From birth I have been gifted with an able mind that to all intents and purposes should have allowed me to excel in my studies. However, a series of unfortunate events occurred one after another, placing pressure onto my psyche over a period of time, and I, for the lack of a better word, cracked. I gave up entirely on scholastic pursuits and wallowed in self depression for the better part of this year before I broke out of it. As it is, I have willingly decided to retain for a level next year so as to correct past mistakes. However, as of the current I have been finding it increasingly difficult to focus whenever I attempt to study. It is an eventuality that I be distracted and procrastinate.

I seek to ask any successful scholars upon this site as to how they achieve the the feat, for it seems that I have long since forgotten it.

hard to focus? then dont study till the last min
estimate the minimum time needed to finish everything in one shot
then do the studying at the time such that it ends on the day before the paper

under all that stress u should be able to focus
cos if u dont u will not make it on time

but of cos its risky

Consistency.

Revise your work daily. Take your weekends off. Monday-Friday is more than enough if you do revise daily.

Playback the moment when you're confident and motivate. Keep repeating that moment in your mind and you will achieve it.

#1 Understand

Eh heh heh. I am a happy go lucky type of student. I do put effort to study, but I also slack equally as much. So I might not have the right to say this.

But I do get pretty okay grades with all the little efforts I put it. 3.5 GPA (not trying to brag here, sorry. haha)

Erm, in class, I try to listen attentively and put down important notes( when i say important notes, I mean things that you know you usually will forget, or out of textbooks teaching) Talk less and listen more.

Also cracking a joke with classmate about the current teaching topic do help you to remember it most of the time. It also lightens the tension of the stern atmosphere in the class.

Always clarify questions no matter how lame that question can be.

When you know you lack of practice(for calculations/formulars/lab practicals) Do spend a few hours to recap yourself and familiarize yourself to it.

I will spend 1-2weeks before hand to revise on my studies. hope this helps. Do take breaks during revision. Watch 1 episode of anime(typical 24-25min episode), food break, coffee break or something after 2-4 hours of revision. Your mind need as much rest during these breaks as possible.

Hope this helps?
