Mozart, Sibelius..all that thingy...evidently rises your brain activity(temporarily) 5%.

A nice study area is a must. Plants preferably to keep the oxygen level up in the room and your mind fresh.

Comfortable chair is a minus. You'll feel too comfortable and your mind will lull a bit. Get a sturdy chair with good back support. If your ass ain't feeling it, your mind ain't learning it.

Water and vegetables. Definetly no sweets! Energy drinks, sugary stuff... only good if you stay up late studying and need to keep your eyes open. But don't stay up late, cause if you don't sleep, the mind can't locker all the new info. 7.5hours(or your own needed time) is a good amount of sleeptime and the minimum you should get for best performance. Don't oversleep. Water and vegetables are the natures "patch and aid" for your body and mind so those things will help your study a lot.

And finally....

Music doesn't work for all people, especially if you are learning by rote as you can fall into a trap of recall of the knowledge being linked to the music..

THe main things I would say are.

Try to relax
Take regular breaks
Get lots of sleep
Reward yourself for successful study periods.
Don't do what I did and get stoned whilst studying x_x
And realise in the long run that exams aren't all that important if you do well you do well if you don't you can always make a good living in IT

Study high, take tests high and get high grades you know
One of the very conclusions of "How High"

I cba to study, freddyshouse and daoc is much more fun

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Also, apple tea is supposed to help (vitamin C plus other shite in it).
Unplugging the phone too (Bastard thing)
Putting all your games in someone elses care temp (needs no explenation)
Playing "Best Porn Soundtracks, vol1 - 3" is supposed to be relaxing (Great guitar music there, honest!)

And finally...

FFS, Dont turn on the telly! (DAoC comes under games).

what he said, last years exams only reason i could remember the stuff was because i was singing KUNG FU FIGHTING!! in my head lol

im taking the "get lots of sleep (to make up for the last year ) and relax" approach this time

Always found having the TV on in the background helped, had to concentrate to block it out and knew that if I was taking in what was on TV I wasn't concentrating hard enough.

Never worked with the radio on though, probably cos tended to get the tunes stuck in my head.

Is that an offer?

You fail for most obvious response!

I'm doing this total bastard of a project atm and after the teacher was 'literally' a twat about the whole thing it just makes me wanna blitz the whole thing and blow her tiny mind to pieces with my abundant brilliance ......I fear however that in my lingering resentment I may just stare at the screen for the next three days imagining horrible ways she could meet her fate

I've got the ergo thing going on and music is on...plenty of good food and snax. I wonder if giving up smoking has made this seem more important than it really is....hmmmm.

If you're trying to study, get the fuck off the forums you mong.

Best study method imo is to put what your learning into practice. When I was doing my Business Alvl I asked the guy I worked for if I could have old copys of his accounts/etc so I could get practice balancing them. (anyone thats done Profit/Loss/etc/etc could back me up on how annoyingly frustrating it can be the balance the fucking things. Especially when you've got a time limit )

However, if your insistant on studying make sure to take a 5min break every 20mins - and by break I mean go make tea or coffee. Do NOT sit down and watch TV or anything else which will take your mind off studying.
