Studying help

Set up a time limit and then reward yourself for reaching that. Say if I can focus for an hour I'm going to ... something you enjoy, preferably something healthy, like go to the gym or eat a healthy snack.

Have you ever heard of mind mapping? Along with all the other great advice and techniques you've received, mind mapping is great stratefy to help you connect the things you are studying. It would be easier to explain this if I knew your area of study. Think of it as a giant game of connect the dots. When you read or hear something that is familiar, you take a moment to connect to the information you know. This will help the newer information to sink and and become a registered portion of your knowledge base. Then when you read or hear something that is completely new, you do the same thing, relate it to something you already know or have experienced. You then connect this new information to familiar information, and finally to your stored information.

Well i will only advice that you look for the best ways to stay focused. And also your group or friends matters if they are te type that prefers moving around aimlessly with now right thinking attributes kindly drop them and read, read, read...thats what the former president says to the American kid. i know there are a lot of distractions here in Malaysia, but being focused is the main thing.

What kind of subject do you study about? if it is in your major field then you really need to focus and down to it. Here are some tips that I found it useful for me. Preview all topics that you about to read, then read summary and questions. when you start to read the whole thing, write down or high light the main idea in each paragraph. If you can't find main idea, use your own word to decide what you were read about,(to do this you could help yourself remember and understand faster). After you finish reading, you should try to answer the questions. Then, you should came back and review all your main idea. Once you are reviewing main idea, you need to tell yourself what it mean to you and what it told you about in this and that main idea. However, if you can't focus and get lost more than 2 or 3 times in the same paragraph then you should take a break for 15minutes or whole hour. Go do something fun and get some fresh air. it would help you clear your mind.... good luck.
