Answer 1

I would suggest figuring out what you're learning style is. When you know how you learn you can figure out how best to study to retain information, not get distracted, and make good use of your time.

I would suggest taking the little quiz and reading the info on this site:

A lot of people have misconceptions about studying - it doesn't have to be a chore. You can study with other people, make games out of it, and minimize your studying so you have time for other things. Try making flashcards and carrying them with you so that you're only using them when you're in the car, waiting in line, or during commercials. You're studying and all of the little efforts you put in add up fast - especially if it's memorization through repetition.

To keep it from getting too boring try going on a walk and taking some flash cards, note cards for a speech, or just your thoughts. Figure out what you need to do and prioritize to make good use of your time. Taking a walk will help you keep awake and alert and will keep you from just resorting to snacking. :)

And when you are studying - remember to take breaks! It's not healthy to just sit and read or memorize things for hours on end. You don't remember the information, you'll make yourself drowsy, and you may cause a headache or eye soreness.

The person before me had really good advice, too! So anyway, try one or a couple of those things and see if they help!

Good luck! :)

Answer 2

Get involved in class.  Have fun.  Pay attention.  It is fun and makes studying a lot easier.

Answer 3

Ok, first what are you studying? The content can help a little with answering this.

In general:

a) Don't study at home, there's too many things to take your attention, use an empty lecture room and study on your own.

b) Don't skip breakfast, this will run you low on energy and cause you to be agitated.

c) Do homework as soon as school is over before you go home, stay at school and do it.

The most common enemy of study is distraction, a computer or TV nearby is too tempting. Removing these temptations from your environment is usually the best solution.
