How can I make a drastic change in my grades?!? Pleas help, Im in 8th grade.?

I have a D in language and Algebra 1, I have a C in science, I have an A in American Cultures and english. Last year I was a straight A student, but I have been struggling a lot this year with school. I study 5 hours a day. I get up at 5 Am and study for 1 hr and 30 min, during school i study for 1 hr during study hall, and at home I study for 3 hr and 30 min. I always pay attention in school and take lots and lots of notes. I get extra help. During study halls and sometimes after school I always get help in the class I am struggling in. I dont know why im not doing good in school this year. I turn in all of my homework, its the tests that get me. I have a hard time processing things, it takes a while to click. Can you please give me some advice on how to improve my grades? I would really appreciate it,

thanks(:How can I make a drastic change in my grades?!? Pleas help, Im in 8th grade.?
It sounds like you're really freaking out, try not to panic, you're doing the right thing to ask for help now. Maybe try to approach studying in a different way, the method you're using might be sufficient for studying some subjects, but maybe you need to study differently for languages and algebra. Ask your teachers for some guidance. There are so many resources online - google them - to find different study methods and help for the subjects you are struggling most with. Try youtube or podcasts from itunes for help with languages. I also find youtube helpful for maths tuition.

Maybe you get freaked out with tests and then you forget everything you've studied, so then what you should do is just calm down and breathe.O.o
I think that you are too stressed out. Try and take deep breaths before a test. Remember that it's not the end of the world. Keep trying your best to get your grades up. I believe that it might be getting up too early to study. Try to tone down the studying a little bit. Hopefully, that will help.
