I bet all of you have had to actually sit down and study some time or another(something I almost never do) And finals are rolling in on me pretty soon, and i've been pretty serious about hitting my books after school. So, what do you guys think? I listen to some soft music: Tim Reynolds, some Dave Matthews, and go from there, but it's really hard for me to pay attention sometimes. There was a time I had to study for about 3 hours for my Civics final. . .I passed with a 70! I need HELP!!! If I dont start shaping up, high school is going to take a bite out of my ass.

My best friend told me to jerk off if I'm having trouble concentrating... at least your mind won't be on ass for a little bit allowing you to actually concentrate on studying.

one tip is to not listen to music with singing in it. If you know the song, you'll start singing along or if you play guitar, you'l pull it out ad start playing. Play it quiet too, kind of like backround music.
Also, just do practice problems over and over. Although I don't do it very often, it does help.

oh yeah. stop visiting this site for a while. i.e. I'm supposed to be writing a research paper right now (i'm on page 7), but i'm currently at this website and watching the Simpsons (the one where Burns gets shot, first of the two).

yeah, I tend to stay away from music while I study. Anytime when you have to read, music will only be a distraction.
When I really need to kick my ass into gear I go over to the library. There are NO DISTRACTIONS there so all you have to do is your homework.

I'd go to the library too, but the one on my campus has a fountain that you can hear anywhere. Needless to say, you fall asleep in 10 minutes (or really have to pee).

Don't have any music or TV on when you are trying to study, eventually you will end up listening or watching no matter how hard you think you are concentrating on studying. Try not to save all your studying for the last minute, break the material into smaller segments so you have a chance to absorb some of what you are studying. Good luck with your tests, they can be a real pain!
