thanks for your answers but i still am really tempted to just sit back, relax, and play right now i dont know what to do!!

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

I know what you mean, this is a hard thing to do. You literally have to force yourself to study. One thing you could try is hiding you DS game system out of site. Try to think of how important this final exam is to you. If you keep trying to resist (I mean REALLY try) and study, you're mind should eventually become focused on your assignment. Also, think about this. Your parents may punish you from the DS for failing. So think to yourself "DS now and not for a while, or No DS now and DS after?". See if this helps.

Answer 3

If I were you, I'd take 5 minute breaks as often as every 15 minutes. It helps you remember. Also, get as far away from the game as possible and think about other stuff (instead of imagining what the games are like). Eat when you're hungry, drink enough water, and sleep when you're tired. That's all you can do at this point. Good luck!

Answer 4

you are basically going to have to buckle down and study. sucks, i know. do whatever it takes to study, take a break, go for a quick walk, do some other physical activity, take deep breaths, do what it takes to get through it. remember to just reward yourself with what you want at the end of the study time (or after the test would probably be a little more appropriate). get some sleep too.

Answer 5

Make a deal with yourself, study now and reward yourself with a couple of hours of pure fun with your new toy after the test.

This way you get to feel good about yourself, you make a great grade, have fun and most of all show your parents that you are growing up.

For what it's worth, adults have to deal with such problems too. It's just part of growing up.

Answer 6

make sure the room is well lite and all is quiet also,, take breaks every 45 minutes but for only 5 minutes and eat peppermints,, they are proven to help u concentrate and even use them when u take the test

Answer 7

try meditation.
