This post presents you some of the most effective study methods that you can implement when studying for your exams or when studying for college. 

Create a good study environment

One of the best places to study effectively is the library as it is a quite environment, where conversations are not tolerated or are only permitted in whispers. A library is also an excellent place where you much likely won´t get distracted as you will be asked to turn off your mobile phone. However, if you prepare to study at home you should look for a place where you won´t get distracted by any means (friends, parents, siblings, TV, internet, telephone, etc.). The better you can avoid distractions the more you can concentrate yourself to study effectively.

Improve your concentration

Concentration is a very important factor as it will help you to direct your whole attention and focus towards what you want to study. Here are some tips that help you to improve your concentration:

• Avoid daydreaming
• Choose a quiet and peaceful study environment
• Avoid distractions
• Be interested in what you have to study

Choose a study time

It is very important to know at what time of the day you are most efficient, as it helps you to use the time when you peak performance to study in an effective way. The following chart shows you the periods when a person is concentrated the most, which is generally in the morning (from approx. 8 AM to 11 AM and in the evening from approx. 5 PM to 9 PM). Try to evaluate the periods when you peak concentration and use this time to study.
