focus, mostly for me that comes naturally, mostly in my exams, the questions were quite general knowledge with a bit of thinking in the mix. So personally, I'd just revise, revise and revise. BTW, try getting rid of the factors that distract you, go into a room, a quiet one, and pull out a book, and start writing, asking yourself questions, ect.

hello thanks for your response,
yep! I must focus maybe I should follow what you have said that I will go to a quite room which no one can distrust me at all. Seems really difficult to concentrate in all my lessons. right? . Okay so that is what you do you just revise and revise to memorize it? i think that is great.
thanks really help.

Hi tiina!
Try to free up your mind first before studying. Set your mind to the things that you need to do and in this case it's your exam. Don't try to force yourself to study if you're not in the mood.
I don't know the reason why you can't focus. Could be due to distractions or maybe because many things worries you or there are things that you must do first. You need yourself to heat up first or a warm-up like reading or writing. Do something that interest you and you'll find yourself ready. Yes it's difficult to focus so I take time to relax then I'll be refreshed and in the mood again.
Good luck and God bless to your exam!

Well that is a problem if you are easily distracted. Maybe you are thinking too much about the way things are. You really need to take those things.
Usually when I study back then, I do it at midnight because everybody is already asleep and the surrounding is also quiet already so that means it's easier for me to study. Try to find the right time where you can study well. I also drink tea or coffee while studying so that I'll be relaxed.

make sure that you aren't tired because if u are, u can't focus. Take a half hour nap so your mind and body will be rested for studying. Also, u might be stressed so sleeping can help this for you. also, i know that i used to eat peppermint candy when i studied and for some reason, when i take the test, i eat the same peppermint candy and i remember what i actually studied. it's also proved in psychology books that this technique works. just try it out and let me know how and if it helped you.

I think the first thing I would do is find out what I am worried about. Those things would interfere with my ability to concentrate on studying. If there is nothing I can do about those situations, I would write them down and put the list somewhere to be dealt with later. If that doesn't get me to a point of being able to focus, I would take a walk and put my attention out. At that point, I would sit down and start to study. I would take breaks after about an hour to at least look out the window, walk across the room, get a drink or whatever else I might need to do. By doing this, I wouldn't feel so "stuck in my head". I don't know if it will help you, but it did help me. Good luck!

Look for ways the things you see in life relate to what you're studying, and vice-versa. Then it's less like "studying" and more like "research."
Also, look at the things that might get in the way of studying as 'rewards for the time you have-devoted/will-devote to your studies'

how to focus? Well it's very easy to say, but sometimes its hard to do..
you must stop all things that can destruct you from studying..you must do all the things you must do before studying..Me, i am always destructed from anything that eventually i lost my focus from studying..its really hard...but if you really want to pass the exams you must do it..i always think about the consequences if i fail the exams...just study hard..

Hi,my friend,I think the key of learning is interest.If you have no interest in study,it will be a difficult thing.Try to be relaxed,and creat a quiet environment.
Find your interest in your study.Good luck!

Maybe you should think of all the aspects that may activate your concentration. Some ca concentrate well with a music background, some eats peanuts while reviewing and others prefer to be in a quiet place. So, you should think about that for you to be able to concentrate.
Good luck in your exam!!

I think that the first thing you need to do is relax. I think that you need not to eat the pages of your books, rather you just need to know the basics of a certain subject.
I think that education or learning is something that is not just an obligation for the future. It is something more than that. I see it as an interesting matter. I think that it would help to just focus on the discussion the next time you sit on your chair on your room and on your spare time when still on school, read.
I believe we must have interest on education so that we could learn new things. With this, on your next exam, I think you will do fine.

I have the same problem. I can't motivate myself to study :( The least I can do is cram the day before the exam or not study at all. Sorry.

When i was on my college year even in my high school life when the examination day is near I am so depress how to focus on my study for me to got high grades. I found out that those things which is got my interest like surfing, playing guitar, or even eating gets my attention, so i prefer to go on to my room lock it and clean, trow away all the mess then sit on my bed and start to study my lesson. I found out having a clean and comfortable place will help you stay focus on the things you need to do. So when my examination day came, expect that my room is fully clean.
