An intelligent minded person is a specialist. Say a doctor may be intellegent but may not know much about banking. So you have to developed expertise in a field.\n\nThere are two ways of doing it:\n1. Put your mind on your heart - i.e. take the subject you like best and be master of that\n2. Put your heart to your mind - i.e. develop interest and liking what ever you are studying.\n\nFirst is easy, doing the second properly is difficult.

Dont get distracted with all those silly things concentrate on your studies, thats what you are supposed to do at that age. you will find lot of such people, if you start reacting to each and every one your life gets confused.

Hello Desh, I think you are brilliant already. The fact that you are aware that you can't remember some of the answers you read, is the first step in solving the challenge. To tell you the truth IT IS VERY EASY TO STUDY AND REMEMBER!\n\nFirstly, change the environment you study in. Some people study and absorb a lot in quite environments. You can chose a very quite library or study room. If you live in the country side move to the parks, but remember to stay in sight so people will easily come to your aid in case a lunatic threatens you.\n\nSome people also do very good studies in music filled environment. Tune in to your ipod or mp3 player and hit them books.\n\nSometimes you might also want to make it fun. If it is a history subject, put yourself into the drama and be the hero remembering all the characters in the lesson.\n\nOr better make your own music or discuss your topic or subject with one of your favorite friends and tell them to ask you questions about the subject in question. Hey! You are smart and am sure you gonna come out with the grades you are looking for. Good luck sweet heart.

You can't just pick a career and intelligence is only one factor, what do you have the personality for, good with people, good alone, good under pressure, good with tedium, good with delegation, these are all factors. All you can do is educate yourself  as much as possible and try different things

I doubt it, given your poor grammar; if it is true, you should really consider thinking things through a bit more so that you can communicate clearly with others.  No one will respect your intelligence if you can't communicate clearly.

Be willing to learn new study skills is a good place to start. Also setting up a term calendar and study routine is a good idea. When you know what you have to have done and what amount of time you have to do it in you can better allocate your time.\n\nRead every day. If you have a paper to work on, start it the day it is assigned, even if you're just brain storming.\n\nMake sure you attend as many classes as humanly possible. Of course if you're in a car accident or mauled by dingos or something you can't go, but other than that, you should show up. Make sure you take notes and if you miss a class get notes from your classmates. Go over your notes, they may help you in guiding your reading and are invaluable study materials.\n\nTake care of your health. Get lots of sleep, drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods. I know that's not always possible but if given the choice between an apple and a chocolate bar, choose the apple. Try and get 20 minutes of exercise 3 times a week.\n\nKnow your limits. When you feel burned out or just a bit blue, call up a friend and go out for coffee to relax a bit. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Just because that guy in your calculus class can take 5 classes and work two part time jobs and get a 4.0 GPA doesn't mean you have to!\n\nMost important, remember that this time is for you. This is your education and your future. Don't peddle it away trying to live up to others expectations. Set your own goals and enjoy achieving them!

You probably don't need to get smarter(not sure if anybody really can); you probably need to be a little more efficient in your studying.\nTry asking the teachers for a little more help and if that isn't doing it, try some of those learning centers...It's probably that you learn in a certain way and what's being taught just isn't clicking for you.

I have always considered myself intelligent, but never went to college (or even finished High School for that matter... just got my GED).\n\nIt wasn't about the work.. the work was fine.  It was the hassle of High School, trying to fit in, but not doing so, due to my intelligence.  I could hold a conversation about almost any subject in Math, Science, History, etc, but not about Sports, or the current music (although I loved the music of the 80's, I never followed the bands).\n\nWhen it came time for college, I was married with children.  I've self taught myself a lot of things (Zoology, Astronomy, Computer Science... I even programmed in Machine Language for the 6502/6510 processor), but almost never attended classes.\n\nThe only issue I've had (and am currently having) is that very few people will offer a job to someone without a degree.  As crazy as it may seem, I can program in VB, have a good knowledge of Java, did release engineering for my previous employer, but I can't easily get a job in even Tech Support because of the lack of a damn degree.  (One of my previous co-workers got a BS from India, but she couldn't even begin to understand logic theory, which drives me mad!)\n\nSometimes, taking Certification exams can help.  These will certify that you are competent in a particular area, without caring about whether you are self taught, or learned in a classroom.\n\nOtherwise, just sharpen your presentation skills, and try to sell yourself as best as possible.

Drink plenty of water.  \nDon't watch too much TV - your brain and the ability to think is like a muscle.  Use it or lose it.

One of the most sure way of increasing the percentage of brainpower you use (not neccesarry regarding to what we define as intelligence) is to use the age old technique of the East : Meditation. Performing Yoga under supervision, can also be very rewarding in this aspect. However, it has to be done carefully, as too much of either can have devastating results. So, good luck.

first thing is that you should develop interest in what you are studying. If we like what we are doing, we naturally tend to do it with concentration.\n\nOrganise your time well. Keep some time for play, TV, internet. Carefully divide your day into air-tight compartments. Dont think of other things when you are doing something.\n\nChoose a good (studious) friend circle. You will be inspired to study well when everyone around you studies well.\n\nAnd finally have a long term goal and always keep that in your mind. That will drive you to study well. \n\nYou can also try meditation techniques

I can see how desparate you are.\n\nHey I saw your message posted on too many message boards to ignore it any further.\n\nLet me tell you this......\n\nI am currently doing my bachelors in Engineering and I do know the position you are in.\n\nThere are several tips I could give you:\n\n1. First record your answers into a tape. "Listen to it when you are about to fall asleep". This helps a lot as the answer is subconciously loaded into the memory in the state of semi-sleep. You have to understand that this is effective(highly) but only in the state of semi-sleep. There is a great theory that a person obeys almost anything in the state of semi-sleep. That is the basis of hypnotics.\n\n2. Prepare your own notes for studying. It always helps a lot when you jog down the data to suit your needs. Say you could prepare separate notes for definitions, theorems etc.\n\n3. Have a "carry in the pocket note". This is not only useful for you now but for the rest of your life. You could have all math formulae or something very important like theorem statements(v.Important ones) You could just give them a glance while you are travelling or when you are bored etc. This is very helpful\n\nfor math practice is must\n\n4. After a month of this, write model tests. I suggest that you first get the Q's from the teachers but later you start preparing your own Q-papers. This helps improve your prediction skills and you will be able to understand the mentality of Q-paper setters. It is a very useful skill considering that you would like to be an engineer.\n\nFinally man have faith in yourself. That is the most important thing of 'em all.\n\nThere is this EQ-----> Emotional Quotient. Be less tensed as possible as it helps to increase your EQ. It is very important because it is very important to reproduce everything that you have studied.\n\nBest of luck
