Test Preparation
1

<p>Just something fun.</p>

<p>Be specific..</p>

<p>For example, for me I prefer classical music. However, that sometimes gets boring so I mostly love to listen to anime instrumentals. :P How about you guys? What music helps you to concentrate? Or is silence the best policy to go with? :D</p>

<p>Chinese Guquin music. Very serene.</p>

<p>Usually music in another language so I don't get distracted. However, to study for my Spanish AP/SATII exams, I downloaded a ton of (Spanish) Shakira, Juanes, Ricky Martin, etc. songs to completely immerse myself in the language :P.</p>

4

<p>techno...with some words. It has a good effect on my stamina....keeps me going. Artists such as ATB, East Clubbers, and DJ Tiesto.</p>

5

<p>anything with a beat or that i can identify as music...mozart, beethoven, shostakovich (sp), billy joel, gwen stefani, 50 cent, even punjabi stuff. anything works for me! anything!</p>

6

<p>Slow, country music. Stuff that won't distract me too much, but that provides a little calming noise. =)</p>

7

<p>indie stuff...not necessarily good music, just slightly mellow but still good enough to keep me awake. background music. i tune in to the local college station</p>

8

<p>When studying, I prefer the classical instrumentals.</p>

9

<p>metallica is cool</p>

10

<p>classical....mozart....bach....beethoven etc..</p>

11

<p>Jazz- Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, John Coltrane, Woods, Parker</p>

12

<p>Classical music works for me because it is calming but not distracting, and god knows i have enough distractions as it is!</p>

13

<p>Hehe..I get distracted easily as well. For just leisure though I try to listen to French music since I'm taking AP French next year..but there are barely even any nice French songs that have clear articulation..:( </p>

<p>I once asked this french guy what sort of french music is nice..he said: Hm..I'm not sure. French music isn't that great..in fact, french kids listen to english music because it's cooler.</p>

<p>XD</p>

</p>

<p>I did the same thing, but I ended up subconciously learning the lyrics and now I can't stop singing along to them.</p>
