Default French/general study help

Well guys I've never been a great studier, and have never had good study habits. Because up until now I've never needed them. However now I've realized that French is killing me and no matter what I do I cannot seem to keep things in my head.

I've tried flash cards, I've tried writing things down over and over again, I've tried just staring at the book and telling it that it will give up it's knowledge to me or else......but alas none of this is working as evident today when I bombed a test I thought thought I had studied well enough for. I simply blanked on it when it was placed in front of me.


So I'm asking any of you who have background in foreign languages (or just general studies) to help me find a way to memorize these things. I'm not sure if it can be impossible for someone to learn something, but I'm praying that it isn't.
