Repetition, recitation and write waht you think is important. Most importantly though is to take a ten minute break every thirty minutes. (your brain can only absorb so much new information in a given amount of time) Don't do anything just sit there. What you want is for what you are studying to take hold in your long term memory. If you watch TV or talk to someone the new stimuli will push out the old stimuli (what you've been studying), and come tommorrow you will remember more of what you watched on TV and talked about.

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!

mental concentration to perform well

Set aside a certain amount of time each day to review the material from class.  Re-read and highlight your own notes for main ideas and major details.  If you don't have notes, but you have a textbook, you can skim each chapter and take brief notes now.  Some people work well in study groups where others can explain concepts that you may not understand, but some people can't focus that way.  Learn what is best for you by trying a variety of strategies--with or without music/people/etc.  It also depends what you're studying, but having someone quiz you out loud can help if you need to learn vocabulary.  Good luck!

Hmmm... it almost seems as if you're asking two separate questions.\n\n1) How can you improve your concentration?\n2) How can you remember the information you just learned/studied?\n\nTo improve your concentration, you first have to assess whether you study better with noise or without it.\nIf you study better with noise, maybe you could put on some music (probably instrumental so that you don't lose concentration when you start belting out the lyrics when your favorite song comes on), OR you can try studying in a public place like a coffee house or a bookstore.  Studying with noise may be beneficial because you must absolutely force yourself to hone in on your work and studies.  In other instances, it can be distracting, especially if you're popular and everyone in the store stops by to talk to you.\nHowever, if you study better without noise, then find a quiet place, like a library (but I bet you already knew that).\n\nAlso, if you have a cell phone, turn it off.  Learning your stuff does take some sacrifice.  But hey, you can reward yourself later by calling a friend (or your girlfriend, if you have one) or by playing video games.  Whatever helps you relax.  And you'll feel better afterwards knowing that you DESERVE that break because you've studied/worked so hard.\n\nAnother trick you can do is use a timer.  If you feel that you have an attention span of 50 minutes, then set that timer for 50 minutes, and work for 50 minutes straight without ANY distractions (phone, getting up to get a drink, bathroom, going to work out, etc.).  If you feel like you can go on for longer or want to gradually make it longer, then set it for 70 minutes next time... then 90 minutes next time, and so on.  Just make sure that you take a break.  Your brain can only hold so much at one time before it explodes.\n\nFor the second question, let me ask you this: do you study better in groups or by yourself?\nIf you study better in groups, make sure that you study on your own BEFORE you join a study group, just so that you can get the most out of your group meeting.  That way you'll have specific questions ready to ask your classmates.\nIf you study better by yourself, then try devising mnemonics (tricks to help your memory).  Instead of explaining it here, you can check out this link: http://www.mindtools.com/memory.html.\n\nHope that helped in some way.  and good luck.

depends when you ned to concentrate. in the exam itself or in the study leading up to it?  in the exams take a bottle of water and a packet of smarties (chocolates) and get into a routine...take a sip of water, eat a smartie and answer a question.  and if ur having trouble concentrating while studying turn off the computer. they're the worst things along with TV's to make u not concentrate.  sit down at a desk with only a lamp and the stuff you want to study and a drink of water, and make sure there's nothing remotely interesting to look at in the room. nothing. make sure ur warm but not too warm and you have everything you ned to keep going for a while, and sit down and do it. stop procrastinating!

My best trick when I was in college was to study one thing for 15 minutes at a time, take a 2 minute break and then start a new subject, cycling though everything till I was done.. that way my attention span didn't wear out in time for me to not grasp what I was studying and the small breaks helped get me refreshed for the next subject.\nGood luck!

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

Take a short break. Walk in the garden. Take a few deep breaths and you will be ready to study more. God luck with studying. It is not that bad!

complete concentration (focus)

I understand completely! The best way is to manage your time efficiently. When you get home from school set and follow a schedule. For example, give yourself a half hour to get a snack and to situated yourself. Next begin with the subject that will require the most concentration and effort. don't work for hours straight because it'll increase your chances of getting distracted. Work in hour increments and reward yourself by allowing ten minute breaks in between. Make sure that when you do homework and study that your t.v's are off radios are off and there's quite so you can concentrate. If home is took hectic try the school or your local library, the setting of your study area is crucial. If you're not one to study in dead silence fine, just make sure it's comfortable and that you can actually focus and get work done in a timely manner. This way if you get all your homework done right away you will be able to sleep easy at night without having to worry if something didn't get finished and you will have time to relax and watch your favorite shows. Just remember, set up a schedule that will make the best of your time and relaxation is only a few homework problems away.

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!

I´m a PhD student and I still have that same problem. What I´ve found to work for me (kind of) is to study in spurts. If your reading, don´t try to read the whole chapter, go for one or two sections, stop and then go back. If your doing exercises, pick 3 or 4 stop and then get back. Gradually you´ll be able to go longer (specially as your deadlines get shorter).\nAnd above all, don´t log on to Yahoo! Answers while you study.
