I_have_a_tic_tac is onto something. What you need is a study area that is away from any and all distractions. So studying in your room is obviously not an option.

So.... create your own space away from all distractions. And then you might want to use some of these tips:

How To Study

1.Create an hour by hour weekly schedule. Using your class schedule as a guide, block out specific times each day to study and specific times for other activities.
2.Create a regular study space. It should be as quiet and comfortable as possible with easy access to everything you need to study. For example, you should have pencils, papers, books, dictionaries, and computer materials all at the same location where you study so you won’t waste time looking for these things.
3.List daily what you need to study. (Check your planner)
4.Use the 30-3-2 schedule:
•Study for 30 minutes
•Take a 3 minute break
•Review what you had studied before your break for 2 minutes when you return from break


Tips/Strategies to help you study effectively:

1.Make flashcards
2.Re-write notes and other information so that you learn it and store it in your brain for future use.
3.Record the information on a tape and re-play it several times until you can repeat it.
4.Use the hide and peek method
a.Read the information out loud until you can repeat it without looking.
b.Hide the information and say it out loud
c.Peek to see if you got it right
d.If you got it right move on to the next chunk of information
e.If you got it wrong, repeat steps a,b,c from above

Peaceful music playing in the background turned down low.

Take regular breaks every hour or so and go for a walk or spend time in nature out in the sun. In other words look after yourself and take short 5 or 10 minute breaks when you feel to.

Make sure you have few distractions around you. Make sure friends and family leave you in peace for a set time period, let them know how long you need to study.

Make sure you don't have junk food snacks around you. Go to the kitchen to get food, eat there and leave food in the kitchen (away from the study area).

Turn your mobile phone off and make sure it is well away from you, out of easy reach.

Be well away from the computer.

Make a study space for yourself with a comfortable chair at a table with the sun streaming in.

Don't study on a lounge as you may feel too comfortable and tend to be sleepy after a while.

Burn some incense if you feel to (if you're into that), but nothing too strong.

Make it a nice space to study in.

I'm sure you can think of many other things to make your space comfortable, but not TOO comfortable to distract you.

Hope this all helps you, and you do well with studies and exams, etc.

God Bless You,

From Michael (mala_heart).

Peace And Happiness Always.

Ohh its so hard. Me, when I study, I have my radio on with nice foreign songs(Chinese songs or Taiwanese songs) at my side. It really helps me a lot in grasping the informations. And I choose that kind of music because its alien to me,moreover, i dont understand the lyrics---i just listen to its music. So during exams, when i forget something about the test, i just think about the music that I played during my study session and it is a great help in remembering what I have studied. Try it,,!
or If you find it very unusual and less effective, try studying with a partner. Tell your partner to ask you possible questions from ur book. Bet ya,its really effective! And what more?your partner could learn the lesson too. So, both of you would exchange ideas about a certain topic. Cite the ponderous idea and use it in your exam. Good luck! :)

Turn the phone off, as well and the TV, music, etc. Only study for as long as you can give full concentration...if your mind starts to wander, get up, stretch, perhaps a snack, but get back to it. The rewards will be great.

I keep a legal pad and a pen handy and write pertinent things as I am studying. If I don't, I wander. Then, when I'm through I read over my notes. I've been doing this for 40 years and it still works.

in case you do no longer choose to be pregnant... have not got intercourse. i do no longer care what technique you employ, there is mostly a brilliant gamble of being pregnant. I have been given pregnant taking the pill. confident I took it daily at 7 am in the previous I have been given off the mattress. on the dot. I conceived whilst on the pill, despite if i became married, and my husband and that i've got been greater advantageous than happy to settle for slightly one. As for the pull out technique, it labored for my husband and that i in between each and each of our infants. as quickly as we would have liked and needed yet another baby, we only only had intercourse. The longest we used that technique became 3 years. under no circumstances have been given pregnant in any respect. despite if i will reiterate returned: have not got intercourse in case you're no longer waiting to HAVE slightly one. you're arranged to have slightly one while: a million- you're married (or a minimum of in a life long committed dating) 2- you're financially self reliant of your mothers and fathers 3- the two you and/or your companion have a job which could help your becoming kin| ** Spike-X by using all definitions of "unfavourable", my kin is classed as so. we are a kin of 5 with an annual earnings (in the previous tax) of $fifty 4,000. that may not an excellent deal, yet we've all we choose. i did no longer say that unfavourable won't manage to have intercourse. My statements pertain to having a *infant*, no longer having intercourse. And all of us understand that intercourse can produce slightly one, even once you're employing delivery administration/risk-free intercourse measures. My perspectives are directed greater in direction of the youngsters and human beings available who're aggravating approximately being pregnant or getting pregnant. My suggestion to them is that in case you somewhat do no longer choose slightly one, the main secure, best thank you to avert it is to no longer have intercourse until you're arranged for the potential for slightly one. And once you are going to have slightly one, a minimum of attempt to be fairly arranged. I comprehend you won't manage to continuously be rolling in earnings the previous having young ones. God knows my husband and that i weren't rich and nevertheless are not. Please do no longer misconstrue my answer :) thank you!
