have a rewards system...set little goals to achieve during ure day....and when acheived, reward ureself....lol it usually works with chocolate + music =)

 

[music dr]

listen to soft quiet music to help study it owrks especially country music

I found that a good movie orchestral soundtrack works best for me. I love my star wars cd, and it really does help you concentrate, although i have to be careful at times that i don't start to analyse the music and lost track of what i'm doing
*sigh* the curse of a muso

read 'master the HSC' by peter sheahan
its an excel book with lots of tips on successful studying
the guy who wrote it is a motivational speaker who got a UAI in the high 90s

to get motivated to study and tips on how to become more efficient in studying, memorising etc. get the book.

i went through this thread on sunday, went onto his site thought it would be worth my wild and bought it on monday. the book is very useful and i found the motivation chapter very good.

btw peter sheahan got a TER = to 98.5 for UAI

a promise to yourself is as good as one to your best friend

1) no music, unless its wordless classical (sounds freaky but my physic tutor tested it at a pubic school... made even the year 8 sluts shut up)

2) when you file your notes (from class) put them into a seperate folder per subject, accessable at your desk

3) Have your syllybus right next to you... ESPECIALLY if u do a science.

4) promise yourself a time, note the title! timetabling is important, and always have room to move sessions cause shit happens, a timetable is a promise to your future! you get one chance at year 12!

5) bright light at desk on your left (opposite to the side u write with)

6) study groups r good, i go me and a m8 for 3 hrs on saturday to do maths, cause we suck!

7) if u are getting bored, looking out the window, get on the floor and do 20 full-man push ups, gets the blood going!! and if you are wasting your time, and are stressed, push yourself Soo hard and go for a run and come back NEW!

any good study tips because i really find it hard to concentrate

HAHAHA...

just go to page one and read, concentration!

 

[thewhitecomet]

wow, ppl have always told me that WHERE you study is really important, i never really paid much attention to that but seriously, it works. usually i study in my room- with magazines, GBA, DS, PSP, comp, books, movies just vying for my attention. i'm lucky to get 1 hour done. but recently i moved downstairs to the lower room to study and omg, i did 6 hours of physics work no sweat. but i disagree with the music part, i listened to all kinds of music, it really does help cut the boredom. when i'm down in that dull room, having my ipod really helps.

 

[pLuvia]

studying anywhere is fine, as long as you actually study effectively than its all good. I find the library is a good place to study, with the accompaniment of some music
i recommend studying where no computer is in of reach lol

 

[ScottyG]

I can't study in a library. I really prefer my room. The computer can be a distraction, but usually, if an exam's soon, I can pull myself back to studying. If an exam's a fair way away's, I will *only* allow myself to do *any* computer related work (I do IPT) after everything non-computer related.

The times in year 11 I've turned the computer on, done some work and notched onto MSN with some music only to find its suddenly and unexpectedly 9 oclock are uncountable.

 

[=]]

hehe i can only study at the library. so many distractions at home - internet, tv, music, family...

ahhh the list just goes on =] good luck with exams. i have SC on monday :O

try eating chocolate for a boost.

 

[cigazze]

yeah, actually, i've found that after sitting at the computer for hours trying to conjoure up an essay from thin air, the best thing for both concentration and muscles is a few sit ups (but that's only coz i cant do push ups )

other than that, my friends find it better to study in libraries. i find it good to go outside for a half hour or an hour, and even if ur still studying outside, when you return it will feel like a bit of a break anyway

 

[Riviet]

I think most people would find the library one of the best places to study, music also helps to keep you going while your're working.

 

[light_~@~ngel]

well i recommend u buy sum books or sumfing to help u out , there are plenty of books around for eg. Power of Concentration by Theron Q. Dumont
lol my brother told me bout this >> he said " best book >>its really gud "

or may be Concentration by Ernest Wood

 

[hopeles5ly]

A study group also works well but don't form one with too many people, otherwise you'll just start chatting.

Hehe, that reminds me of our meetup...
