BUt i guess i havent always practice islam to the best ways i could have but i am trying to improve on my knowledge and my dedication but i wanted to know being a good person does it count towards being a good muslim and whats the difference.

Assalamu alaykum

MashaAllah, it's good you want to better yourself. The best is one who strives hard to be a better muslim, to earn the pleasure of Allah subhana wa ta'ala by his good intentions in acts of worship and deeds (be steadfast in deen which includes fulfilling rights of others). Have both hope of forgiveness and mercy from Allah the Most Exalted and fear His punishments. Only Allah ta'ala knows who is a good muslim. But we can try to be better inshaAllah.

how can you tell if your a good muslim

You can't - only Allah [swt] can judge something as major as that. You just gotta' do what Allah [swt] has prescribed, e.g. fasting, praying, being a good person with good intentions, etc., and refrain from the evil!

Keep it up!

it is mentioned somewhere the best sinner is the one who is aware he is sinning and regrets it.
noone can tell you who is a good person besides Allaah
He alone knows the truth in ones heart

may Allaah keep you steadfast.
