I have trouble concentrating on my studies. How to concentrate?

I used to be the same way. I study my notes and go over formulas for math everyday so I'm not cramming at the last minute.  Also, when I study, I listen to classical music.  It seems to relax me so I remember more.

depends when you ned to concentrate. in the exam itself or in the study leading up to it?  in the exams take a bottle of water and a packet of smarties (chocolates) and get into a routine...take a sip of water, eat a smartie and answer a question.  and if ur having trouble concentrating while studying turn off the computer. they're the worst things along with TV's to make u not concentrate.  sit down at a desk with only a lamp and the stuff you want to study and a drink of water, and make sure there's nothing remotely interesting to look at in the room. nothing. make sure ur warm but not too warm and you have everything you ned to keep going for a while, and sit down and do it. stop procrastinating!

I make a plan. I find out how many days I have avaliable to study in and how many books/ pages have to be read, and then I make a plan, a realistic one, where you have to do more or less the same amount of reading every day - and then I try to keep the plan, that's the hard part ;-) \n\nOh, and when studying, I turn off the computer, the TV, the lot - and try to concentrate. Do take notes. Write questions for yourself. Find the answers later (or ask a friend or the teacher). If you have to learn something by heart, write cue words down, have them hanging around the house (one on the fridge, one in the bathroom - whereever). That way you can practice many times during the day. And it isn't as obnoxious as it might sound + it works...\n\nGood luck with the exams.

Try some yoga or just breathe. Take it slow and start a study regime. Do things at a specific time and don't go off it. Feel confident that you know the info. . Whenever you don't know an answer go with your gut feeling. Take deep breathes whenever you feel like you're going to fail.\nGood luck and just breathe.

U must alays study with a clear mind and in an environment u can focus. Some people like to have a little soft music on the side to calm them down while others like total silence, u just choose what u prefer. Read as much as u can in 30-45mins and take a 5-10min break at all times, this helps so u dont lose yo concentration. To remember key points u must always have acronyms which are letters which represent a poi eg B- Be organised.

One very good tip is to listen. This is a good tip because if you listen to what the teacher says it can often help you to cut out unnecessary studying to the subject. \n\nWhen studying make sure that there is little no distractions in the room - this can include TV or Music or siblings.\n\nSkim over the text briefly before studying to fix what it is about in your mind. Look at the headings and see if you know what is discussed under each one.\n\nStudy in sections. After each section quiz yourself on two or more points and also at the end of your study period.\n\nHope that is of some help...

Do you exercise and take enough breaks? Maybe that would help. When you are on your breaking point of studying, stop. Don't force yourself into staring into books when you are not into it. Quality time may help more than quantity.\n\nDrink enough water, and well.. take enough breaks.

Its usually a good rule to keep the noise to a minimum.\n\nTurn off any music and TV's as they can be distracting.\n\nGet some snacks and drinks because studying is hard work.\n\nTry to get a partner to study with as sometimes they have some good skills to share.\n\nIf needed, try to have a tutor along for the ride cuz they will certainly help you out.\n\nUse the library if available as it is always a good atmosphere to study in.\n\n Be Smart and study hard so you can make a great adult someday!\n\n............think about it............

Keeping a regular time everyday for studying is a good idea. In that time keep a specific time period for a subject you need to improve in. Practice questions of that subject everyday and read up lesson everyday. Keep a timetable so that in week aside from homework you can study the subjects. For exmaple, keep a day for studying biology, another day for geography etc. It will help you. \nAlso I would recommend a meditation, it helps improve concentration. Sit straight and comfortably, focus your breathing, breathe deep hear the sound of your breath. Do this for 5 to 10 mins. It'll help. Good luck!

Been there, done that.\nWhen ever you read something, create a picture of it.\nwhen i study, i take breaks. Most of the time when i study, I walk and pace. The pictures in my head help me most.\nOne important thing, make sure you understand one thing at a time and when you are done with a page, dont go to the next page until you have absolutely memorized the whole page completely.\nSometimes, i re write everything again, helps me alot. Especially using different colors.

I understand completely! The best way is to manage your time efficiently. When you get home from school set and follow a schedule. For example, give yourself a half hour to get a snack and to situated yourself. Next begin with the subject that will require the most concentration and effort. don't work for hours straight because it'll increase your chances of getting distracted. Work in hour increments and reward yourself by allowing ten minute breaks in between. Make sure that when you do homework and study that your t.v's are off radios are off and there's quite so you can concentrate. If home is took hectic try the school or your local library, the setting of your study area is crucial. If you're not one to study in dead silence fine, just make sure it's comfortable and that you can actually focus and get work done in a timely manner. This way if you get all your homework done right away you will be able to sleep easy at night without having to worry if something didn't get finished and you will have time to relax and watch your favorite shows. Just remember, set up a schedule that will make the best of your time and relaxation is only a few homework problems away.

every one studies differently .\nsome cannot study for long periods of time\nsome can only study with background music on.\nor some can study in dim lights . whatever you are, you gotta discover your self.\n\nbut if you have short attention span, try taking abreak after every, say 30min-1hr, then take a 5min break to freshen up then come back again.

For one thing, focus on what you want to achieve or what you are supposed to be doing at the moment. Eliminate all distractions.  Concentration is a discipline of the mind so it does take practice especially since we have so many distractions these days.  Try meditation to improve your concentration.

Well what helped me when I was in college was I high-lighted the important parts of the text. That did wonders for me and I also took notes as well so I could do some cross refrencing between the two. \n\nAs far as reading, I encourage you do focus on it as much as you can. Be it everyday or everyother day, have it be apart of your schedule on a regular basis. That's important. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.\n\nI was the type were I could not stay at home and study, so I went to the local library and rented a study room for a few hours. It was helpful.

First list out the things that are distracting you or blocking your growth. Secondly work out a plan how you can get rid of them. Third take a short break and go for a short trip or outing. After you come back start fresh. I am sure you will find some difference and you should be able to do well.\n\nI was very good student and scoring high marks during my school days. But during my college, I wasn't performing as expected. One day I started listing out things I thought was distracting me and eating my time. And they were:\n\nSmoking, Hanging out for a long time, etc..... Slowly I got rid of them and was able to get back my balanced life. And automatically I started focusing more on studies and performed well. Since I realized this very late (during my 3rd year) I was only able to correct myself just before my exams. But still I scored 80%.\n\nI wish all the best to you. Take care
