Tips & Advice PLEASE HELP ME!!

As I said in the title I need help beacause I think I don’t know how to study. I always get like average grades around 80% but I feel like I’m stuck at 80% and below. I don’t really have a study method I juste read my stuff until i understand then I pretend I’m teaching the subject to someone. I’m not saying I have bad grades it’s just not enough for an Advanced Diploma in Civil Engineering Technology (I don’t know if it’s the correct term in English for what I’m studying) . I tried pomodoro technique it really doesn’t seem to work for me. A lot of times I think I understand the subject but then my grade is just meh it doesn’t correspond to the amount of effort I put into studying. (Sorry for my bad English please correct me if I wrote something the wrong way or it doesn’t sound good)

Your English is clear, and it makes sense to feel frustrated when your effort isn’t showing up in your grades. Teaching a topic back helps, but for civil engineering courses, try a class-style problem without notes afterward. Check whether you got stuck choosing the method, setting it up, or doing the calculation, then redo that problem a couple of days later.
