Well, it's not usually good to study for hours at a time or cramming, it's good to take a 10-minute break every 2 hours or so.

Unless there's not a lot of material, never study the day before. split up the material over a time period that would allow you to study for it without feeling overloaded. What worked for me is reviewing all the material 1 or 2 days before the exam after having studied it all. \nSay you have 5 chapters for an exam. \nDay 1 study chapters 1 & 2, highlighting the important facts. \nDay 2 study chapters 3 & 4. \nDay 3 study chapter 5. \nDays 4 and/or 5 review the material that you highlighted. \nSometimes writing important notes while studying helps you remember.

No one ever wants to study.  Your best bet would be to study with a group, read out loud, or break it up and study for like 15 minutes and take a 5 minute break.  If you try to study for say an hour, you're not going to keep anything in your head because since you don't want to study, you won't be paying attention, and you'll only be wasting your time.

There are many sites which can give you good advice on study skills - use the search engines.\nIf you are having problems settling down to studying now, how will you cope if you get a place at university?\n\nAs codrock advised, log-off. Turn your phone off. Shut yourself away. I recommend no more than about 2 hours at a time including two short breaks.

read about it every day, think about it, talk about it, draw pictures about it, and before you go to sleep, read a little about a narrow subject.\n\nReview your notes in the 10 minutes before class starts.\n\nCramming makes for memory that easily evaporates, repeated reviews go into longterm memory.\n\nThe human mind can only study profitably for about 45 minutes at a time, then you need to take a break to let what you study seep into your memory. Then write in your own words a summary of what you had just studied. Then continue to study for the same subject about 30 more minutes.

you have to get away from all distractions! go to the library and find an empty room to study in. you will be so bored, you will look to your book for entertainment! stay away from the tv, phone, and friends. Also try to motivate by setting a goal. for example, "i will study for two hours, then i will watch ______ on tv". or something along those lines. Dont forget to take a 10 minute break every half hour...otherwise you will not be as focused for your studying! good luck!

here's what you do:\nmake yourself as concentrated as possible\nthen just study. once you get into your studying you will be able to stay studying for longer and it doesnt seem as hard\ntrust me, i have had that problem before\nthink about it, would you rather have a good grade on the test or be able to play games which you can do after?

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???

Been there, done that.\nWhen ever you read something, create a picture of it.\nwhen i study, i take breaks. Most of the time when i study, I walk and pace. The pictures in my head help me most.\nOne important thing, make sure you understand one thing at a time and when you are done with a page, dont go to the next page until you have absolutely memorized the whole page completely.\nSometimes, i re write everything again, helps me alot. Especially using different colors.

It's not how many hours u have to study to learn a subject from scratch....\n\nStudy with concentration. Try and understand the meaning of the subject concepts. If u don't understand read again no matter how many times...once,twice,thrice.... read it and understand.As u proceed to the next topics in ur subject, u'll get a hold of it automatically.

general advice on studing is to do so for about twenty minute then take a 5 min break, ever couple of hours have a complete break a snack and a fresh drink....\nto be technically strong in a subject you must research your subjest

Take 15-20 minutes per class and study!  Each night..only review the topic you don't know and take 5 minutes to concentrate on one topic...no music, no distractions...and always go with your first instinct!

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.

I usually start studying for tests about 4 or 5 days in advance.  Take 1 or 2 hours each day before the test and go over 1 chapter per hour.  I usually get a notebook and jot down important things I see in the chapter.  Then I read the chapter summaries several times.  I then go back through my notes and go over them several times.  Then I take a 20-30 minute break.  Humans can only pay attention for about 45-50 minutes at a time.  Be sure not to study non stop, or you won't absorb material.  Take breaks.

Everyone has his/her own best period of studying - so while some may study better at night time, some may be more effective in the afternoon. The number of hours that you have to study in order to get the full marks in all courses depends on the amount of information you have to assimilate and on your own rhythm of studying.\n\nAnyway...here are a few tips for studying effectively:\n\nSet yourself reasonable goals and stick to them. (Don't try to set yourself higher goals than you can manage - the disappointment caused by the failure in not achieving them may make you far less enthusiastic about your studying. You can set higher goals, but do this gradually, after you have managed to get in the habit of accomplishing the simple ones).\n\nStudy in short frequent sessions (it is said that the ideal "formula" for this is: 50 minutes of studying, followed by a 10 minute break).\n\nIt's also very important to end your studying with a revision of what you have learned during the day - this will cement the new information into your brain.\n\nAnd I do advise you to get a good night's sleep - during the night your brain will work on the information you assimilated during the day, thus contributing to the process of learning (did you know that you use your brain more during your sleep than when watching tv?).\n\nSome very useful information about this on the websites below:

turn off all music and TVs if they are on, put all phones on silent gab all the munchies and candy you want and just go for it for like 45 min to an hour then take a  15 min break and study after untill you feel you know the material.
