One of the most terrifying things on Earth is the period of time when one has to concentrate on nothing but

that open textbook. How can you concentrate in a per fect way that won't affect your studies? EditSteps 1 Take out a piece of rough paper and list the rows from 1-10. Then, before you hit the books, brainstorm 10 'pros' on why you should concentrate. Don't even th ink about the 'cons', because you'll never come up with the 'pros' if you think about the 'cons'. And, list out the objectives that you'll achieve after your st udies. This will help you concentrate as you will get what you want or achieve s omething from the 'pros'. 2 Get everything you need for your revision, pencil, eraser, pen, sharpener, etc within your reach so that you are not distracted while studying. Have a snack that is filling, e.g. peanut butter crackers. This will help your m ind stay focused. Don't drink coffee, tea, or any other energy drinks. It will m ake you feel tired. 3 Make a timetable. You can't really concentrate if you read, read, and read aga in for 24 hours straight. The best thing is 30-60 minute periods with 5-15 minut e breaks in between. Get the most important things done first. Don't waste time trying to remember everything. Take it one step at a time, there's no need to ru sh. 4 Prepare a full set of rough paper, note sheets, stationery, and files. Have yo ur books and some reference titles nearby. Don't hop up in the middle of revisio n to get anything as it may be very distracting. 5 If you can't seem to get yourself to study, think about what you'll do when yo u grow up. Do you want to get a good job as a engineer, doctor, lawyer or work i n a dairy or the gas station? 6 Learn how to make mind-maps which can really help during revision. Use colour pencils and illustrations to make the mind map more interesting. 7 You must have a quiet place to study with a bottle of water to keep you energi sed and proper lighting in your room. Do not study right in front of a TV becaus e you will only do your homework when the advertisements come up. As entertainin g as the show looks, you must not let your mind drift to the television program, which is why you should do your homework in a quiet place without distractions. 8 For some people music helps them concentrate. For some it doesn't. Try it out and see what you think works best for you. Do not listen to music on your headph ones. Listen to it through your speakers. 9 Turn your mobile phone into silence and don't put it anywhere near you when st udying! 10 Before ending the session, check your objective list. Whether you've complete d all, or you just half way through. This will give out motivation. Don't postpo ne things or procrastinate. Good Luck!
