how can i concentrate towards studies.i can not study please help !?

Question

i study in high school

Answer 1

I know!!! concentrate!!!!!!!!! lol!!!

Answer 2

Find a way to make learning the material fun for you. You always remember when you are having fun!! Make flashcards out of index cards for vocabulary words Use poetry to help you remember important dates (like, 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue!! I remember that from 2nd grade!!)

Another thing you can do is make sure you have no distractions around while you are studying at home. Better yet, go to the library to study and do homework!! Ask a friend to help you in a subject you have difficulty in, and offer to help that friend in a subject they have difficulty in.

Most importantly, ask questions in class when you don't understand what the teacher said. More often then not, there are at least 5 other students who are to afraid to ask the same question!! You can also go to your teacher after class, or even after school if you are still having a difficult time understanding the material covered in class.

Answer 3

Calm your mind first. Find a quietest spot to study at. Make sure your mind is free of distraction. Sit straight, eyes at your books the whole time. Nothing should matter except what you're studying. Take some break for 10 minutes to relax, walk around before resuming to study some more. This is to train your concentration to be more effective. I wish you luck.

Answer 4

Remove self from computer/yahoo!answers. Put on some music that doesn't have words. Make flash cards. Read the chapter you're studying over and over again. Take a break after an hour or so, but just walk around, don't turn on the tv or anything distracting. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Answer 5

I have always been good at studying even in high school but it wasn't until my 3rd semester in college did I find a better way to study, which made things more easeir for me with a my busy schedule.

My Psychology Professor showed my class an easy way to study and retain information in subjects that guranteed us that we would pass any test.

First off it is always important to recognize any important material your teacher(s) lectures on. Usually most teachers will repeat information or talk about key points longer but that all depends on the teacher. Keep it in mind. If you have any questions on something ask. As soon as you get any type of notes or material, you have to look over it within the first hour after getting it. It will assure that you won't forget what you just went over. At home you need to put aside at least 2-3 hours of your time M-Fri. and study. On weekends at the most 5-6 hours a day but not all at the same time. Also be sure to follow these important DO's and DONT's of study:

1. Don't study on your bed. Why? Because you will find yourself asleep before you've finished your work.
2. Don't study and eat at the same time. Your mind will be too focused on your food to devote all your time to studying
3.Don't study too close "your" bedtime. You will fall asleep.
4.Do study at your table or desk. If you must have music or some type of noise to study by all means do so. Some people tend to focus better if they have some type of background noise.
5. Do your notes different colored highlighters pens or pencils. For some people they are able to recognize important information when it is in different colors. Also use flashcards, note cards, silly phrases or wordings etc. that work best for you in order to retain information
6. Some students prefer working in study groups which is also great since you can interact with your classmates and talk things out rather than alone.But groups study is not for everyone. Some do better studying alone.

When studying outside of class it will help to follow these steps:

1. Study for 30 minutes stop take a 5 minute break and study again. This will help in allowing your brain to store needed knowledge. If your studying for more than one exam just alternate. For example: If you have History to study, study that for 30 minutes take a 5 minute break then study your English for 30 minutes do a 5 minute break and just continue this. It's a repetitive way to focus and retain.

*Note that the human brain when studying tends to remember more of the first and last of any notes or anything read and will retain little to nothing of the notes or chapters in the middle. Sounds strange but it's a proven fact. So it will do you good to take some time to focus a little bit more on that part.

Before the day of your test only review. No studying. Studying is what should be done weeks before your exam not a week or a day before. Anything thing a week or two before your test is REVIEW! So review for your test and immediately go to bed. This gives your brain time to store the information needed in your short term memory so that when you go to take your exam all your answers will come to you easily. The day of your test eat a hearty breakfast. Fruits, protein... And be prepared with all materials needed.

***Keep in mine that this will not give you any good results on an exam(s) if you do not start going through the process of studying and reviewing the minute you get any type of notes etc. from your teacher.
Good luck and hope this helps.

Answer 6

I have the same problem as you. My suggestion is you turn of the television, computer, radio, or anything that would distract you. I used to be calm when listening to music, but then I would fall asleep, and never get my homework done. Find a nice, quiet area of the room or house. That should work. Hope you pass!

Answer 7

If keeping focus is your issue then I can help you. At one time I was told I had A.D.D. (attention deficent disorder) They told me I couldn't concentrate on anything longer then a few minutes without my mind wandering off onto something else. The doctors told me if I wanted to change this to pick up hobbies like playing solataire and putting together puzzles. These types of activities strengthens the brain activity to stay focused and builds consentration. you can also get meditaion on audio to quiet your mind and to slow down your thinking process. sorry this is so long,

Answer 8

Turn off the television!
Turn off the Stereo!
Turn off everything - even your phone.
Be in a quiet room.
Get interested in what it is you are going to study. (even if it is only because it will be fun to know the answers when you have a test!)
Set yourself a reasonable time limit - with breaks if it is for more than an hour.
Have good lighting.
That's all I can think of. Good luck!

Answer 9

ok, I get distracted easily, so what I do is listen to music (this doesn't work for all people!) I listen to music that I already know, so I don't think about it that much. If you are concentrating on homework, and the music keeps you busy, then it keeps your mind off of other things. Good luck!

Answer 10

I had the same problem as a teenager. I flunked high school and am now in a dead end job with not money. If only I had studied.

Answer 11

For me, I alternate. Study then do something that I like. 30 or 40 min. later go back to the books. Challenge yourself by saying I want to learn this, I will need to know this etc.
