in one time,so don't try to study while you are
watching television or while you are doing
something,because it can effect your focus that
can waste your study time.

Here are some suggestions to improve your
concentration :
1. Turn off notifications on your phone
2. Turn off Internet access on your computer
3. Clear the clutter from your study area

Learn the same

information in a

variety ways

The research (Willis,J. 2008) shows tehat different media
stimulate different parts of the brain

make you understand and retain the information .

Read the class notes
Read the textbook
Create a mind map
Teach someone about what you've learn

Don't just passively read your textbook
or your class notes.Study smart by
quizzing yourself on the key concepts
and equations,and as you prepare for a
test do as many questions as you can
from different sources

That's It!!

time,while study hard can reduce your
