Studying and exams? Not doing so well on exams?

We are not so different! Well i go college, until Year 10/11 I was failing. However I tried this method where I read the information from the book out aloud and then break it down and again speak it verbally to myself. The answer in essence is repetition, eventually it will "sink" in I did over 8 months of revision for Maths Gcse and within 3 months was able to answer the most difficult questionss with ease.
