Well study like you always do (unless you have bad study habits then change them)get your rest(if your tired you won't think properly)and there are some good site with tips like the ones below.

Do something else, anything else that gets your mind off school for a while...a few minutes, a few hours...a day if you can afford it. Come back to it with a fresh mind. I never was able to learn anything by forcing it...taking breaks are essential for me and I think you would feel better too. \n\nAlso, if you are just bored to death by the subject, go look around at some other resources (books, internet) that talk about the subject. Everyone likes a different way to learn something and maybe you are getting frustrated from the method of which you have to learn. You might find that a different way something is explained could help. Or perhaps by a diagram, brainstorming, outline, who knows, a cartoon may help. One of the first classes I took in college was about the way people like to learn and everyone has their own way to understand something best. :)

No one ever wants to study.  Your best bet would be to study with a group, read out loud, or break it up and study for like 15 minutes and take a 5 minute break.  If you try to study for say an hour, you're not going to keep anything in your head because since you don't want to study, you won't be paying attention, and you'll only be wasting your time.

im 16 and so far these habits have really helped me concentrate; and by concentrating you can get your work done in half the time. sit at a tidy desk. make sure the area is well-lit, and sit straight on ur chair. dont play any music etc, and try to concentrate as hard as you can without daydreaming. you should hopefully feel better about studying. :)

Studying is hard for even those of us that like to study.  If its a class you are bored with, then try this.  Make yourself study, with the promise of a "personal reward"  Make sure the tv and stereo is off so you can concentrate.  Set your self a time limit, cramming just doesnt work.  Set a two hour deadline, and if you are still not comfortable with the results, set it aside for a bit, and go back to it.  Once you have taken the test, and passed, as we all know you will, reward yourself with something you dont do often but enjoy.

Cant concentrate on studies. And by the time you want to study, you will be very tired. All you think is about the pay and you wont have interest in studies.

I guess you are tensed about your exams and you have a lot of portion to cover.\n\nFirst relax. \n\nThen plan.\n\nDont dedicate every waking hour of yours to study.  Fix a few hours.  Start with may be two hours and then increase the time as you gain concentration and confidence.\n\nSee where you stand with each of your subjects or papers.\n\nFor the first few days try studying something is a little easy....it helps in two ways....you will finish  studying for that particular paper and you will gain some confidence to tackle the more challenging ones.\n\nTry not to have any distractions while your studying...like TV or taking calls during the period you study.\nAsk you family members not to disturb you during the time you have fixed for studying.\nTry sticking to the same hours everyday for studying.\n\nAnd also try using the same place everyday for studying. ( Until you find a corner in your room where you feel you could concentrate better, keep trying various corners,chairs etc.,)\n\nIf you like you can try having coffee or tea to stimulate you mind. (only if you are already used to having them...sometimes drinking coffee might give you headaches)\n\nJust before you start studying, light a candle and just keep watching the movements in the flame.  Try not to think of anything else and just keep looking at it ...may be for 2 to 5 minutes.  Then blow it off and start studying.  This might help to clear you mind and ready it for studying.\n\nWhen you start to study, if you feel you are not concentrating,  start writing a few sentences you are reading...the ones you feel are important or the ones that strike to you....slowly you will start concentrating.  Also these things that you write down sometimes get imprinted in your memory.\n\nI hope these tips help you.  There is no such thing as you cannot study...keep trying and you will be able to.\n\nGood Luck

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.

the best thing I can tell you to do is to find something else to distract you (like the fear of failure). But seriously, I don't think you should act on your urges; just do something else while you're studying like work out or listen to music...that way you can keep your mind off women and sex, better still, study with somebody else...that way if your mind wanders they can stop you and quiz on the material...best of luck on your exam

Procrastination is the problem here my friend...\nWe all do that. We put-off studying till the 11th hour and then end up having to work on loads of stuff. At this point, we get scared and our heart fills with feelings of frustration, giult, & failure.\nHere's are a few references that might help...I was a chronic procrastinator...I would be scared to study. Now i am slowing getting the confidence.\nREMEMBER: There is NO substitute for hard work\nBest of Luck!!!!

Concentrating and Reading\n\nIt is often difficult to concentrate during your studies. Here are some techniques that many students have found helpful. \nAsking Yourself Questions \nGetting the Most from Your Reading \nRead the Ideas \nAsking Yourself Questions\nThe key to maintaining focus is to stop periodically and ask yourself questions, such as \nHow does this relate to what I already know? \nIf this is true, what else follows? \nWhat else could these facts mean? \nWhat assumptions are being made? \nWhat's the evidence for this? \nCan I think of a good example of this? \nWhat are the unique points of this? \nGetting the Most from Your Reading\nCheck off (with a light pencil mark) each paragraph that you completely understand. If you start to get lost in the reading, you will know exactly where: just after the last check! \nIf a section is too difficult for you, try reading in a whisper. Hearing what we read is like reading it a second time. \nSimilarly, it is good to stop regularly and summarize out loud what you have just read. \nTry to link new information with the information you already know. Ask yourself, ``How do I already know this?'' You can also ask yourself questions such as the focus questions above. Active linking creates powerful memories. \nTake a few seconds to visualize what you have just read. \nDon't forget to jot down key words and concepts. If you read, `rite, and recite (``3R''), you've got a better chance of retaining crucial information. \nAfter taking a short break from studying, and before you start up again, take a few minutes to review the information you have just learned. This will give you a sense of progress and motivate you to continue on. \nRead the Ideas\nWhen you are reading \nStop at the end of each \nParagraph \nPage \nMain Section \nClose your book \nRecall the ideas from memory \nRecite the ideas out loud in your own words \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\naugustine@columbia.edu\nLast update: February 4, 1996

1.) Get in a study group. In college, most successful students study in groups, but in high school, it's rarely done. Group studying allows each person in the group to learn from the other persons in the group. There are 2 facets to this:\na.) If you know something, you can pass it on. Better yet, by teaching a skill that you've mastered (or are mastering), you help keep yourself sharp and help remember the skill.\nb.) If you are having trouble, the rest of the group can share the approaches that helped them understand the problem.\n\n2.) If your still having trouble, consider hiring a tutor, either for yourself, or to work with your group. \n\n3.) Get sleep. Get 8 hours of sleep a night except in rare circumstances. Losing sleep will invariably make it harder for you to learn and remember - studies show that your brain needs sleep to help it process and permanently learn new information learned during the day.\n\n4.) Don't spend too long on one thing. If you're going to study, limit sessions to 2 hours, then go do something else for an hour. Exercise or physical activity is actually a very good way to break up study sessions.\n\n5.) Talk to your teachers, and see if they can't either give you extra help, or barring that, ask if you they can provide you with pointers.\n\n6.) Try the Cornell Note Taking method. See sources.

Yes try studying by doing an activity.  For example, instead of just studying the book or your notes, try to outhink your teacher and creat a test for yourself.   Make it the hardest test that you can!  Or, write an outline of the chapters and notes and try to blend them together.    \n\nJust the act of writing the material down again will help you learn it.  And it will relieve the boredom.  Good luck!

Try not to study the same subject continuously.Keep getting up everytime for reasons like sip of water, tribbling basketball and in this way continue longer.Take care once you get up you come back soon to continue......\nCheck the level of pace you need to continue
