Answer 1

well, I think you need a motivation.  Such as like your future dream.  If you want to be something then that can motivate you into studying something.  Cause we humans are like naturally working only for something that can benefit ourselves.  Like something for pleasure, some people listen to music or do sports to satisfy their pleasure.  Well, if you feel pleasure in beating everyone else in school then I suggest that you keep in mind that you are going to beat everyone.

Read before you sleep

Sounds like me pwaha, well studying is a hard thing to come to,but its even harder when you just plane don't want to do it. A good way to get into studying is seeing your success in the future and just think how much studying can impact it. :D

Answer 4

It has been proven that it is better to study with day-gaps in between

rather than cramming everything into one or two days

for example, studying on

Monday, Wednesday, Friday

is a lot more effecitive than studying on

thursday and friday, and cramming everything on those last two days

Also, another great studying habit is reading your notes upon arriving

home

don't wait until the few minutes you have before going to bed

when you get home, just read over the notes you took in your classes

during the day

and try and do this on a daily basis

and try to go over the previous day's notes as well

say that it's a tuesday

once getting home go over your monday notes then ur tuesday notes

hope this helps, sure helps me

Make it interesting. My gf uses color pencils whenever she studies so she would make it colorful and show it off as if it is a picture (even draws a whole comic to remember stuff). One thing I do is have someone push me like a study group that actually studies and pushes each other without getting distracted much and can learn from each other. Every hour or so do 30 sit-ups or some quick exercise such as stretching for example so you would have your energy up and keep yourself healthy or you can take a 15 minute break instead and use an alarm clock to make you remember and non distracting music is good too such as classical for example
