Ok need some advice. I'm facing inminent failure regarding my last year in high shool as I have my last final exams tomorrow and the following day, and I know absolutely nothing.
I'm 19 and still in high school because I had to repeat one year. My parents think that I'm going to pass without trouble, which is clearly not true.
I'm thinking about either dropping it and start working or repeat again and waste another year, but I don't really know what to do at this point, either way im going to be a dissapointment. What should I do?
GED??

Hahaha. I was in a position like you once, Anon. I'd ended up dropping out of highschool. It wasn't all that bad for a bit, but boy did things change.... I got kicked out of my house, no place would hire me, and for the past little bit I've had no choice but to dance on a street corner with an old soup can in order to raise money to buy myself a new pair of shoes. Every day, I have to deal with almost being robbed, beaten, disrespected, spit on, and abused. I can't walk into a store without customers turning away, and employees asking me to leave. Every night I have to sleep on a bedbug infested bed that's been shared by many others like myself without a home. This is hell. I've only got 5 more minutes on the computer today, but this is my only release. This is the only place I can come where people might still see me as human. Don't be like me OP. Succeed where I have failed. Goodbye.

You almost certainly have something like it. When your exams are done, find out what it is.
But for now, you have other work to do. Plan to get up one half-hour earlier than usual. Set an alarm for eight hours before that point, or whatever you need to get a good night's sleep. Once that alarm goes off, you must stop studying and go straight to bed; you have done all you can.
After this, study your material in a series of passes. On the first pass, skim through your texts and take notes. On your second pass, read through your notes, going back to the text to clarify points you don't understand, and expand your notes accordingly. Every pass after this is just a repeat of the previous one, taking into account the fact that after each one, you have more notes. Remember to stop when the alarm goes off.
When you wake up, make one last pass through your notes (remember that you have only half an hour to do this). Then take the test. This technique cannot work miracles -you will not get a perfect score- but it may be enough to make the difference between failing and passing.
