Breathe.
You see like your having a trying time. Breathe. Ok.
I think some de-stressing techniques might be helpful. Give your self practice tests under test-like conditions. Make up your own questions. When you get to the test, you can close your eyes for like 30 seconds or so when you need to regain yourself. Otherwise, drink some water for the same purpose.
When reading for a homework, make quick sum-it-up notes in the margin, if you're not doing that already. Underline phrases you don't understand and be sure to bring them up in class. Look up all unfamiliar terminology and ask anyone either in person or online the definitions so that you can understand your chapters. Find break-it-down books in the reference/test material/study aids aisle of the bookstore. Those books will make the material easier to understand.
Find the other person in the class that doesn't get it. Support each other.
Give yourself a set time interval to do your homework. You can be a little generous. If you don't get it, go do something else and forget your homework. It will be good to have fun, because you will be refreshed when finished. Then come back and work for the next interval. It is better than working straight.
Also, how about hiring a tutor? Put an ad around campus. Someone will be happy to pick up some easy money.
Report back on your progress, please.
