if you do really badly, there's still no reason why you can't try to do better next time.

If you have any worries, it's totally okay to write them down. We're here to help you.

Take a moment to think about the things that are on your mind.

Make a list of the problems that trouble you. Be honest with yourself, and list the three problems that trouble you most at the moment. Then, write three solutions to each problem. Even the question owner can focus on the problem you most want to solve at the moment. You can try to solve it yourself, or you can ask someone else to help you solve it.

If you feel like you can't solve it on your own, don't worry! You can always seek psychological intervention from a counselor, who will be happy to help.

It's so important to learn to accept your emotions.

It's totally normal to feel anxious before an exam. It's actually a good thing! It's your body's way of protecting you. But sometimes it can feel overwhelming. If you're feeling anxious, try to relax for a bit. Let your mind and body unwind. Don't think about anything, just let your emotions flow.

It's so important to learn to accept yourself, relax your emotions, and even treat yourself to some sweets if you want to feel happy! If you have a good grasp of the knowledge, you can even do something you are interested in the day before the exam, such as finding your own way to relax, so that you can face things the next day with a good attitude.

I really hope my answer can help the questioner!

Hello, question asker!

I get it. It might feel like there are still 100 days until the college entrance exam, but if you count the rest and vacation time and other distractions, there are less than 100 days. It's normal to have exam anxiety at this time, and it's also normal to see results from your hard work.

I get it. It might feel like there are still 100 days until the college entrance exam, but if you count the rest and vacation time and other distractions, there are less than 100 days. It's normal to have exam anxiety at this time, and it's even more normal to see your grades decline despite your hard work. Let's take a look together:

and facing exam anxiety head-on.

Overcoming exam anxiety

"I get really anxious and scared every time I take an exam. Often, while taking the exam, I will feel my whole body heating up, and I will be so overwhelmed that I won't be able to think calmly. I won't even be able to see the questions, and I will feel inexplicable anger, a strong sense of being pushed." This is a typical manifestation of exam anxiety.

I won't even be able to see the questions, and I will feel inexplicable anger, a strong sense of being pushed." This is a typical manifestation of exam anxiety.

It's normal to feel anxious when facing a big exam like the college entrance exam. The good news is that the questioner hasn't been trapped in it and is already taking action.

Some of these reasons include taking a good, hard look at why your grades have been declining, making the most of every moment to study, and searching the internet for ways to practice answering questions and putting them into practice.

It might be that you haven't seen any obvious results yet, but that doesn't mean you should doubt yourself. As the questioner said

"I can feel that I'm making progress when I practice." Sometimes you can't see the results of your efforts right away, but the questioner believes that their efforts will definitely pay off on the college entrance exam.

Take a look at why your grades have gone down.

Take a look at why your grades have gone down.

The questioner mentioned that part of the reason is love, but it might be worth thinking about whether there are other reasons.

For instance, the competition for the exam is intense, the expectations are sky-high, you haven't fully grasped the material, you didn't pay enough attention to the details, you were a bit careless, your learning methods could use an upgrade, and so on. Another reason could be that other students are making more progress than you are (even though you've been putting in the work).

For instance, the competition for the exam is intense, the bar is set pretty high, you haven't fully grasped the material, you haven't studied the questions as closely as you should have, you've been a bit careless, your study methods could use an upgrade, and so on. Another reason could be that other students have made more progress than you have (even though you've put in the work, other students haven't been idle and are also studying hard).

You can only improve your grades in a more targeted way by figuring out the specific reason for the decline. The questioner mentioned "completely understanding the most questions in the limited time."

The method may be good, but it doesn't really suit you. You might have got it wrong because you haven't mastered a certain knowledge point or you were careless. It won't be very effective to just keep on doing the same number of questions. Try to identify which knowledge points you haven't fully understood, and what you missed when you skipped questions. Mark them out when you do the questions next time.

If you organize the wrong questions again, you might be able to improve your grades a lot by getting all the questions you know right.

Here are some tips for improvement:

Believe in yourself, because your attitude is part of the exam too.

Believe in your ability to improve your current situation, analyze your strengths and weaknesses, focus on your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, analyze the test situation and test papers, and strive to get the highest score in the shortest time.

Believe in your ability to improve your current situation. Take a good look at your strengths and weaknesses. Pay attention to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Look at the test situation and test papers. Strive to get the highest score in the shortest time possible.

The college entrance exam is not just about the score on the test paper. There's also a "mental score" involved. Every time there's a major exam, there are many students who do poorly even though they usually get good grades (this is the famous Clarke phenomenon). When you're in a good mood, it often means you're already halfway to success.

The usual accumulation

And see it as a chance to build up your knowledge.

Good grades take time. Be happy you still have 100 days left, even though you can't change what's already happened. Make the most of the time you have left and make every day count. See every exam, every set of papers, and every question as a chance to practice and improve.

Good grades come with time and effort. It's good to remember that you still have 100 days left, even though the past is gone and can't be changed. But it's important to make the most of the time you have, make every day fulfilling and meaningful, and treat every exam, every set of worksheets, and every question as an opportunity to practice and improve.

It's also a good idea to work on your learning methods. Try using different memory techniques, create a daily study plan, and don't be afraid to ask teachers and classmates for help when you need it. Being able to draw inferences and knowing what you know are also important. This will help you feel more confident.

At the same time, it's important to work on your learning methods. Try using different memory techniques, create a daily study plan, and don't be afraid to ask teachers and classmates for help when you need it. Being able to draw inferences and knowing what to do are also key. And don't forget to boost your confidence!

It's important to combine work and rest, and to learn to relax.

It's okay to take a break when you're tired. It's better than forcing yourself to keep studying.

You can use muscle relaxation, breathing exercises, or even running or listening to music to relax and then get back into your study state. You may even find that your learning efficiency has improved.

Just be yourself and don't worry about what others think for now.

"I think she must have completely looked down on me." "Those who once paid attention to me gradually labeled me a 'false effort.'"

You can use these descriptions to study. The questioner is still concerned about what others think and evaluate of them. It's not really important at the moment whether these are true or not. What is important is to seize the time to improve their grades and just go at their own pace.

You can read books about these descriptions. The questioner is still concerned about what others think and evaluate about him/her. It doesn't matter if these are true or not. What matters is that you seize the time to improve your grades and just go at your own pace.

It's a good idea to get psychological counseling before the exam.

If you need more help, the school's psychological counseling office can assist you. If your anxiety is more severe, you can also seek professional help from a mental health professional.

If you're struggling with more serious anxiety, you can get help from the school's psychological counseling office. If you need a diagnosis or want to try medication, you can also go to the hospital.

I hope my answer is helpful to the questioner. Best wishes!

Hello! Just wanted to send you a warm hug from afar.

You can feel how strong the desire is to improve your grades, but after some sleepless nights and unrelenting efforts, when your grades still haven't improved, you feel helpless and anxious.

For a student who has always been at the top of the class, facing a sudden decline in grades is tough to take. It means all the affirmation, encouragement, appreciation, and favor you received when you were at the top of the class have disappeared. Instead, you may get sarcasm, ridicule, and mockery in return, indifference, alienation, and rejection. There's also the prejudice of teachers and classmates towards your early love affecting your studies. You and your girlfriend are both at the bottom of the class, which makes you feel embarrassed as a boy in front of your girlfriend. You want to be excellent in her eyes. You also want to pass the college entrance exam and enter the good university that you and your parents expect. This series of pressures and realistic factors have become the driving force for you to improve your academic performance.

It's clear that there are many factors influencing your decision to improve your academic performance. It's likely that you're putting in a lot of effort because you're driven by a love for learning. However, when someone is motivated by external factors, the reward may not be as significant because they're doing it for someone else.

Of course, you're motivated to study more to improve your grades, but you also know how important it is to study hard. Your academic performance hasn't improved much, and it might have a lot to do with your learning methods. You've put more energy into hard work, you're eager to improve your grades, and you've been too busy to transform your learning methods and techniques. What do you think?

It's also clear from your description that your expectations of yourself are a bit unrealistic. With such intense study, you need to make sure you get enough sleep, eat healthy food, and have time for leisure and entertainment. Otherwise, you'll have less energy and a less positive mindset to devote to your studies and improve your learning efficiency.

So, you can definitely work to improve your grades during this special period. Just remember to follow the objective laws of your body and make appropriate adjustments to your learning methods. For example, you can try the Pomodoro technique, where you concentrate on completing certain learning tasks for a certain period of time and reward yourself at the end. You can also combine work with rest. And of course, you can discuss and learn from the learning methods of other outstanding students to better improve your academic performance.

I'm Lily, the little ear of the Q&A Museum. The world and I love you.

Hello, question owner. It's like seeing a friend face-to-face when you see their handwriting.

As a senior who has just taken the college entrance exam, I'm going to discuss this topic with you.

I want to share a saying with you. I don't know if you've heard it before: in the first and second years of high school, we were taught to be a disciplined student. In the third year, we were taught how to deal with the exam. This doesn't mean you don't have to work hard in the first and second years. It just means the most critical period is the third year.

Never give up, even in your third year of high school. Your college entrance exam score is not determined by your mock exam scores.

Maintain confidence in yourself.

There will always be dark horses in college entrance exams, and some people will always perform poorly. The most important thing is to never give up and to stay calm until the end.

You must endure the darkness before dawn. It's the final period, so don't waste time worrying about others. Raise your marks and prepare for the exam in a healthy way.

You need to focus on four things right now: stay healthy, build a strong mentality, expand your knowledge, and use your exam experience to your advantage. Believe in yourself and know that you will not lose.

It doesn't matter what others say. You know the process, and you'll bear the results. Like the original poster, we care about what others think.

You must be attentive and surround yourself with knowledge to disregard the opinions of others.

The long wind and waves will break, and the cloud-piercing sails will cross the sea.

You've got this. I believe in you. Good luck on the college entrance exam.

Those who used to pay attention to me gradually gave me the title of "fake hardworking." I don't know what I've gained from working so hard, but I'm excited to find out! When I handed in my fifth exam paper, I wanted to hide in the corner of the exam room so that no one could see me. When I left the exam room, I could clearly feel the sense of powerlessness in my whole body, and my legs were weak. I can feel that I have gained something while brushing up on the questions, and I'm excited to see what my grades will be!

I guess I've attached too much importance to my studies. My relationship with her has gone from being "lovers" to "rivals competing in terms of grades." She was initially driven by me, and I'm sure I worked harder than her. But now she's surpassed me and even stabilized above the score line that I've always wanted. I think she must have completely looked down on me. I don't know what to do. Is life really that unfair?

I'm ready to accept it, but it seems that I have no energy left. As I fail again and again, and she succeeds again and again, my energy seems to have been taken away by her. I'm excited to improve my grades, but I'm afraid of failing after working so hard because I've never won. Maybe it's because I want to get good grades so badly that I get especially anxious and scared every time I take an exam. Often, while I'm taking the exam, I get hot all over and feel at a loss, to the point where I can't think calmly. I can't even see the questions, and I feel inexplicable anger, a strong sense of being pushed. There are less than 100 days left until the college entrance exam, and if I can't improve my grades, the only thing I'll face is repeating the year. I don't understand, and I don't know what to do. This feeling is so hard to bear.

There are exams coming up soon, and I feel like I have the chance to prove myself!
