Set goals... balance your time between study and social things.\n\nAlways have something to work towards.. an incentive to study. i.e after final exams im going to go on a holiday. that will motivate you to do well at school.

Hey,\nI will tell you.\n1. Attending all the lectures.\n2. Review what you learned by the end of that day. Otherwise you have to spent twice as much, if you leave it for next week.\n3. have fun! Study only when you are at school. At home only have fun.\n4. form study group, that helps very much when you discuss the topic with friends.\n5. after some time you will enjoy studying.\nThat's what i did, i finished my master's with 3.77/4 and my PhD so far, 4.0/4.0\nhope that helped

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.

If you lose your concentration in studies, something disturb is there in your mind. So, first you can find the solution for that, fix some commitment for that. Then you start the study. Take 10Mt's.break for every 30 to 45 Mt's between studies. Listen melodies music or meditation or magazine.

Establish priorities.\n\nHave a daily schedule as specific as you need it.  YOu might even need 5 minute chunks to start.\n\nHave a big master schedule for when assignments are due, appointments, tests, etc.\n\nDe-clutter your environment.   Often we are distracted and taken off task by "stuff" around us.  Try to keep things tidy. \n\nSet realistic short term goals for yourself.  Write them down.\n\nStop doing unnecessary stuff.  Sometimes we try to do too much.  But don't put off the hard stuff that really must be done - no time like the present - get it done now.\n\nPlan your day.\n\nAsk for help when it is reasonable, but don't expect too much of others.\n\nAs much as possible do your study in day light hours.  Research suggests taht one hour of study in day light is equal to about an hour and a half of study after dark.\n\nTake short breaks.  Generally marathon work sessions don't work for most people.  But make sure you end your break on time.  \n\nThis one might sound silly, but get enough rest.\n\nDo the most difficult things when you are most alert, not when you are tired.\n\nDo the most important stuff first.\n\nSchedule some exercise and relaxation time everyday.  It will energize you.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck!

Try to focus on something healthy like jogging, studying, cooking, reading.  Keeping a journal also helps.

can u tell me what faculty or field are u studying , i may be able to guide u exactly then.\n\nWell for the time being i say is \n1) prepare a timetable for urself like what time u work , study, go out , etc. \n2)  then try to fix the timings for ur subjects of study in those timings.\n3) never take up one subject only , what i suggest is take two or three subjects at a time , i mean that for eg subjects A, B  AND C. so divide the timings as daily i ll do 2 hrs for subject A , 3hrs for subject B as it is quiet vast and 1 hr for subject C.\n4) prepare a schedule of the course u want to finish every week on sundays , and every saturday night check how much of the target u have achieved ,\n5) give some good amount of time for sleep daily atleast 6 hrs.\n6) give atleast 2 hrs daily for leisure activities like playing, tv, going out, etc.\n7) MOST IMPORTANT "BE FOCUSSED ON YOUR GOAL "\n       WELL THESE ARE SOME TIPS,\n       ALL THE BEST, TAKE CARE , BYE

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.

Are you interested?\n\nIf you can answer this question honestly, then you will get the answer to your question.  Concentration is directly related to interest, if you are interested in doing something you concentrate else you are distracted.\n\nEven then try doing these things if possible:\nWhenever you feel your concentration wavering, get up from your studies move away for approx. 5 mins and come back.  In between don't go and watch TV.\nFeel your eyes are drooping, splash cold water on them a few times but don't wipe immediately.\nDon't study at a stretch, never good, you will not be able to retain anything.\nAlways have a settled time and place if possible, coz "Practice Makes Perfect".  Your mind and body need to get used to routine, and then it will be almost automatic.  You won't need to get up to study, it will happen automatically.\n\nLast but not the least, don't try doing everything now at the last moment, prioritise your workload and then do it.\n\nFor your future do pranayam and dhyana, they will really help you. Trust me.

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...

the easy answer is, plan ahead and don't leave all your studying to the last minute :-)\n\nIf you don't have other classes to work around, here is what I would suggest:\n\nT=9:00      Wake up, get ready for the day\nT=9:30    Grab breakfast to eat while you study\nT=9:45    Study for an hour\nT=10:45   Get up, stretch, use the bathroom\nT=11:00   Study for another hour\nT=12:00   Check email, go chat with friends, and otherwise take a break.  Get some lunch.\nT=12:30   Go to a different place to study.  Try the library, or a commons room.\nT=12:45   Study a new subject for two hours (if you have more than one to work on).\nT=2:45   Get up and find somewhere new to study you haven't been to yet today.  Grab a snack on the way.\nT=3:00   Study another two hours\nT=5:00   Break!  Spend an hour or two with friends, playing a game, or basically de-stressing\nT=6:00   Eat dinner, start gearing up to study again\nT=6:45   Make your way back to somewhere comfortable to study\nT=7:00  Settle in and study as long as you can stand\nT=10:00ish Get up, check email, move around, head back to your room if you're not there already\nT=10:30ish Bring your most boring study material to bed with you.  Read it until you fall asleep.  You'll either get lots read (good) or get plenty of sleep (also good) :-)\n\nThis assumes you have a full day, but this gives you a good 11+ hours of studying, and still time to eat, talk with your friends, and generally not go crazy.  It also gives you at least 9 hours of sleep at night, which will really help!\n\nStudying in multiple places throughout the day helps keep you from getting bored (and sleepy) while you work.  Also, if always study the same subjects in the same rooms, it really helps your brain absorb the information faster (strange, but true!).  If your test involves remembering a bunch of facts (like who painted each of these pictures, when, what techniques did they use, etc), study each thing (painting, in this case) in a different room.  Then when you get to the test you can see a painting and remember "Oh, I read that one while sitting in the stairwell.  That means it was painted in X year by so-and-so."  It helps you keep the information from getting all mixed up in your head!

Do not study for all of your classes at the same time.\nFirst, pick the class that is either most difficult (or the one where your work is due soon) and concentrate only on that class. \nThen, make sure to take a break for awhile before studying the next subject. It takes a little bit of time for you to clear your head and refocus on a new subject so take that time to eat a snack, phone a friend, or check your email. Then when you feel "refreshed", tackle the next subject.\n\nI hope this helps. It works for me.

Get a good sleep/rest. Exercise and eat good. Know you own bodies peak alertness time of the day, and lowest/lagging time of the day. A good location in the house or at a library( somewhere that you can avoid distractions). Teaching tapes of a subject are good, even when you fall asleep listening to them. I would not suggest eating a big meal before study. I would not suggest studying while laying in bed or having inadequate lighting in your chosen space to study. After reading material for study purposes, go over your notes every day, as if you were summarizing it, to keep it fresh in your mind. \n  If it is a subject that you can apply to your life, or make a real case scenario out of it, then by all means do so. I would not try to experiment with any chemicals to "boost" concentration. That would be the start of a downhill tragedy. Group study is helpful for some if you have serious people in the study ( I would not recommend a boyfriend or girlfriend).No distractions!

If you believe the studies - your brain cannot remain focused for longer than 40 minutes at a time, needing a serious change in pace already after 20 minutes. So- take a break every 40 minutes and change your approach. Switch between reading for 20 minutes to memorizing, to creating little rhymes that help you memorize, to writing, etc. Change your approach every 20 minutes. Change your subject every 40 minutes
