Trouble Focusing on Studying

Question

Alright, so it's the middle of the summer, obviously not the most ideal time to study, but I have to/want to so I can do amazing on the SAT.

Can anyone give me tips/tricks to help me to get to focus and begin my studying? It seems like whenever I even contemplate to begin studying, even the most dull and boring things become incredibly interesting (like sitting down and staring at the wall.)

Thanks!

Answer 1

For me, I have to have my own room to study in.  So I don't get any extra visual stimulation.  I also have my mp3 player with me.  Because I always need to have background noise, I listen to baroque music (Bach, etc.)  It cuts down on the outside noise but still lets you concentrate.  It also helps to set aside a certain amount of time each day that you only study, at the same time each day if possible. (Trains your brain) Good luck!
