Chew gum when you study. When taking the exam, chew the same gum. I've heard that will help with your memory. As of the phone. Turn it off. But also take breaks from studying. Walk, eat, get a drink.

Heres what i done last year for my GCSE's, turn your phone off, give it to a parent so you have NO TEMPTATION whatsoever, look at youtube videos on the topic you're revising. Then make notes as the video goes along. Have a 5 min break every hour. Then put your notes on your wall and look over them each day. I wish i could have taken m own adice and done this earlier prior to my exams as i only revised about 3 days before my exams. Start now and revise, trust me revising early will get you good grades! Hope i helped.

Creating a Study Environment
1. Choose an area that will be exclusively used for studying

2. Surround yourself with study aides

3. Study in quiet areas without TVs and radios

4. Do not study in areas where youll fall asleep or become groggy


When to Study

1. Study during the early morning, afternoon, and early evening since youll better retain information. Avoid studying late at night.

2. Study during times when you will not be distracted by friends, extra-curricular activities, or work responsibilities

3. Dont study when youre tired. Get plenty of rest before long study sessions

4. When you can no longer concentrate or become extremely tired, end the study session

How to Study & Concentrate

1. When studying in distracting situations, move to a new setting

2. During study sessions, jot down distracting thoughts. This will enable you to forget them and focus on studying

3. Begin study sessions by identifying goals. This could include the number of homework problems to work through or pages to read

4. Reward yourself for meeting your study goals, which could include going to the movies, reading a book, or other activities you enjoy

5. Structure study sessions by organizing content to be studied into chunks. This will limit boredom during long sessions

6. Schedule periodic breaks to clear your mind

7. Do not study while youre watching TV or socializing with friends

8. If you struggle concentrating, schedule multiple short study sessions

9. Schedule study sessions in advance to avoid possible distractions

10. Remember that friends will not lose respect for you if you miss out on social gathering to study. There will always be time to relax and have fun

11. Plan study sessions around content to cover rather than time. Constantly checking your watch is distracting

Hope this helps!

How are you studying? For me history was a breeze. I never really studied anything to get good grades, but sometimes I would for history. What worked really well for me was mocking things in the book. Just skim the book and mock something that might be important, then you'll see it on the test and look back and know how you mocked it, and then possible remember what it said and why you mocked it.

I would get that phone out of your room! The first time doing my GCSE I messed up I would get bored and take a 10 minute break watching YouTube which would turn in to 3 hours.. The second time Around I learned by this mistake
