Answer 1

Well of course it all depends on you..

Time of day: For me i find i get more done at night time. I feel more awake and i find my self looking for things to do to keep my mind going. I think for you it would be which ever time of the day you feel more awake and relaxed.

For concentrion: Try relaxing technics, have 10 minute sessions of being calm and playing calming music, then when you feel focused, then start studying.

NB: Make sure your in the same frame of mind when your exams come around. for example. if you only study when your feeling awake, then you must make sure that your mind feels awake when you take your test. It will help get your mind thinking about times you felt like that before, and when you did.. you were studying..

Answer 2

the best way that works for me, is late at night between 11:00-midnight, or waking up really early morning like about 4:00am.
but I only do it this way because I have children, and that's the time they're sleeping. Also, use these techniques:

Predict: Make educated guesses. Good readers make predictions about thoughts, events, outcomes, and conclusions. As you read, your predictions are confirmed or denied. If they prove invalid, you make new predictions. This constant process helps you become involved with the author's thinking and helps you learn.

Picture: Form images. For good readers, the words and the ideas on the page trigger mental images that relate directly or indirectly to the material. Images are like movies in your head, and they increase your understanding of what you read.

Relate: Draw comparisons. When you relate your existing knowledge to the new information in the text, you are embellishing the material and making it part of your framework of ideas. A phrase of a situation may remind you of a personal experience or something that you read or saw in a film. Such related experiences help you digest the new material.

Monitor: Check understanding. Monitor your ongoing comprehension to test your understanding of the material. Keep an internal summary or synthesis of the information as it is presented and how it relates to the overall message. Your summary will build with each new detail, and as long as the message is consistent, you will continue to form ideas. If, however, certain information seems confusing or erroneous, you should stop and seek a solution to the problem. You must monitor and supervise you own comprehension. Good readers seek to resolve difficulties when they occur; they do not keep reading when they are confused.

Correct gaps in understanding. Do not accept gaps in your reading comprehension. They may signal a failure to understand a word or a sentence. Stop and resolve the problem. Seek solutions, not confusion. This may mean rereading a sentence or looking back at a previous page for clarification. If an unknown word is causing confusion, the definition may emerge through further reading. When good readers experience gaps in comprehension, they do not perceive themselves as failures; instead, they reanalyze the task to achieve better understanding.

Answer 3

Early morning is the best time for study.

early to bed, early to rise - makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise

Just try to getup sometime around 4 AM or so and start the study. I'm sure you will feel the difference.

Direction: It is preferred if you face east at study. If you can sit close to an open window it'll be even better.

Answer 4

in the morning where the brain is fresh and have rested for the night. no direction needed as long as no direct sunlight. study the subjects that are hard first and later in the day, start on the easy ones. you will not be tense if you have studied and confident that you will pass. and sip your hot favorite drink while studying, it will help you to relax.

Answer 5

1) When it is quiet
2) All directions
3) Take deep breaths and study

You sound really tensed, so i guess your nervousness will make you study. However i think you should study instead of asking questions on the net!! But is you are really nervous, maybe you should see a shrink.

Answer 6

In the morning, head over to the library and find a quiet spot with your books. That way you will have no distractions.

Answer 7
