I have a test tomorrow morning and I am having a hard time concentrating on the material. I am in a quiet place with no distractions, yet I can't seem to focus. Does anyone have any ideas to help me focus so I can learn the material? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes try studying by doing an activity. For example, instead of just studying the book or your notes, try to outhink your teacher and creat a test for yourself. Make it the hardest test that you can! Or, write an outline of the chapters and notes and try to blend them together.
Just the act of writing the material down again will help you learn it. And it will relieve the boredom. Good luck!

Obviously you have distractions, you are on yahoo answers! i would suggest taking a short break form the material, get something to eat, watch tv for 30 minutes then go back to it.

Check out 'Studying For Exams Made Simple' written by an 'A' student. I think you can still get it at www.college-study-skills.com Just click the 'how to study' link. It sure helped me.

This may sound silly, but eat a lolly pop while you work. Sucking on a candy or lolly pop actually helps people consentrate! My middle school english teacher would hand them out before a test and we all got much better grades!

first of all you shouldn't be tired.If you are tired go and sleep, and then drink fresh orange and lemon juice and you can eat some nuts(they help your brain, seriously)Don't think anything else just focus on the material.Good luck on the test! :)

focus on your breathing. get in your body.
if you find your mind wandering, come back to your breathing.
when you are totally submerged in your breathing, go back
to what you are supposed to be studying.
