Each time your mind wanders, make a tally in the appropriate section. Keep a card for each day. As your skills build, you will see the number of tallies decrease.\n\nMaximize your energy level\n\nWhen is your energy level at its highest? When are your low energy times? Study your most\ndifficult courses at your high-energy times. Sharpest early in the evening? Study your most difficult course then. Later in the evening? Work on your easier courses or the ones you enjoy the most. Most students put off the tough studies until later in the evening when they become tired, and it is more difficult to concentrate. Reverse that. Study hard subjects at peak energy times; easier ones later. This alone can help to improve your concentration.\n\nVisualize\n\nAs an exercise before you begin studying; think of those times when concentration is not a problem for you--no matter what situation. Now try to feel or imagine yourself in that situation. Recapture that experience immediately before your studies by placing yourself in those moments. Repeat before each study session.\n\nHow to Improve Your Concentration\n\nLearning to concentrate on reading and studying requires some practice. Concentration doesn't just happen as soon as you sit down to do some serious studying. You already know the requirements for your individual study environment. Now all you need is concentration!\n\nRead "How To Improve Your Concentration" to find some techniques to develop your concentration level for peak performance during your study time. After reading the article, you should be able to:\n\nIdentify four common concentration problems;\n\nExplain five techniques for action to reach the goal of peak concentration;\n\nApply three strategies to combat annoyance during study periods.\n\nHow To Improve Your Concentration\n\nStudents can improve study concentration and study ability by paying attention to the conditions of their study environment. On the other hand, concentration will be limited if study habits are not effective.\n\nYour ability to concentrate on a particular lesson depends on (1) how interested you are and (2) how effective your study methods are. Your interest in one assignment will be different from your interest in others; your interest level may even change during that lesson. Because of the difficulties of your motivation while you do your homework, here is the key to effective study: Depending on your interest level at a particular time of study, adapt your study techniques to strengthen your concentration when it is weak.\n\nWhat are the common reasons students lack interest or lose interest during study time?\n\nCommon Concentration Problems\n\nDuring a period of study, there are four times you may have problems with concentration. These are common times which challenge most of the students and you will often have to strengthen your concentration when they happen.\n\nWhen you are "warming up" to study, distractions will interrupt your attention.\n\nWhen you have been concentrating hard on your studying, you may suddenly become annoyed with the assignment.\n\nAfter a long stretch of continuous studying, you gradually become tired and your study results decrease.\n\nWhen you have come to the point of "diminishing returns" and you are losing mental effectiveness, exhaustion takes over.\n\nWhat do you think the student can do to improve concentration in these four examples? Here is an illustration that represents a student's ups and downs of concentration during a study period of over 2 1/2 hours.\n\nWarm-Up: Student should spend time in conditioning one’s own mind for studying.\n\nAnnoyance: After 35 minutes of intense concentration, the student's attention starts to weaken. Break time! Two 5-10 minutes breaks helps to get the concentration level back up.\n\nDiminishing Returns: The third time the student was annoyed by studying, but it was not possible to reach the same peak level of concentration.

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

Always go to class.  Be there early and stay late.  Sit in the front.  Ask questions.  Be interested.  Form study groups with other students.  Go to class every time.  Do the assignments early then check them over.  Start on assignments immediately when you get them.  Be friends with others who are trying to excel in class.  Do extra research on subjects that interest you.  Look at the syllabus and do all the reading up front.  Then read it again just before the time you are supposed to have it read.  Do your work neatly and check it over.  This is from a former college professor.

When you study break it into chunks. example: read one paragraph at a time and take a break, and/or take a five minute break every twenty minutes.  This is a fool proof plan I know from experience.

Mainly by dividing what you need to study, and most importantly by being constant. \nUsually you must study your subjects on a daily basis, no later than 2 days after you had your lecture, because that way you remember the comments either from you or your classmates or your teacher. \n\nThe key to concentrate is to pick bite pieces of study. If you study daily you'll only have to go through a couple of pages and you'll have a better chance of really understanding what you're reading, which helps you build confidence, which in turn will encourage you to keep that pace. \n\nAlso remember, you must know where your attention is at it's best. Usually it's between 10 and 2. And be aware of your limitations, start by focusing on a single paragraph, put all your effort to concentrate on the task at hand. Then slowly expand that timeframe, it's all a matter of practice. \n\nGood luck!

The best way is to study at least 12 minutes a day from day one of the class. \n\nTake good notes. Make index cards for vocabulary words. Study the reviews at the end of each chapter.

Sleep 8 hours\nStudy every day.\nAvoid Mental Exhaustion. Take short breaks often when studying. Before a test, have a rested mind. When you take a study break, and just before you go to sleep at night, don't think about academics. Relax and unwind, mentally and physically. Otherwise, your break won't refresh you and you'll find yourself lying awake at night. It's more important than ever to take care of yourself before an exam! Eat well, sleep, and get enough exercise.\n\nDecide what to study (reasonable task) and how long or how many (chapters, pages, problems, etc.). Set and stick to deadlines. \n\nDo difficult tasks first. For procrastination, start off with an easy, interesting aspect of the project. \n\nHave special places to study. Take into consideration lighting, temperature, and availability of materials. \n\nStudy 50 minutes, and then take a 10 minute break. Stretch, relax, have an energy snack. \n\nAllow longer, "massed" time periods for organizing relationships and concepts, outlining, and writing papers. Use shorter, "spaced" time intervals for rote memorization, review, and self-testing. Use odd moments for recall/review. \n\nIf you get tired or bored, switch task/activity, subject, or environment. Stop studying when you are no longer being productive. \n\nDo rote memory tasks and review, especially details, just before you fall asleep. \n\nStudy with a friend. Quiz each other, compare notes and predicted test questions.

divide what you need to study; into those you can just read through, and those you need more time to get into your head, into subjects or time/days you have...create a timetable and stick to it as much as you can because that can really help...

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...

Be neat when you write.  Use complete sentences.  THINK and show it.  As for study, do it in smaller chunks, like several different times set aside with other activity in between.  Stay at it consistently.

usually what I do is go through the main points of each chapter as well as key words and write them down as questions on note cards.  Then have the answer on the other side.  Go through all the cards twice.  Then re-read all of those key words and their definitions as well as the key points in context, to myself, then out loud.  It not only stimulates your brain's listening but its vision as well. Then when you see that word or phrase a little light goes off in your head that you remember that and it all comes back to you.  Thats usually how I ace all my tests. Good Luck!
