[edit] Steps

Set up study buddy days. After school at home or in a park or even the library nearby, but actually study, don't go and talk. This is an easy way to boost your grades. Doing homework alone is boring. If you do it with someone else, it is more fun and easier.
Remember all the materials you need to study and complete you homework. You may want to keep a planner and write down assignments so you don't forget. Pretty basic, but it helps a lot.
Call a friend and ask them to help you if you do forget a book. It's pretty much like having your history book over the phone.

[edit] Tips

When your mom or dad will ask if you have any tests coming up, remember to memorize it so your mom or dad are impressed.
If you have a test you forgot to study for ask your teacher if you can have another day to study. This works especially well in classes you aren't doing well in because you teacher will do anything if you are more serious and take time to boost your grades. Just say, " I feel like I didn't fully understand this when I was studying, but now I'm getting it. So could I possibly make up the test tomorrow at lunch?" That will show him/her you're responsible.
If your parents ask you what you're doing in you room, tell them you're studying for the big test coming up. They'll be impressed. Just make sure you have a book with you, just in case they want to come check up on you.

[edit] Warnings

Never say you're studying for a test if you don't have the supplies listed below.
The TV has to be off. You really will learn more if you're not multi-tasking.
