I'm not sure if you mean standardized tests or regular classroom tests, but I'll address this to regular school classroom tests.

You need to review the tests and figure out where you are having a problem. Do you know the material in class discussions and freeze when you take a test? If so, you have test anxiety and may need to work with a counselor to break that fear.

If it's not test anxiety, ask yourself these questions: have I done the homework? Have I reviewed the problems I missed on the homework so that I know what I did wrong? Have I asked the teacher to explain things I'm not clear on? How much time did I spend studying and reviewing before the test? You need to be honest with yourself about answering these questions.

You might want to meet with your teacher to get his or her perspective on why you're getting poor test scores. He or she may suggest a tutor, some lunch hour or after class review with the teacher or a small group of students, or some other option. Your teacher wants you to succeed, so ask for help.
