I also have ADD, and during my finals last year, I was just like you.  I went to a very quiet place and brought a discman or mp3 player. The music calmed me, and at the same time it kept me from being distracted from other things around me. Don't place them over your ears, just turn the volume on max and set it down on the desk next to you.  Hope it helps.

Remember, tension roots from thought. When do you have thoughts? When you don't have anything to do. So stop thinking about your exams&#92;results. What's done is done.\nYou can take a vacation if possible. Go out with friends, watch movies. A yoga class can help. May be Swimming, Music lessons, musical instruments,dance lessons, anything that keeps you occupied. \nSince you have completed plus two, you can join some course of your interest which might be useful for your future.

hey try out these....\n1. try to study alone(no combine study)\n2. think of ur objective all the time.( what grades u want to        \n   achieve etc)\n3. avoid all other distractions (including ur friends,party                \n   etc.)\n4. if u really like the subject u r studying, concentration   \n   will come automatic (u will bw in a zone). SO TRY TO                  \n   ENJOY UR STUDY RATHER THAN LOOKING AT IT AS A HURDLE)\n5. still if u have problems with concentrating, well then..\n   \n6. good luck :)

study in the morning or after a good sleep. Your mind would be refreshed and that could help you study better. Don't be afraid. This will just make it harder to study.\nYou could also study bit by bit every day so that your memory would still be upto date with it's information. And that you don't have to study much when the exam comes.

You should try 'active study' methods.\nMake short notes and summaries as you read. This works for all subjects.\nRemember that you can only concentrate fully for between 30 and 40 minutes at a time and that the most productive time is the second hour of study.

Hey Sneha, I have exams too... whenever you feel really pressured, just remember that you're not the only one, there are lots of others taking exams too, and you're not alone. Take short breaks in between studying and do something else where you don't require much thought, even if it just means closing your eyes and relaxing for 10 mins. Eat and drink healthy. And last, but not least, remember that in the event that you don't do as well as you thought you would, it's not the end of the world. Don't let this thought stop you from working hard this time, but remember, there's always a next time! Good luck!

cant stick to one job- you may suffer from ADD-attention deficit disorder-or ADHD- attention deficit hyper-activity disorder- i was diagnosed with ADHD at age 50- a little late in life !! i was put on medication and it helped me focus much better, and helped me to finish tasks that i started, instead of leaving them un-finished !!!  you should check with a dr. and find out where you can be tested for ADD if this sounds like it could be a  possible problem of yours- i fit some of the overall characteristics of ADD and yet not others- so to be sure, i got tested--i was definitely ADD- other characteristics include being late often, interrupting others often, having trouble starting and finishing projects, etc., etc..i started life as a CPA and later changed to life insurance sales- i became an independent insurance broker for life, health, disablity, and annuities..i became an LUTCF & a CFP also- i am now retired- if i can be of further help to you-please holler back at me- i would be glad to answer any ?? you might have--good luck to you !!!

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!

Good Way to Concentrate is Put your self in a Study Enviroment Such as a libary i hear penut butter helps too or i heard of some kid wanting to cram for an exam so he got some adderall and he said it helped

Ha! I used to have that problem and you know what I did about it? I embraced it!\n\nSo what if you need a break every half an hour - take it. Take 5-10 minutes to get a drink, check your email, go to the toilet, walk the dog, answer some yahoo questions - whatever. Then back to study.\n\nLook at it this way. If you study for your half an hour and then need a break it means that from that time on your brain is not paying full attention. So walk away. When you come back you have had a short break, so you are feeling a little more refreshed. This makes you concentrate better for half an hour at least, and then go on another break.\n\nAsk yourself this. What is better? paying attention for 10 * 30 (5hrs) minute blocks with many breaks in between (total time=8hrs) or studying for 4 hours (paying FULL attention for 30-45 minutes, flipping the rest) , have a 15 minute break and then another 3.75 hours (total eight)\n\nYou need the breaks, and you will benefit from it. It will also help if you set deadlines like "I need to finish this paragraph in the next 10 minutes." Not only will this keep you on track, but come exam time, you will find that you will set a goal like "i need to get to question 10 before i rest" then be able to take a 5 minute breather not touching your pen and go back to it. Because you set a goal and a time limit, you will write faster to achieve this break time and so will be ahead of the game.\n\nIt worked for me, and many others i know - it was encouraged by my school even. Try it for a week - what have you really got to loose???

Speaking from experience, you just need to relax. I have a problem with test anxiety as well, and my brother, who is a very intelligent man told me to study, but don't wear myself out doing it. When you get tired, put the books down, and do something else. Take your mind off from it for a while, and when you get back to it, you will be able to understand it better. When you put your mind on overload, things get scrambled! Good luck! I hope you do well!

Do short study breaks if you are cramming for hours you will lose your concentration, get distracted and not be able to recall the info that you need. Don't study for more than 30 minutes at a time, then if it helps set a timer, then do like 5 minutes of cleaning, exercising, jump in the shower anything just don't read. Then go back and do more, you might try writing out information that you have trouble recalling. Find a study partner, make it fun. And yes you should take your time with studying just don't overdue it and get burnt out. Best of luck to you on your exams, also don't forget to eat a good dinner and get a good nights sleep the night before, eat breakfast the morning of (or lunch if its an afternoon class) that way you don't have a growling tummy to distract you.

I find making lots of notes helps. There are other ways - concept maps, diagrams, reading through your work, asking your teachers for practise exams, going through things with a friend so that if you've missed work you can help each other out. These are just a few examples, find one which works best for you. But don't forget thatwhile studying you should have a break every hour or so, or have an extra curricular activity outside of school so that you're not locked away studying all the time. Too much study can be hazardous to your health, breaks can help and keep you focused.

study a little bit each day.  If your exam is tomorrow, try studying the things you think are 1) hardest 2) most likely to be on the test

the best bet is to sit up front (as much fun as that isn't) and take a lot of notes. also try and ask as many questions as you can. those things always help to keep my attention.

Of course studying is important, but I bet you already know that!  Here are some other things that will help you out.\nDon't stress.  If you are stressed or nervous during the test, you will tend to make silly mistakes.  If you are well prepared just take the test and remind yourself that you did everything you could to prepare.\nFocus.  Make sure you are not distracted.  If there is noise distracting you (even something silly like the person next to you keeps breathing really loud), don't be afraid to ask a teacher if you can move.\nSleep.  If you study all night the night before, you will be too tired to remember and focus.\nEat.  If you have a good breakfast and drink water, it will improve your concentration.\nIf you really get nervous about tests, study ahead of time, and then the night before the test, don't study for it at all.  Let your mind focus on something else and relax before your big day!
