eat a healthy, balanced diet without sugar, caffeine and soda. That will help.

If you think it is your environment, then you should get out. Go to the library where it is quite and you can think. Also, are you studying the day before a test? If you forget you probably don't have good short term memory. Thus, you should read over the information about 3-5 days before. Just read it. Don't try to memorize. Read the first and 2nd day. Day 2 you should feel like you read it before. Day 3 try to grasp the concept of what you are reading, analyze. You should also start to be able to know what is going to be said before you read. Also, take breaks. Your mind does need time to rest. So read for a while and if you start to get distracted, get up. Walk around, get some to eat, etc. Give about 15 min. Then go back. Also, get sleep. No need to study all night. If your restless you really won't remember anything the next day. So sleep at a reasonable time. I don't study for more than 1 1/2 hr. usually an hr. but thats me. And I do the above.

Time for some attitude adjustment, walk on down to the fast food place and "say" this is where I'll be working after I graduate.
.
Go to college library to study.
Talk the materials and translate it to your own words, memorization is sometimes a necessary chore.
Find out if your class has a small study group.
You must have a goal, a dream--what do you imagine yoursled loking like and doing as a great career in a few years. NOW be that person today, not in a few years--TODAY
act it out, even the required courses that you could care less about are VERY important for e-mails, communicating, negotiating, winning people over, etc...

Simple, non-medical answers could be to study in a quiet environment. Also, there are studying methods that can be used. Such methods include, but are not limited to, taking periodic breaks so you're not overwhelmed with info and using different studying tactics (flash cards vs. just reading). If you find yourself in a situation where you still find it hard to focus, I am not a medical authority to give you a proper diagnosis but I do know of some who found help focusing in their scholastic careers with medications such as Stratera and other such ADD and/or ADHD treatments. Hope this helps and good luck in school.

Forget a drug unless you feel that your problem is caused by a mental health condition.
Find a quiet place to study...even if you have to go to the library. Get plenty of rest, no partying. Try studying just a bit at a time, then when you go to bed go over what you have learned silently in your head.
Use association in your studies...associate the information you are learning to something else in your life.

adequate rest, proper nutrition, and enlist your family's help by asking for quiet time so you can study. No magic pills to make you smarter sorry. If the environment distracts you too much, do your studying in the local library. You made it in to college, you have the smarts, just not the common sense that comes with time and maturity.

Try the library or someplace where the environment will be consistent. If there is a television or radio on it can be easier to be distracted. Really anywhere that is quiet I guess unless of course noise helps your concentration level.

I'm a college student too as well and also have a hard time studying this is because I semi-short term memory loss - the only way that I'm able to study is by typing out all my notes, or point form - over and over again...no distractions ie. tv, music, movies, family - no one - sit alone at the computer, I'm sure your family will allow you that alone time just for you

well good thing the year is almost over. what you need is this summer break and to figure out if you are too old to be at home with family. if it is distracting you then its time to move out. get a roomate that is cheap or live on campus. but you are only waisting money on shcool if you cant concentrate and you do poorly when you can actually change the situation. good luck, and stick with it.

I don't know, whenever I had a tough time studying....I always got myself a beautiful woman, and took her to bed.
