Would be a lot of help if you could kindly share your experiences regarding this.

Yes i already receive a tips how to make the study session interesting. When I'm in high school my friend's suggest that we have a group review for better understanding the lesson we can talk the understanding of the lesson each one of use so that we can correct the mistake of others. You can also share your thoughts and ideas to them to more enhance it for best it interesting for me because i can share what i know and if I'm mistake they can correct me and have more bonding with them. Sometimes it will have a conflict between you and others that can affect the study of each of us. If one person have a higher stress it can cause him physical emotional and mentally that affect her communication to others and have less patient.

I got some tips on how to make your study session interesting. Before I begin to study, I will prepare all the things I need. Next thing to do is to relax my mind by listening soft music. I always choose to be alone in studying and find a quiet place. In that way I can concentrate,especially when the subject is science, there are always unfamiliar terms. When I don't know the terms, I always find the meaning in the dictionary to understand what I'm studying.

I prefer to be alone while studying. I choose a place where I can concentrate with my studies, away from any diversion, I usually used mnemonic it helps the information retain in my mind.

Read the text book through three times.
First, read the chapter or whatever you need to study, slowly and thoroughly.
Second, read it again, this time stop and take notes.
Thirdly, read it again, all the way through.
By reading it three times, it can help you to digest what you are studying.
Also, it does help to go over the chapter (or whatever you are studying) with a couple of other students. You can learn from each other. But be sure to do some studying on your own.

What ever works for you is how you need to study. Personally, I prefer peace and quiet when studying. My children, when they were teenagers, preferred listening to loud music but they kept their grades up and did well in school. So, as long as they were able to study and got good grades, I allowed them to listen to their loud music, with their earplugs, of course. :)
So, all the best to you. I am sure you will do well in your studies. And in life.

There are a lot of ways to make studying fun and interesting. You can organize a study group with your friends and help quiz each other. You can also vary your studies, study different subjects every hour or so. You can also take down notes, note down the important keywords to remember them. You can also make use of acronyms for easier memorization. Or to make things really interesting, try applying what you've learned.

This is what I do when studying,whenever I study, I actually look for an interactive software that helps me to study. This may sound corny but I actually put all my notes, handouts and study materials into music, I actually made a song pattern which is catchy and lively wherein I memorized it easily and fun of course. Make a flashcard and do it with different handwriting,colors and decorating it will help you remember them. I was taught by my friend who took a board examination, to make a small posters that I can hang up around my room and in our house, I decorated it, draw pictures and I presented and explain it in front of my family, it worked for me.

There are not many ways to improve the interest of studying, the whole thing really depends on how much you enjoy the subject. If you select something that appeals to you then it will automatically qualify as interesting, whereas subjects have little appeal to you will always remain more difficult. The only realistic approach would be to persevere and study hard.

Friend, I am not jocking. I am telling all this things with my expirianc. First you make a interest for that subjects. Mainly in science and maths. When you studing science study with reasons because science is a logical subject. When I am in grade 9 my teacher said one thing that is "First you improve your maths skills then other subjects will get easy for you". and I did like that and it is correct but I felt hard about biology and history because I dont like those subjects, thats why I said first make interest with your subjects....

Based on my experience, I drink a lot of water before studying. It will help the brain function well. It will be helpful to read your lessons everyday, and it will not be hard for you to recall while reviewing before the examination. Also make a short list or summary of your lessons and discussions. If you have a lot of terms to memorize you can make abbreviations for easily recalling. The most important part is to pray, never forget to pray.

There are really a lot of ways to make studying enjoyable. As for me, I do it by staying in a good learning environment free of noise. I also listen to soft music sometimes while studying. Friends or classmates can also be of help when studying, so try to have a study session with them. Avoid distractions, and you will be ok.

study is made to be interesting if we enjoy doing it. we must also have to concentrate and focus on what we are doing so that it will not be useless. some individuals including myself find study interesting when they are studying with group of people. we had to be interested on studying when we are motivated by others. also valuing our skills we have in order to obtain our goal in studying.

If you want to make study interesting, try to have a open forum or discussion with your classmates after your class that is related to studies. After your class just try to go home straight and review what your teacher discussed. If you have quizes and you got perfect or average that will make your study interesting. Also try to have a research about your subjects. It will also help you this to make your studys interesting.

Before i hated math and i love playing online games. When ever i study math my head just hurt so much. I thought of a way i can like studying math so what i did was i used my imagination. I imagined that math is like a role playing game in a computer or a puzzle where in i need to solve in order to move to the next level. After continuously doing that as a result i already loved math.Try doing this incorporating something you love on the subject you hate to study.

I know the interesting is one seeks to know certain things or psychological tendency to engage in certain activities. In Chinese Someone said," The interest is the best way to learning". People are obsessed with a particular interest, like activity, and at the end to obtain or small or large success. You focus on those things that really arouse your curiosity so that you will have better chance to have energy in exploring the topic. So just focus on your interest and do your best in your work every times.

Group studying is said to be interesting because you will learn a lot of things rather than studying alone. It is more fun to study in group most especially if the topic is about science because you can share ideas to each other. It will expand our knowledge to be able to understand the topic well. And we can voice out some questions/word/ideas to each other. We can also discover many things that we do't know yet.

There different ways on how you'll make a study session interesting. You can do a group study session at the same time chat with friends after. Or maybe having a group discussion with your classmates then teach them those things they can't understand and vice versa. But for me when I had taken science as a subject what I did is that I eat lot of chocolates and chips while reading my book. Sometimes what I do is that I'll make a summary of the topic we had at the same time watch funny movies.

Study session can be a lot interesting if you put your mind set unto it. Without thinking anything else to do and anyone else to meet and have a drinking session with. It will be more efficient to learn in a silent place away from any form of distraction. Stress makes are brain difficult to store information therefore the best hour to study is early in the morning around 3am to 9am since our brain is fresh from sleeping. Drinking enough water will also help our brain to react faster while studying.

As everyone else is saying in their comments that group discussion or dtudy is one of the best way for making a study session interesting, I agree because you can help each other out with things that you dont understand, you can share ideas and you can ask questions when needed to. You can also study in a quiet place where you can focus but never stress yourslef by studying too much otherwise you'll just get anticipated and bored so take a break, rest your mind and eat peanuts..thats good for your brain :)

To make study session fun you should know first if you could learn faster with friends or studying alone. Through this way you will be able to grasp easily all the lesson that you need to memorize. Before studying clear up first your mind and make sure you are not doing other task. Do also some note taking method like outlining so that you will not miss anything.It would also be better to a break once in a while and have some snack. If you have eaten something you will be more concentrated and focus to what you are reading.
