If you are a person who is trying to bring up your grades, there are a list of tricks that can help you to boost your facility to sharpen your concentration, absorb the data that you study, and remember it during a test without being tormented by mental blocks or test anxiety. This is a list of how to go about creating good learning behaviors:
(1) Set aside a place for learning and only study in that place! Establish a silent place that will be conducive to a focusing of attention without distractions. Some potential examples would be a library, a vacant classroom, or your home office. You will want to create the behavior of studying when you are in this special place. So it's best to not use your special place for other activities like daydreaming, socializing, or eating, etc.
BE SURE YOUR SPECIAL PLACE HAS:
(a) A comfy seat, but not too comfortable
(b) Your writing desk or table
(c) Excellent light
(d) Sufficient air flow
BE SURE YOUR SPECIAL PLACE DOES NOT HAVE:
(a) Views of other activities that you will be distracted by
(b) A phone
(c) Distracting music
(d) A big screen TV
(e) A companion who talks all the time
(f) A refrigerator filled with sweets
(2) Break up your work into tiny, short-range components.
(a) Set up small specific goals like, "I'm going to study my history from 2 PM to 3 PM. Otherwise you will set yourself up to fail.
(b) Set a doable study goal for the amount of time you are able to set aside. For example: finish reading chapter twelve in my Algebra workbook, or complete an initial draft of my chemistry paper, etc. Set your goals at the time that you are ready to sit down and study, just before you begin. Set reachable goals. You may do more than reach your goal, but set a realistic goal even if it seems way too easy.
(3)Test Phobias
(a) Some students experience physical symptoms for the most part, like nausea, feeling hot or cold, headaches, or faintness, etc.
(b) Other students experience mostly emotional symptoms, like feeling irritable, crying, or getting frustrated quickly.
(c) The main trouble with anxiety is that it can trigger you to have a memory block. Or it could trigger thoughts that are racing out of control.
(d) Although you may experience some level of anxiety while taking an examination, you can learn to diminish that anxiety, or even completely eliminate it!
(e) Feelings of anxiety and the resultant stress are generally the main causes of a lack of the ability to focus your concentration. Stress can also cause a mental block when one tries to recall information.
(f) Hypnosis CD's can be utilized to relax your mind and focus your concentration. As your mind calms down, your ability to stay focused will increase. Similarly, a calm mind enhances your ability to retain information, and recall it when it is needed.
(g) Hypnosis CD's can also be utilized to program your mind for the positive expectation of relaxation and the ability to recall information during a test. This is valuable for diminishing or getting rid of test anxiety. (h) There are a number of NLP methods that can rapidly get rid of a test phobia!
