classical music turned down real low helps my 13 yr old focus better. She dosen't really like it, but it keeps that part of her brain busy while using the part she needs.

For one thing, focus on what you want to achieve or what you are supposed to be doing at the moment. Eliminate all distractions.  Concentration is a discipline of the mind so it does take practice especially since we have so many distractions these days.  Try meditation to improve your concentration.

U must alays study with a clear mind and in an environment u can focus. Some people like to have a little soft music on the side to calm them down while others like total silence, u just choose what u prefer. Read as much as u can in 30-45mins and take a 5-10min break at all times, this helps so u dont lose yo concentration. To remember key points u must always have acronyms which are letters which represent a poi eg B- Be organised.

"My own study TIP that has always worked for me is to lock my self in the room and focus. With the only sound of me reading and no one bothering me, I can understand the reading a lot better. If I start thinking about something else I get up and eat something then I'll come back to it."\n\nMy study TIP is simple. I follow the survey technique in which I scan through the chapters first, then read and summarize. I usually find a place where it is quiet  (like the library, backyard or any corners of my house) and comfortable.\n\n I would like to recommend is to deal with anything that is getting in the way of your success. Say for example, you're trying to study but you keep thinking of something else. Then do what you have to do to deal with it and then get to studying with a cleared mind."\n\nthree simple steps in order to succeed in studying.\n1. Play some relaxing music (whatever music you enjoy listening to) before studying to clear my mind of everything.\n2. Concentrate on what I'm studying when I begin to study, and do that throughout the process of studying.\n3. Review it over orally to see if I actually remember what I studied, to see if I'm ready for that particular test.\nAlso, if the test is on Wednesday morning, I would study the night before, a few hours before I sleep. Since it would be fresh in my mind. Then an hour before the test, I will study for a second time just to make sure I'm completely ready. I've been doing this type of studying all my life, and it hasn't failed me. If this helps you, more power to you. If not, well hey everyone has their own methods of studying. Whatever works for you.\n\nBefore studying, I advise other students to eat a light snack, nothing heavy or else you'll be falling asleep from being too full. Also, it's very important to get rid of internal distractions (something that is bugging your head, i.e. making a phone call, chores, picking up a few things at the store)...do those things right away so that you'll be concentrating on your studies.

*well you should have your sched on how you going to manage your studies and all that crap...\n*well there was a study that eating foods rich in omega 3 gives you more concentration on your study...\n*sleep early so that you could easily retain what you have studied...\n*before sleeping take a cold shower... it really helps\n*oh yeah no phone, no net, no tv will be a help on your study, but i think few people can do this habit\n*most of the people say that it really helps that listening on their fav music give them more concentration on study, but actually it doesnt... in fact it will burden their brain more\n*try to study in front of a wall where you will not see anything but your WALL...

Here are some tips that work best for me.  Hopefully they will work for you too.\n\nIf you have one exam to study, divide the work up into small "chunks".  This will improve your chance of remembering the information.  Study for only about an hour at a time.  Often times if you study past an hour, the information will be a big blur and difficult to comprehend and remember.  You may always study more, but give yourself a break.\n\nIf you have more than one exam, follow the tips above.  Just make sure you are studing all of the subject areas everyday.\n\nHope that helps,\n\nAlex

If you believe the studies - your brain cannot remain focused for longer than 40 minutes at a time, needing a serious change in pace already after 20 minutes. So- take a break every 40 minutes and change your approach. Switch between reading for 20 minutes to memorizing, to creating little rhymes that help you memorize, to writing, etc. Change your approach every 20 minutes. Change your subject every 40 minutes

Well...best way to get better doing something is practice...but short of that, here are some tips.\nWhen you study, try and give yourself little breaks. Work for 15 min., do something else for 7. Repeat.\nMemorizing...think of something it relates to.\nWhen you need to remember something, think back to seomthing that happened in real life that relates/is similar.

Try not to study the same subject continuously.Keep getting up everytime for reasons like sip of water, tribbling basketball and in this way continue longer.Take care once you get up you come back soon to continue......\nCheck the level of pace you need to continue

Get some sleep. There is no point studying when you are sleepy, whatever you study will not stay in your brain. study when you wake up, the time you'll spend studying with a clear mind is much less and much more effective. Get a lot of vitamines, like orange juice, apricots, fruit in general. Don't drink too much coffe, it helps you stay up, but it doesn't help your mind to study better.

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.

Find your study style: some can study while watching TV, others cannot have distractions:...\n\nFind a place and designate it for studying.  Don't do anything else there.\nTake a break every 20 minutes.  Maybe 5 or 10 mins.  If you can have longer sessions, go ahead.\nFind the time of day you learn best.\nFind the main points, and memorize those first, then the details.

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!

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 :)

Meditation.\n\nThis can be the only solution to your problem. I have solved my problem with meditation. We forget advices very easily. If you keep taking people's advice about how to concentrate on your studies you will never come to any solution. You will just think like, ok! I will do this. Most probably, the next day you will forget because EVERYBODY hates to CHANGE unless THINGS CHANGE US. Very people knows how TO CHANGE THINGS.\n\nRemember! sometime THINGS chooses US and sometime WE CHOOSE THINGS. Which is better?\n\nI dont know.\n\nTry meditaion. Meditate yourself and self-talk or give auto-suggestion to yourself repeatedly and repeatedly.\n\nFor your reference, about how to meditate. Visit:\n\nwww.tm.org\nwww.silvamethod.com\n\nand some books on meditaion.\n\n\nMeditation is DOING something for improvement and listening to advice is trying to do something for improvement. Tell me which is better. Trying or just sit and start doing?\n\nTake action now.\n\nNow! go, do it!\n\nGoodLuck!
