The main thing any test measures is how good you are at taking that particular type of test. People can do very well on academic exams if they have the knack of regurgitating facts or have learned how to perform some task by rote, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have a deep understanding of the subject, it doesn't mean they can apply their knowledge in real-world situations, and it doesn't mean they won't have forgotten everything they learned for the test in three months.
There has been debate about what IQ tests actually measure for as long as they have existed. People can do well on IQ tests and prove to be utterly incapable of performing a useful role in society or even doing reasonably well in school.
If you're having problems at school, then I'd suggest there's either a problem with how you're being taught, you aren't applying yourself, or - regardless of what IQ you supposedly have - you're simply not suited for academic pursuits.
Many people believe there are several types of intelligence, and IQ tests attempt to measure only a narrow range of these. Perhaps your real abilities lie in some direction you haven't yet discovered.
