The exam is a long term memory test.There is a clear triangular relationship among the memory, ability of analyzing and the ability of writing. To face your final exam well, you have to concentrate several important factors are behind this process. They are as follows;\n\n(1) Knowing subject matters well.\n(2) Memorizing them regularly as points.\n(3) Practicing to write the answers to the questions guessed.\n(4) Giving up ill thoughts which you have.\n(5) Meditating to gain a calm mind better at the time you are getting and at the time you are going to the bed.\n(6) Living in a calm and quiet environment.\n\nThe above mentioned matters are very helpful to pass an exam.Look at my profile  and they helped me to obtain 3 degrees.These techniques are very useful to the student who wishes to study well.

Well study and review right before the test. It sounds to me that you need some improvement in your study skills! Try writing the info down or typing it out, it might help!

Well I think that you have to make sure that the material is interesting to you.  Even if it is not interesting you have to make yourself like.  Whenever I study, I find it easier if I am at a coffee house or some where like it.  The public always make it more interesting and you have a few things to distract you but then you can go right back to studying.  Also when I go to the library I take snacks, the sugar helps to keep me alert.  You can also listen to music when you are typing papers.  THis always helps me...Good Luck

Do you feel overwhelmed? I know when I was in school, I constantly worried about my grades and exams and I felt OVERWHELMED. When I felt overwhelmed, I couldn't concentrate and I didn't feel like doing my homework etc.\n\nSo, I did my homework a little bit at a time. I studied for short periods of time and that helped some with being overwhelmed.\n\nIF you don't feel overwhelmed, maybe you're choosing the wrong major to study. Do you feel excited about classes? If not, maybe you need to take some different classes to mix things up and explore.

i have the same problem. what i've found to help is to listen to music. i have also found that doing it out side while playing with a pet or while talking to a friend help a lot because then you actually are concentrating but on two things. it should make it easier. or you could tryplaying a sport befor you do your homework.

study + work.\nIf you think it's too tough to handle, take a few subjects, and extend your studies..

just study, study, and study. write up some notecards to make into flash cards, and keep referring to it. \nps, why did you wait so long to study? last minute studying doesn't normally work. you need repetitiveness to make it count on tests.

Why don't you get to work and learn something? You sound like you need it. You won't be bored if you are really learning something, but you will be bored if you are "just putting in time".

*well you should have your sched on how you going to manage your studies and all that crap...\n*well there was a study that eating foods rich in omega 3 gives you more concentration on your study...\n*sleep early so that you could easily retain what you have studied...\n*before sleeping take a cold shower... it really helps\n*oh yeah no phone, no net, no tv will be a help on your study, but i think few people can do this habit\n*most of the people say that it really helps that listening on their fav music give them more concentration on study, but actually it doesnt... in fact it will burden their brain more\n*try to study in front of a wall where you will not see anything but your WALL...

As well as promising yourself a reward you should also try to change your mindset. Think about how important the exam actually is. I used to be really nervous about exams but now I tell myself they don't matter and I can always do them again I actually do much better.

I think that you need to be interested in what you are doing in order for your brain to acknowlege the information you try to feed it. Its a very complicated issue which needs dedicated attention which only you can decide on. Other than that all I can suggest is make sure that your diet has enough viamins & minerals which stimulate brain activity. I aslo think that you should start convincing yourself as to what is more important in life & that will make studying easier. Good luck

It is all in your mind. Change your mental state and you will change your concentration and study ability. How is best left to you to decide. Just shake yourself up...go visit someone you know who failed to complete what you are doing, or go see a high school friend with kids and no job. Shake yourself up and get past the block.

Try being a teacher with ADHD... (Yes, Hyperactive.)  I was diagnosed about 10 years ago.  I am coping well.  I still have days that I forget things, have problems paying attention, and overall spacey; but I learned what things could help me concentrate better.  For instance, for me-> I keep a key or a small amount of change in my pocket at all times.  When I am having problems concentrating, I tend to play with the object.  I am not sure how, but it seems to help me focus better.  I promise... it will get better!

You may be pushing yourself to hard. Sometimes you reach a point of saturation where you can't absorb any more information and you end up exhausted and frustrated. Focus on the quality of your studying, not the quantity. It sounds like your schedule is packed, but try to make time for yourself. Take breaks. A 15 minute slow walk can really help to reduce your anxiety. If you can't tear yourself away, at least stop and take slow deep breaths. Sometimes when we get really anxious, we forget to breathe. Slow deep breaths can help to alleviate anxiety and clear your head. Good luck!

Next time don't wait till the last minute to study.  Learning is a process that can't be achieved over night.  You should be getting a good night sleep.

Rather than studying more, I would suggest studying differently.  Find out how you learn best.  I know that personally I learn better with other people where we can quiz each other.  Plus, you have to understand it to explain it, so talking it out with others may help.  Some people are audio learners, others are visual and need pictures or tables, some are tactile where they need to have things in their hands to manipulate to understand.  Try learning differently.\n\nTry chunking the information into smaller bits.  Don't focus on an entire chapter when you study.  Take things a paragraph or a section at a time.  If you look at a section that's too big, your brain probably freaks out and can't learn it.  It's like chewing... Small pieces so you don't choke. ;)\n\nDon't be afraid to go to your teacher after school for help.  A lot of teachers and professors are very willing to help you or present material in a different way if they know you're really trying to learn it.

It happens to a lot of us, remember that, you are not alone.  I was always a very good student until high school but I always relied on my memory which is very good but that's not a very good study habit, i would read my notes threee hours before bed get an A the next day and erase all that knowledge from my mind as I walked out the classroom,  that will not work in college, so my grades went downhill, reached rock bottom and started to dig now I found out that science is not my strong point but I can easily score A's in humanities and general ed classes, so I know now what to focus more on
