Hi Hamza! I suggest you create a study schedule and stick to it. You could study for two hours straight every night or try studying for 30 minutes, taking a 15-minute break, and then studying for another 30 minutes. If you find anything confusing, talk to your professors after class or go to tutoring sessions. Don't wait too long to clear up any confusion because it can get worse as the class moves on.

Hello! My advice would be to stay focused of course. If you're not doing any extracurriculars, it's easier for you to prioritize your grades above everything else. Spend more time going over things you're stuck on and be sure to ask your teachers as many questions you need to. Please don't make the mistake of not asking when it is their job to teach you.
Find a study method that works for you also. I personally use Quizlet and Gizmo for subjects like my language, English, and History. I mainly use those for studying terms, so you can use them for math and science as well. However, for those subjects, I'd say try to do practice problems if you're struggling. If possible, ask your teacher to give you some or try to find some online (pdfs, wayground, khan academy, etc).
To prevent burnout from putting so much time and effort into your work, find things that make you happy outside of school. Maintain hobbies, have days where you do nothing school-related; just remember to be human at the end of the day. That alone can make you more likely to succeed in school!
