it helps me...when i'm studying in the library in school, the music helps me block out everyone walking by and talking...when i am at home, music also helps me study by keeping me focused...just don't blast your music-otherwise it will distract you..just keep it low! good luck!

Answer 11

I think it's different for each person. I personally always have music when I study. Otherwise I start drifting off and thinking of other things.  

Answer 12

When I was in school I likes soft music as backround noise to block out other noise.  I found I got alot more work done and retained the material much better if I had some soft backround music playing.

Answer 13

It can help you to concentrate, but according to a study I read a while ago, it can hurt more than help. Basically, the study said if you listen to music and study, often in order to remember the information, you have to hear the song you were listening to, or at least have it in your head...So, I refrain from listening and studying, but that is merely my preference.

Answer 14

I've heard that it distracts you but I do it and get good grades.  So I guess it just depends on the person.

Answer 15

Hope it helpss

Answer 16

Yes, but if you listen to rap or pop, anything like that, It wont help. listen to something lite. Also chewing gum helps me too.

Answer 17

I usually will chew gum or something like that, it tends to help me to relax and concentrate, or drink a big bottle of water a little at a time. Music SOMETIMES helps me to study, but only if it is soft and experimental music, alot of instrumental breaks. Nothing by a favorite artist or something that is very upbeat because I am going to have hard time concentrating.
