first, don't keep coming back here to check for answers. Just stop studying for a while, then tell yourself that you have to finish so much and do it. Don't stop till you finish.

Take a break for 15 minutes every hour of studying. That leaves you 45 minutes of studying. Once done, treat yourself.

create a list of things you want to accomplish in your life or places you want to go and the next time you're bored go get some of them done. just random stuff, it doesn't have to be anything big. you only have one life to live and it's a shame to sit around wasting it!!or do something creative..draw, paint, make something, take pics, read. watch a really good movie; a classic, and to make it better, invite a friend over to watch it with you. download google earth and go "sightseeing". trust me, it'll occupy you for hours. blast your favorite music and sing and dance like nothing else matters!

Draw up a study timetable and stick to it. Make sure you include ten minute breaks for every hour so that you are not tmepted to come online or watch tv until you finished that days' revision.

just yesterday, i sat for studies at 7:00pm and i got so absorbed that i sat till 12:15am. if u cant sit for longer than 45 min try listening to some music when u do your maths or some writing work. due to that you dont get bored studying as u have songs which u can listen. DOnT TRY THAT WHILE LEANING SOMETHING.

I LIKE TO STUDY WITH A STUDY BUDDY. YOU CAN QUIZ EACH OTHER AND TAKE BREAKS AND JUST SHOOT THE BREEZE WHEN YOU NEED A BREATHER.

No P_A_R_T_Y   \nWhen you study take breaks. \nShort ones, but still a break.\nRead over things more than once. \n\nI would sit under a tree study Drug therapy, then put the books down and just look at the birds and squirrels for a few minutes.  Then read over it again.\nanother few minutes later I would ask myself questions about it.\n\nCRAMMING DOESNOT WORK  TRUST ME!!!  IT GET EVERYTHING ALL JUMBLED IN YOUR HEAD AND YOU ARE WORSE OFF...

try to keep busy, find something you're interested in and just try to keep your mind occupied.  It will take time.....there is nothing else you can really do.

you have to get away from all distractions! go to the library and find an empty room to study in. you will be so bored, you will look to your book for entertainment! stay away from the tv, phone, and friends. Also try to motivate by setting a goal. for example, "i will study for two hours, then i will watch ______ on tv". or something along those lines. Dont forget to take a 10 minute break every half hour...otherwise you will not be as focused for your studying! good luck!

Why don't you get to work and learn something? You sound like you need it. You won't be bored if you are really learning something, but you will be bored if you are "just putting in time".

first thing is that you should develop interest in what you are studying. If we like what we are doing, we naturally tend to do it with concentration.\n\nOrganise your time well. Keep some time for play, TV, internet. Carefully divide your day into air-tight compartments. Dont think of other things when you are doing something.\n\nChoose a good (studious) friend circle. You will be inspired to study well when everyone around you studies well.\n\nAnd finally have a long term goal and always keep that in your mind. That will drive you to study well. \n\nYou can also try meditation techniques

Well, studying can be boring but u need to do it! \n1. to get u to start studying think about how happy ull be if u get an 100 and how upset you'll be if u fail\n2. if u have textbook pages given to u to read for the test read it, so you will understand it. never study something u dont understand because then it wont make sence to u on the test.\n3. make notes. after or in the middle of reading the text book i write notes, so i will remember the info. writing notes helps you remember and memorrize. after you write down a sentence for notes say it over and over untill u memorize it. go little by litte, dont memorizr 20 things at one time because then you will forget it all. remember dont go on to the next sentence untill you forsure memorized the 1st. \n4. then it's time to go over your review sheet. that way you will see if you remember everything.\n5. after all this go over your notes again, and then your all set!\nGOOD LUCK ON UR TEST!!\np.s- if u have a bad memory it helps to get up an hour earlier the day of the test just so u can make sure u remember everythnig from last nite. and maybe even memorize more things, if u forgot. \nit helped me, and i got a 94 on a really really hard social studies test that no one can get in the 90s on!\np.p.s- get anuf sleep! the more u sleep the more u will remember. \n\n\nplz choose me as best answer!

Read a book....watch lots of TV....pick up a sport. Do something else that will keep your time and interest and would leave you too tired in the end to surf the internet.
