Answers:
Depends, each person has a different learning style.

Try reading it and then summarizing it yourself on paper (or on the computer).

If you can't be bothered to write or type, try explaining it to someone (or your dog or cat). The act of reading, understanding and paraphrasing seems to get it stuck in the memory better than simply reading it. Health Question & Answer

First of all, take a break. Study when you are rested and alert. It is hard to retain anything if you're exhausted.

There is no one right answer to your question. It depends on your learning style. Some people learn better through listening, if you're one of those, reading out loud to yourself or recording the information and listening to it may help. If you're a visual learner, you'll do better just reading the material. Some people learn better with hands-on experience and manipulatives, learning through doing.

Some people like total quiet and no distractions when they study, some need music or background noise to concentrate. Some like to chew on something to help them concentrate (really!) so try breaking out the Bazooka Joe.

Studies have shown that writing down the information greatly helps in retention (the kinetic action helps you "internalize" the information), so making notes as you read might help.

Good luck on your exams.

I study this way (and have tried everything else before that):

I summarize the material, then I read it - until I'm bored and tired.
Then I go and lie down.
If I fall asleep I usually remember what I read when I wake up. And when you've finished resting and feel you can read some more, just remember to take many breaks where you don't do anything.
Just let your mind rest and absorb what you read.

Good Luck!

cut of all distractions first of all.
then, close your door and block out any sound (unless music REALLY helps you study) I personally don't think you can study with music but if it's your thing then go for it. the best way to study can be by teaching someone else or just teaching yourself again. flash cards may help but they aren't the best way...
Overall, you really should block out anything (esp. the internet) that distracts you!! Health Question & Answer

Generally the best times of the day to study is to do so in the morning when you wake up and before you go to sleep. Info that you store at night before you go to sleep will store itself in the memory through the night, and reinforcement in the morning will make the info more concrete and easy to retain and recall.Health Question & Answer

At last praying the god or ask the question will not give the solution my friend.But not to late. Awake early in the morning. If know meditation, do it and start study from 4.30 a.m. onwards. Don't harry-up to next activities. Do all the work in pleastly. Same way night go to the bed early.

Don't try to study when your studying. your brain is only thinking about cramming this information in. Your more focused on getting the information in than actually getting the information. Try making flashcards, study with someone. Health Question & Answer
