Pay attention in class!  This is the most important thing you can do.  Ask questions when you don't understand something.  Also, review your notes everyday.  (I mean everyday.)  If you find something you have a question on, make a note of it and ask about it. Study groups may help you.  If so, ask around class and see if anyone is interested in joining you. Getting a 4.0, for most people, takes a lot of dedication.  Good luck.

What methods can I use to prepare for tests?\nOrganization is very important when you have a great deal of information to study. I recommend these methods: \n\nReview your old tests. Make corrections if you have not already done so to avoid repeating your mistakes. \nGo over your class notes. If you do not understand something you have written, or if you have "holes" in your notes, ask your teacher for help. \nTry to anticipate the kinds of questions your teacher will ask on the test. Make out some sample questions or even entire tests. \nReview the chapters in your textbook that the test will cover. Pay particular attention to boldface terms, chapter summaries, and questions in the text. Most important of all is the recommendation that you understand there is no easy way to prepare for this kind of major test. After all, the time you spend in preparing should pay off when you do well on the test. \nSet aside time each day to work on your subjects. Even if you are all caught up, spend the time to go over notes or your textbook. \nTell your teacher that you would like to talk about your progress in class, and ask for suggestions on how you can do better. \nGo to the library and check out books that are on the same topic you are studying in class. \nPay attention in class no matter what is going on around you. This will be hard, but if you can concentrate on what your teacher is saying you will learn the facts and skills that you will find later in tests. Keeping up with homework and participating in class are very important. \nAs for tests, here are a few suggestions to help you: \n\nTalk with your teachers about your concerns. They really want you to do well and are more than willing to help! \nWhat type of test is most difficult for you? Do you do better on essays than you do on multiple choice questions? Decide which type of test gives you the most problems. Then you can learn techniques for taking that kind of test. \nAre you studying effectively for your exams? Here are some ideas that will make a difference. \nMake sure you know what material will be covered on the exam. There is nothing worse than studying for hours only to find out you were doing the wrong chapters. Go over your notes. Do not wait until the last minute to study. Try to tie all your information into a big picture in your head. Visualize information. Get a good sleep the night before, and eat a nourishing breakfast. When you first sit down to a test, start answering something, anything, immediately. Once you start, you will be on a roll. Do not get discouraged!\n\n\nOR\n\n\nGo to a nice, clean, neat desk in your room. If you have paper junk and leftover pizza slices on your desk, studying will not be the biggest problem on your mind. \nMake sure that you have all these study supplies: a pencil, a notebook, books to study, and good old-fashioned silence. Unless you're completely positive you work better with music, turn off the stereo. Focusing is hard enough without Beyonce telling you "you make me lose my breath". \nGet out your pencil, notebook, and book to study. Brace yourself. \nOpen the notebook and book you are studying. \nRead the chapter or whatever you have to study in your book. Concentrate. \nWhile you are reading you want to make notes of the little things. Make it short enough so that you can study it. Make short little breaks now and then (think half an hour of studying= 5 minute break) unless you're cramming, and in that case, good luck to you. \nGet a friend, Mom, Dad or someone to test you on what you have just read and studied. A key here would be to make sure that the person has a fair amount of patience. \nDo this every night until the day of the test/quiz. Depending on what you're studying and how much time you have, give yourself assigned time slots. \n\n\n\nTips \nYou need peace and quiet for all the steps above (or at least, they greatly HELP). \nYour attitude greatly helps the outcome of your study

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.

1/  Make crib notes of important points to remember...these are good in jostling your memory...\n\n2/  After an hour of study...take a practise test on that subject/chapter...even if it is an old test...this breaks the monotomy of just reading and helps you see what testers would be looking for...so you know what to retain and what is okay to "know broadly"\n\n3/  Mix up your studying with discussion groups with your friends...be serious about it though....agree to read on a chapter and meet and discuss....you will actually remember more if you make the subject/material "come alive". Also a great way to learn difficult material....\n\n4/  Study early in the morning when you are fresh and likely to remeber more then spend the afternoon doing soemthing else....practise tests, discussion groups or just relaxing.

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!

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.

I make a plan. I find out how many days I have avaliable to study in and how many books/ pages have to be read, and then I make a plan, a realistic one, where you have to do more or less the same amount of reading every day - and then I try to keep the plan, that's the hard part ;-) \n\nOh, and when studying, I turn off the computer, the TV, the lot - and try to concentrate. Do take notes. Write questions for yourself. Find the answers later (or ask a friend or the teacher). If you have to learn something by heart, write cue words down, have them hanging around the house (one on the fridge, one in the bathroom - whereever). That way you can practice many times during the day. And it isn't as obnoxious as it might sound + it works...\n\nGood luck with the exams.

There are many techniques.  One of the most important is to study daily.  Spend some time studying every subject every day.\n\nSee some of the many, many Internet sites.

Find ways to incorporate motion into your studying (writing, flashcards, etc.).\n\nGet a board game like trivial pursuit, monopoly, etc., make new cards with the information you need to learn, and play the game, drawing one card each turn and answering it before you get to move your piece.\n\nTo memorize lists, go get a basketball, and bounce the ball. For each bounce, say one item on your list.\n\nTo remember and analyze overall concepts, find a way to apply them around your house (especially for science). For social studies, find something you can do that is close to what the historical figures did (but safer), and do it while thinking about them.

Study everyday with someone and study only some each time.  Then practice applying the skills or write all the facts down in color(studys show that you remember things better when you write in color)

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
