try this and don't laugh. my grandma told me she read this and it helped her alot. i was doing it for a while but I kept forgeting to do it lol. all you do is tell yourself "my memory is getting better." just like that like 10-15 times a day. "my long term memory is getting better" "i am remembering things more." its really easy and for some reason it works. this can apply to other things too. Try it out. what harm can happen. enjoy. as for studying i can't help you with that one. I have ADD and it kills me to study because I just can't do it.

Concentration Techniques\n\n1. Jot down things that are on your mind before you study, then set this list to the side. Add to it anything that distracts you as you are studying. Take care of the list later.\n\n2. Study at the same time each day. A regular schedule can help you frame this as “study time”.\n\n3. Set a timer for an hour, don't allow yourself to stop studying until it goes off.\n\n4. Take breaks. A three minute break for every 30 minutes of study is a good guideline. Take a longer break after 90 minutes.\n\n5. Set goals for your session that are realistic (number of problems to solve, pages to read, etc.) When you have met one of your study goals, reward yourself with a short break. Then, return to your study area.\n\n6. Study in an area away from distractions such as a library, study lounge, or an empty classroom.\n\n7. Make sure you have everything that you need before you begin.\n\n8. Make sure your environment is conducive to studying, no TV, no telephone, no roommate, no boyfriend/girlfriend.\n\n9. Make studying an active process; take notes and make review sheets. Intersperse different kinds of study into one session, e.g. reading, writing, taking notes, memorizing, etc.\n\n10. Identify how what you are studying is relevant to your life. Draw connections between things you already know.\n\n11. Insure that you are sleeping enough, eating well, and getting regular exercise. Your mind will be more alert, and you will be less likely to fall asleep or daydream.\n\nGOOD 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.

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

Simply put, just memorize more and more often. Look at something every day for 30 mins and chances are, you will remember it.\n\nYou can also use visual cues to memorize something. For example, if you have to go golfing, out to dinner, and buy a hat, you might think about a guy wearing a hat, swinging a golf club, with a piece of food in his mouth, then you'll remember all three.\n\nAlso, understanding is an important part. If you understand what a definition means, then you'll remember it better. Write down that definition and say it aloud just as often as you read it, and you'll remember 3x better than if you had just scanned it over.\n\nAs for diet, it doesn't really matter. Try to eat something healthy, that will get the body fuels pumping. Plenty of sleep, and you'll remember.

To increase your brains memory capacity you could try exercising it. Read a page of a book over & over untill it sticks, just like actors do with a script. Or memorise your supermarket receipt everytime you go shopping.\nFish oils also help. You can get fish capsules(omega 3) from any health shop/ supermarket/ pharmacy.

your mind,  like your body need exercise to function well. a few way to exercises your mind is to some crossword, puzzle, or play common games like solitaire, or chess to sharp your mind. keep on adding, multiplying,and subtracting. Do not depend always in calculator. A least once a week memorize a poem, or joke or a psalm. This will help to keep in mind in shape, and will increase your brain power in time. Learn to think inventively. Let ideas  come forth. A good hint is to think like a child. They think with creativity., wonder and curiosity; allow yourself to daydream,as this will increase your brain power and keep your sharp mind. Do not limit yourself being a one type of person. be many persons! Think as many as ways as you can. keep a pen an a paper in every room of your environment so that when you think an idea  you can jot it down immediately. Do not afraid to making a mistake. Nobody is perfect, and never will be.LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. Do not afraid to a new things. Trying new things let your mind wonder and lets your creativity comes out, and everything that you have practiced will be shown. Talking to your self make it sound silly, but it works!It is a very good memory aid, to help to find something when it is lost etc. Keep closed watch of upcoming events or family gets together. discuss it with family and friends.Tension can interfere with memory, so learn to relax.This will help you think clearly. Good nutrition can also keep the sharp mind. Remember name as many name as you can, and put a face along with a name. this will help your brain power improve. Do not drink to much alcohol, this impairs memory. depression is often a cause of a memory loss. If you depress a medical advice and attention. To spur a creativity talk to encouraging, not discouraging people. The best thing to remember  and live by is to increase your memory and your mind. brainstorm, and write things down as you think of them. study new subject and languages. before bed is good time to do this.Relax, this also need to increase your brain power.read a book, reading helps the mind and memory. Physical exercises is also very good  for the mind. Take a walks. take a new hobby. Have a place to write your yearly, weekly and daily goals. work on and accomplishing them. BRAIN POWER CAN INCREASES AS YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES INCREASE. DO NOT DEPEND ON OTHER PEOPLE, OR ITEMS SUCH AS CALCULATOR. KEEP YOUR MIND SHARP.

Keeping a regular time everyday for studying is a good idea. In that time keep a specific time period for a subject you need to improve in. Practice questions of that subject everyday and read up lesson everyday. Keep a timetable so that in week aside from homework you can study the subjects. For exmaple, keep a day for studying biology, another day for geography etc. It will help you. \nAlso I would recommend a meditation, it helps improve concentration. Sit straight and comfortably, focus your breathing, breathe deep hear the sound of your breath. Do this for 5 to 10 mins. It'll help. Good luck!

Establish priorities.\n\nHave a daily schedule as specific as you need it.  YOu might even need 5 minute chunks to start.\n\nHave a big master schedule for when assignments are due, appointments, tests, etc.\n\nDe-clutter your environment.   Often we are distracted and taken off task by "stuff" around us.  Try to keep things tidy. \n\nSet realistic short term goals for yourself.  Write them down.\n\nStop doing unnecessary stuff.  Sometimes we try to do too much.  But don't put off the hard stuff that really must be done - no time like the present - get it done now.\n\nPlan your day.\n\nAsk for help when it is reasonable, but don't expect too much of others.\n\nAs much as possible do your study in day light hours.  Research suggests taht one hour of study in day light is equal to about an hour and a half of study after dark.\n\nTake short breaks.  Generally marathon work sessions don't work for most people.  But make sure you end your break on time.  \n\nThis one might sound silly, but get enough rest.\n\nDo the most difficult things when you are most alert, not when you are tired.\n\nDo the most important stuff first.\n\nSchedule some exercise and relaxation time everyday.  It will energize you.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck!

At least a week ahead of time make a personal study guide. This means if you learn or remember things with pictures, draw pictures on the sides to help yourself remember; or if you remember things by listening, make a song out of something and include info in it. If you do this, you are learning your way therefore you will remember it. Second of all, the night before a test, make sure you don't overdo it completely with studying. Simply reread your study guide right before you go to bed. Your brain will remember inthe morning. I then suggest you eat a healthy breakfast which contains oils (i forget what they're called) that are contained in fish. Sounds nasty but they help a great deal. An apple also helps you wake up (better than caffeine!) and stay alert which will prevent you from daydreaming during a test. \nBe prepared, don't worry and smile. Good luck!

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!

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.
