Assuming that you work long hours, I would try cutting the hours down at work. If this is impossible, I have a solution that may help. You need to keep your body temp down. If it is hot, put on the AC and dress in a tank top and shorts. If it is cold outside, turn the heat way down and open a window. Now, drink a lot of cold water. Keep a pitcher next to you. This will cause you to have to go to the bathroom more which will keep you alert. Keep away from snacks. Time yourself to study for 30 minutes per subject and then stop. Any more that this and it is too much info for you to remember in the morning. This will also keep you from burn out.

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!

wel....it sounds like you are lazy. im just being for real, if you want something bad enough you are gonna have to work at it or suffer the consequences. if being threatened to move ist motivation enough then nothing is...but lucky for you im lazy too so here are my study tips.\n\n* you retain best if you study RIGHT BEFORE you go to sleep, somehow sleeping locks it in your brain.\n* use index cards to right down the basic, important stuff and keep those with you so you can look at them during the day wherever you are\n* come up with memonic devices to help you study like associating things with things (like humours bone- funny- funny bone or pensicola, pepsi cola ect)\n* reward yourself so you will reach for it. I often say Ill give myself a new outfit, trip someowhere, whatever\n* record lectures on tape and when yo get home type out the important stuff\n*if you write down the notes in class, type out the important stuff on your computer when you get home, its like a review, it jogs your memory\n\ngood luck :)

Boyo- Its tough to realize at first..but as the study time comes to an end, u feel the kick and start studying on your own.. There is nothing you can do to force yourself study.. Even if you make a schedule - you wont be able to follow it.. If u open the books - u'd day dream..\n\nIt's natural and u will overcome this naturally.. All you have to do is worry..

You can do a lot of things. You can stay on the answer yahoo for some of the time, but sooner or later you will need to get off in order to get some work done. To make the day go faster, here at school, I go to sleep but I don't think that you are able to do that. I would read a book, believe it or not. Find a book and start reading it. You could make a new myspace web page. Anyways, this is some of the things that I would do.

I think there would be no need to study late nights if you dont accumulate your portions throughout the year and just 2-3 hours a day would do.But if there is no option...the best way to remain awake at night is to get some sleep in the afternoons.

Study in increments.  Spend 10 minutes, then take a break for a minute, then spend another 10 minutes, and so on.  Just like repetitions at the gym, study in "sets" and you will be more successful.  I also drink a soda (Coke or Pepsi) 20 minutes before a test.  For whatever reason, I remember more, after the soda.  Get plenty of sleep too.  You will not learn if you are tired!  You will spend more time thinking about sleep, rather than your studies!  Also, if you are laying in bed, unable to sleep, get up and study for another 10 minutes.

just yesterday, i sat for studies at 7:00pm and i got so absorbed that i sat till 12:15am. if u cant sit for longer than 45 min try listening to some music when u do your maths or some writing work. due to that you dont get bored studying as u have songs which u can listen. DOnT TRY THAT WHILE LEANING SOMETHING.

heehe, i just finished studying. first of all get off the pc, and turn any electornics off.  .get in your room and organise yourself. if you have a lot of time ahead of you take a small nap(10 minuts max) grab a bite, and then plant you butt on the ground/chair/bed/table whereever you like to study. and focus on you studies. you are going to study wether you like it or not. if you have a clock that tickes a lot put it away, and don't let anything disurbe you. ake sure to turn on your answering machine, and turn off ur cell-phone. and good luck on ur exam, if you want wake up at dawn and revise what you studied, but don't revise before the exam in half an hour.

Whatever you do, don't stay up all night before the exams. Make sure you get enough sleep. Focus on the things that you do not know but are not too complicated to learn before the exams, and learn those. Try to learn everything, even if you do not feel sure about it. Some tips for studying:\n-invite a friend over and quiz each other.\n-Use flashcards- they never fail.\n-Have somebody (parent, sibling...) quiz you while you exercise.\n-Make (or ask someone else to make) a small quiz for each subject, and take it until you get all of the answers right. If you are feeling nice, make copies and give them to your friends to help them study.
