Answer 2

concentration is one of the hardest things.

it can't really be taught.

to be completely honest with you, I feel like a hypocrite attempting to provide you with advice or some insight.

I just finished with my junior year, and have studied SO hard. I mean I had 2 allnighters per week. AT LEAST 2. So, I'm really burned out right now. It's really horrible because I have 3 SAT subject tests to take in the fall of my senior year, which isn't too far away from today. Anyway, what I try to do is stay away from the internet/phone. Study in secluded room without any distractions. If music is going to help you study longer, then use it. For me, if music was nonexistent, then seriously those all-nighters would have been impossible. Or, if you have a friend, study with them. I did that all of last summer prepping up for the SAT I test. We all met at my friends house, the biggest/luxury house (so it was sweet!), and we ate food and studied for the SATs 5 hours a day. 1 of those hours were probably not productive. Nevertheless, how could I have done 4 hours of SAT studying ALONE? Definetely not/
