Most of the students have a lot of distraction when they need to study for upcoming exams, and some students forgot what they read and learned while taking an exam in short, they are suffering a mental - block because of pressure when taking an exam. So that I decide to create an article to give you some advice to stay focused and understand the lessons when you are studying.
1.) Get enough rest for 7-9 hours
This is the first method to take some energy before doing anything else and to avoid distraction when it comes to sleeping. Create enough time to get enough sleep on your timetable. Every night, get a good night's sleep and you'll make the most of your study time. As you lead up to the exam, this is necessary, and particularly important right before you take the test. Studies have shown that by enhancing memory and concentration, sleep has a beneficial effect on test taking. It might sound like a good idea to stay up all night studying, but skip the all-night cram session. You won't need to prepare anyway if you research during the weeks. Having a good night's sleep will make you do better. You won't feel exhausted or tired.
2.) Manage your time by creating a schedule of your priorities for study.
This second step will help you to manage your time and to avoid panic for the next subjects you will study. Create a weekly schedule and devote a certain amount of learning time every day. This can be an hour or even a total of 3 hours. This will boost your grades as well because you learn how to be a responsible student. Depending on whether you're in high school or college, that amount will vary, and also varies by field of study. Make sure that you stick to your schedule as much as possible, often, don't be afraid to abandon the plan to prepare further for the new upcoming review. Make sure it is practical and not impossible for this study plan.
3.) Find and identify your strength in studying techniques
This is effective if you know what kind of memorization will favors you whether it is remembering the first letter of the words, knowing the principles or thoughts, enumeration then knowing the meanings, writing while learning, read loud technique and many more techniques that you will feel comfortable while memorizing and understanding the lessons for your exams.
4.) Clear your feelings on something that is not relevant to the topic you're learning.
Thinking unnecessary things will make you distract when you are studying and it can a result of incorrect details that you remember when you are currently taking the exams. If you think a lot, take a moment to write some notes about what you're thinking and how you feel before you begin to research. This helps to clear your mind and concentrate on your tasks.
5.) Do not use gadgets if you don't need it for your studies
Electronic devices are one of the toughest distractions to learn. They are connected to the social media, you receive text over your phone and the Internet is connected to your laptop. Silence your mobile phone, or carry it in your bag so that someone's calling or teaching you won't interrupt you. Don't open or connect your laptop to the internet if you can unless you need it for your study, just avoid doing anything that are not important to consume your time wisely.
6.) Good place will enable you to boost your concentration when you are studying
You should feel relaxed, so you can enjoy your studies. You can find something much more attractive if you dislike sitting in a library at the table, such as your couch, or your beanbag chair on the floor. Try to study in comfy clothing. But remember not to make it too comfortable because it can help you to fall asleep.
7.) Listen to a background sound only
Listening to a song will help you to feel comfortable, but avoid using a sound that has a lyric because it can distract you because of too much word sending direct to your brain that cause of "song lyrics versus lessons" problem when it comes memorizing those lessons.
8.) Highlight the important detail that you read
This technique is very useful because it highlights the main point of a sentence that you read. In short, highlight all the key words.
9.) Summarize the lessons
This technique will help you to avoid unnecessary words that you don't need to memorize.
10.) Do not forget to take a break
Do not forget to take a break because all people have a focusing/attention span or duration when it comes studying. Take 5-minute breaks every half hour if you study for a few hours at a time. This encourages you to lift your joint after a long sitting; it also encourages you to calm your mind, so that you can recall the content more effectively. This helps you not to lose concentration too.
