Have a quiet environment and concentrate.\n\nPlan your work.  Do the assignments in the order that they are due; do the ones do first first.\n\nPlan for long range assignments, like term papers and class projects.  Don't put them off until the last minute.\n\nStudy every subject every day.  Don't wait for a test to motivate you.\n\nOnly study what you don't know.  If you already know something, skip it and spend your time on what you don't know.\n\nSearch the internet for the phrase "how to study"  You will find loads of great ideas.

Hi,\nWell I think thats a pretty common problem. I get that a lot of time. I would suggest that you take more interest in class. If u are interested in something, u are bound to pay more attention in it. For example, I was really bored of History, but I decided to take it more like a story and I got indulged in it... So, naturally, I got the power to withstand my teacher's soporific powers...

Well, I would recommend talking to your teacher. He or she may let you re-do assignments or do extra projects for more credit.\n\nAlso, ask them what areas you need to improve on. Then work on those things - get extra help with them, look them up on the internet, do more homework that uses them.\n\nYour teacher really is the place to start. Also, do you have any friends who are doing well in the class? You can ask them to help you too.\n\nAnd MOST IMPORTANTLY, always do your homework, and make sure that you understand all of the problems. Don't skip the problems that are hard, figure them out or ask for help. It will all pay off on your next test! Good luck!

The best way is to study at least 12 minutes a day from day one of the class. \n\nTake good notes. Make index cards for vocabulary words. Study the reviews at the end of each chapter.

Sit in the front row, this will help you focus on the teacher and the material and not what is going on around you. This has worked well for me. If you still find yourself getting distracted, try taking notes and NO DOODLING! If all else fails, tape record your lectures for reference later on (you can buy a digital recorder for around $40). If it is a very long class, it will be impossible to pay attention for the entire lecture- talk to your teacher about taking 5 minute breaks when the class seems to be getting restless. Good luck!

I would suggest start to write out the important people and places that you need to know. Another thing that has always worked for me is doing all the reading and all the homework and paying very close attention in class.

Well, you can try to have a time table to arrange between your work & play so that u will not miss out any of your homework. Your homework must be done for it helps you to understand better. You must also revise in a quiet and comfortable environment in order to learn more. If you don't know about something you can refer to your teacher or somebody that can help you. You must also exercise and relax between your study time. This makes you healthier thus you will be able to learn and understand easily. Don't give yourself too much stress. Try something with your ability. Slowly you will improve. You must have your target so that you can work hard towards it. It's only my opinion and there might be better ideas on how to study. Good luck;p

Each time your mind wanders, make a tally in the appropriate section. Keep a card for each day. As your skills build, you will see the number of tallies decrease.\n\nMaximize your energy level\n\nWhen is your energy level at its highest? When are your low energy times? Study your most\ndifficult courses at your high-energy times. Sharpest early in the evening? Study your most difficult course then. Later in the evening? Work on your easier courses or the ones you enjoy the most. Most students put off the tough studies until later in the evening when they become tired, and it is more difficult to concentrate. Reverse that. Study hard subjects at peak energy times; easier ones later. This alone can help to improve your concentration.\n\nVisualize\n\nAs an exercise before you begin studying; think of those times when concentration is not a problem for you--no matter what situation. Now try to feel or imagine yourself in that situation. Recapture that experience immediately before your studies by placing yourself in those moments. Repeat before each study session.\n\nHow to Improve Your Concentration\n\nLearning to concentrate on reading and studying requires some practice. Concentration doesn't just happen as soon as you sit down to do some serious studying. You already know the requirements for your individual study environment. Now all you need is concentration!\n\nRead "How To Improve Your Concentration" to find some techniques to develop your concentration level for peak performance during your study time. After reading the article, you should be able to:\n\nIdentify four common concentration problems;\n\nExplain five techniques for action to reach the goal of peak concentration;\n\nApply three strategies to combat annoyance during study periods.\n\nHow To Improve Your Concentration\n\nStudents can improve study concentration and study ability by paying attention to the conditions of their study environment. On the other hand, concentration will be limited if study habits are not effective.\n\nYour ability to concentrate on a particular lesson depends on (1) how interested you are and (2) how effective your study methods are. Your interest in one assignment will be different from your interest in others; your interest level may even change during that lesson. Because of the difficulties of your motivation while you do your homework, here is the key to effective study: Depending on your interest level at a particular time of study, adapt your study techniques to strengthen your concentration when it is weak.\n\nWhat are the common reasons students lack interest or lose interest during study time?\n\nCommon Concentration Problems\n\nDuring a period of study, there are four times you may have problems with concentration. These are common times which challenge most of the students and you will often have to strengthen your concentration when they happen.\n\nWhen you are "warming up" to study, distractions will interrupt your attention.\n\nWhen you have been concentrating hard on your studying, you may suddenly become annoyed with the assignment.\n\nAfter a long stretch of continuous studying, you gradually become tired and your study results decrease.\n\nWhen you have come to the point of "diminishing returns" and you are losing mental effectiveness, exhaustion takes over.\n\nWhat do you think the student can do to improve concentration in these four examples? Here is an illustration that represents a student's ups and downs of concentration during a study period of over 2 1/2 hours.\n\nWarm-Up: Student should spend time in conditioning one’s own mind for studying.\n\nAnnoyance: After 35 minutes of intense concentration, the student's attention starts to weaken. Break time! Two 5-10 minutes breaks helps to get the concentration level back up.\n\nDiminishing Returns: The third time the student was annoyed by studying, but it was not possible to reach the same peak level of concentration.

As a teacher, I could offer a few tips:\n\n1. Ask your teacher for extra help after school. He or she should be willing to make sure you understand the subject; plus it shows the instructor that you truly care. In addition, see if you can get a classmate to tutor you in any subject you might have difficulty in.\n\n2. Conduct group studies. You'd be surprised to discover how much you can learn studying with friends -- if you remain on topic. Creating a study group the night or two before a big exam could really help you prepare.\n\n3. Eliminate distractions during your study time. Turn you cell phone on vibrate. Turn off the television. Don't pay attention to your AIM. Give your text/notebook/worksheet your undivided attention.\n\nThese are just a few that should help your study habits.

First, get yourself some caffiene. :) Gather all the materials you can - textbook, workbook, notes, charts, audio, video, etc. Make a trip to the library or borrow extra materials from someone else, if you can. Everything helps! Find a quiet place where you can read and practice speaking without being disturbed. You really want to focus! \n\nThen start from the beginning. The reason it's so hard to catch up when learning a language is that everything builds on the material before it. Go back to the level where you were up to speed, and read everything very carefully. Do all the practice questions, no matter how easy. Speak loudly and confidently to help develop your pronounciation. The trick is to work at a steady pace, trying to make sure you understand each concept before you move on, and to expose yourself to as much of the material as possible. Write out the answers, and say everything as you write it out. You need to use as many of your senses as possible to take in as much information as you can.\n\nIf you are able, work with a tutor or find someone else who is in the class and ask them what has been focused on the most, and if they have any notes you can borrow - you never know how helpful looking at the material in a different format can be.\n\nSome other tips: Getting a good night's sleep is particularly important before a language test.\n\nMake flashcards for and/or write out everything you can, including common questions and answers, even if it seems repetitive. Just the act of writing it down might help.\n\nListening is probably the most difficult part. Spend a lot of your time reading along with the audio, to familiarize yourself with the sound of new words and phrases.\n\nDon't get overwhelmed. If you have until next week, you have enough time to cover a lot of material that you've missed. It's not nearly as good as learning it over weeks or months, but do your best and you'll be okay. Bonne chance!

You need to read it, say it, highlight it.  That way you are using every part of your brain.  Plus going to class also helps!

Get out a piece of paper and begin brainstorming. Write random things down on the paper. When you are done, start thinking about them, and then figure out how to turn your thoughts into a daydream. You can daydream about things you would like to do, or see. This makes the time pass so fast, that when you look up at the clock, the hour is over, and it is time to go to the next class. \n\nFold your hands on your desk and look around the classroom, or at someone else. Even better, put your head down on your desk. When you do this, make sure you sit at the back of the room so that maybe your teacher will not see you. \n\nGet out a piece of paper and start drawing. This could also be an opportunity for you to learn something useful. The night before, go to Google and look up how to draw things. Print off a few things, and take the time during the boring class to brush up on your artistic skills! \n\nTake out a pen and a notebook and start to write a story. It doesn't matter how good you are, just start writing about whatever comes to mind\n\nPlay quiet writing games instead of taking notes so you look like you're paying attention.\n\nContinuously stare at somebody for the entire lesson without speaking, and if you can do it,blinking. Make sure that there is no expression on your face and it will really freak them out and will be more fun for you! \n\nPurchase a caffeinated beverage before class such as coffee or cola. It is also a good idea to bring a little snack that is easily hidden\n\nWear as few items of clothing as possible if you want to stay awake, the cold will help\n\nHide more interesting reading material: prop open your textbook and conceals a book or magazine inside it. In addition, it does not hurt to pretend to take notes from time to time. \n\nSend text messages on your cell phone. Engage in a text message conversation with your friends inside or outside of your class. Make sure your phone is in silent mode so you do not draw attention to yourself\n\nPlay games on your cell phone, PDA, or iPod. Be inconspicuous when attempting this. \nPlay Suduku or do a crossword to pass the time\n\nThings You Should Avoid Doing During a Boring Class\n\n\nRepeatedly looking at the clock to see how much time is left in your boring class. By doing this your are setting yourself up for the classic, "I have 15 minutes left!!!". \n\n Making eye contact with a professor. \n\nMaking it obvious that you are not paying attention to the professor during class. \n\nDrawing attention to yourself by talking, sleeping, eating loudly. \nBringing a snack that creates a lot of noise when eating it, such as apples, chips, and food in loud wrappers. These items will attract unwanted attention to yourself, which of course is not good. \n\nor just get over with it. Even though you do not like that class, just try to treat that class like any other job you have. Who knows, you might learn something very interesting by the time you're done!

You can make notes.You can try asking your teachers about the questions which you are unable to understand.Also you can discuss the lesson with your friends.It helps you somewhat.

Here are a few tips:\nAlways keep the class lively by asking them questions related to the lesson and giving them related puzzles to solve.\nTry to interact more often rather than just explain every sentence in the textbook.\nImprove speech. Your voice and the way you talk could go a long way in your teaching carreer.\nIt's evident from the way you asked the question that your grammar could do with some improvement too. It'll help you explain any doubts the students might have about word problems.\nImprove patience level. Math is a subject which torments students and very often many students come to you with the same doubts. Don't snap at them. Patiently clear each and everyone's doubt.\n\nI hope these helped you. Have a successful teaching life!
