Staying Focused

<p>How do you guys stayed focused while studying? I feel like every time I pick up my SAT World review book, I fall asleep. The words just don't absorb and I'm really worried because I only have 13 days until the subject test.</p>

<p>Play music if it gets you pumped up. Be interactive when you are studying - take notes, use colorful highlighters, make an outline. You need to do more than just sit down and read it, (which I agree doesn’t sound super exciting) If all else fails, perhaps youtube rapid review sessions are better for you. Don’t try and read it all in one try, have study periods, take breaks, exercise, get energized. Then reward yourself after getting through it all.</p>

<p>Many quick breaks. Studies show that long periods of study aren’t very effective. A 5 minute break every half hour works for some.</p>

<p>Read out loud. Put emotion in your voice, do accents, be sarcastic, pretend you already know it and you’re explaining it to someone else, whatever. </p>

<p>Thanks, everyone!</p>

<p>Good luck. I’ll be taking the same test the same day.
Lol I’m not studying for it… Like at all. </p>
