You can put this solution on YOUR website! Read up on test taking strategies. Or, experiment with different methods of learning (e.g. flashcards, audio/visual methods, repetition, etc.).

You can put this solution on YOUR website! It sounds like the teachers have let you down in the early grades. You should not have that much trouble understanding. Ask to go to normal, rather than gifted classes in August, insist on it. See how you do. Those gifted classes, teachers often think, "these kids are smart, I won't have to explain things to them" and they get lazy. Have your parents pick some work books designed for summer at your grade level, insist that your parents help you with them. You will feel much better if you go into the 6th grade knowing what to expect.
