    Studying Time
In summary: Clearly you're not doing as well as you think you should be so that either means that you're not studying enough... OR... you're not studying properly. If more time investment does not do the trick, I'd ask someone at your school to help with how you study.

These answers are excellent guys. I see now that i can't just hope to "do everything the teacher says" and keep up, and that I'v got to undertake some independent study.

I think education is not so much based on intellect but based on the self-discipline to cultivate and maintain intellect.

I just wasn't putting enough time in.
