As far as studying... First, calm down. Take a deep breath. Let it out. Repeat a few times.
Public school gives people some really bad study habits... Instead of learning a topic in order to understand it, you typically learn a subject in order to pass a test at the end of the week, then forget about it. Because of the emphasis on tests, you get a lot of stress when you're studying... Now tell me, can you think well when you are stressed? No? Well, neither can I. Now that you're in college, you have years and years of practice with getting stressed out while studying, since studying leads to a test...
Here's something to practice... Stop worrying about the grades. I honestly did not know about my last three semester's worth of grades until last week, and I got almost all A's, except for two B's. When I was worrying about what grades I'd get, I'd average C's, simply because I would stress out about them. Study with the intent to learn the material for your own benefit, not so that you can pass a test that means nothing when you are actually applying your knowledge in the non-academic world. Forget about the tests, and let the fear of failing go with it... Just work on making yourself better. Will it help you on your test? Really, I'm not the one who can answer that... only experience can... It will, however, help your tremendously when you are out of school, which is worth far more than a grade on a transcript that nobody will see.
