I am not good at studying like at all. I usually end up getting distracted or I give up. When I try to study I don't know what to do, like I have my notebook and textbook and other papers but just reading over notes doesn't stay in my mind. I end up forgetting most of it. I have tried listening to music and that doesn't help either. 😐How do you study and what should I try? |

I listen to music. My friends think I am nuts because they think it would distract me more, but it works for me🤷♀️

Just keep experimenting with what works for you. Try chewing gum, listening to music(probably without words), try different places such as quiet of louder spaces, remember to always take breaks(not too many) lastly, just ask someone at your school or somewhere else for advise.

@ClydeKitty Do you have finals too?? I have my last ones tmr morning but Im gonna wing em lol. Kinda late for advice but... first, put ur electronics away bc its a big distraction (for me at least). I usually compile a list/notes to study. I heard somewhere that rewriting things by hand helps you remember more. If it's math, I'll rewrite some main theorems and do practice problems. If it's history, science, or something similar, I'll rewrite the main concepts or vocabulary and paraphrase them in my own words. Putting things into a list of main concepts helps me know what to study, but its rlly up to you.

I listen to music with words (for some reason it helps me LOL) and you really need to take breaks. I find setting a time for breaks doesn’t work, so I would say take a break when you want to. When I set a time, I loose focus and try to get through the material fast just to take the break. Also if you have LED lights or lightbulbs, try experimenting with different colors when studying. I like to use quizlet for review or my own flash cards if I have the materials.

When I have to study History ,I read 3 times th first paragraph and I try to remember the things that happened.Then I write the paragraph as I remember and then I look if I have done smth wrong.When I finish my paragraphs, I try to write all the history lesson again to see if I remember. When I need breaks I just leave the books and I go outside 🙂 .Hope it helps 😄

PUT YOUR PHONE 2338293819 MILES AWAY FROM YOUU. if you have your phone next to you then you will be like "oh imma check my messages then I'll put it down" sooner or later you will find that the day is almost done and that you haven't done anything for the past 2 hours |

heeey i was just studying today so here are some of my tips 😉 1. take your phone and throw it across the room || 2. listen to classical musical or nature sounds || 3. have something to sip on or snack on 🧃🍪 || 4. use the... pomdora method?? idk what it’s called but basically how it works is you set a timer for 25 minutes, after every 25 minutes iyou take a 5 min break and then every 4, 25 minutes (so every hour) you take a 15-30 min break || 5. have a list of everything you wanna get done in that study session. sometimes when you think about all the stuff you have to do it feels overwhelming but then you write it out and it’s not as much as you were thinking || i think that’s it! hope this helps ❤️

Idk if you already do this, but instead of just reading the information, write down the key points as well. This helps you remember better. Also keep your phone or other devices on silent, so you do not get distracted by texts. Lastly there are also apps that help you study, so you can see if those can help you. It's different from person to person, so its trial and error. Also listening to wordless music is relaxing to me, so I am less stressed. I usually listen to Chilled Cow's lofi radio on yt.

Oh yeah i also forgot something. Make a list of what you want to do in your study session so you have a clear outline of what to do. This is helpful for me in order to stay organized and it really helps!
