Do you feel that you are learning the information but having problems at test time? I have two friends, one has an anxiety disorder and the other has a BP disorder, who have this problem. What they did was get permission from the school to take their tests in a quiet, secluded environment which helps them tremendously. If you do well on assignments but not exams this may be an option for you to look into, both friends have brought their grades out of the abyss since starting this.
Do your profs post their lecture notes on blackboard or any other digital format? If so it is always good to print them out and take lecture notes on the printouts. The reason for this is divided attention, when you are busy writing what they have on the board or overhead projector you cannot fully attend to all the extra details that tie everything together. If your profs don't provide their notes online, suggest to them that they should. I work in a cognition research lab and have seen and read enough data that supports this.
