If you are someone who is trying to improve your grades, there are a number of shortcuts that will help you to augment your capability to focus your concentration, retain the data that you study, and recollect it during an exam without being subjected to mental blocks or test anxiety. This is a list of how to go about creating good study behaviors:

(1) Create a place for learning and only study in that place! Establish a silent location that will be conducive to concentration without any distractions. Some possible examples would be a library, a vacant classroom, or your office. You want to establish the behavior of studying when you are in this place. So it's best to not use this place for other activities like daydreaming, socializing, or playing games, etc.

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR STUDY PLACE HAS:

(a) A comfy chair, but not too comfortable

(b) Your desk

(c) Good light

(d) Sufficient ventilation

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR STUDY PLACE DOESN'T HAVE:

(a) Distracting views of other activities

(b) A telephone

(c) Music that will distract you

(d) A large screen television

(e) A companion who talks too much

(f) A refrigerator filled with distractions

(2) Split your study periods into tiny, short-range components.

(a) Set up small precise goals like, "I am going to study my chemistry from 1 PM to 2 PM. Or else you will set yourself up to fall short.

(b) Set a reachable study goal for the period of time you are able to allocate. For example: finish reading chapter fifteen in my English book, or complete a rough draft of my math paper, etc. Set your goals when you you are ready to study but before you actually begin studying. Set reasonable goals. You might possibly do more than reach your goal, but set a realistic goal even if it seems too easy.

(3) Test Anxiety & Phobias

(a) Some people mostly experience physical symptoms, like faintness, nausea, or feeling hot or cold, etc.

(b) Other people experience emotional symptoms for the most part, like feeling irritable, crying, or getting frustrated quickly.

(c) The main trouble with anxiousness is that it can cause you to have a memory block. Or it could trigger thoughts that are racing out of control.

(d) Although you may currently experience some level of anxiousness while taking an exam, you can learn to diminish that anxiety, or even completely eliminate it!

(e) Anxiousness and the resultant stress are usually the main causes of a lack of the ability to focus your concentration. Stress can also cause a mental block when one tries to recollect 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) NLP CD's can also be used to program your mind for the positive expectation of tranquility and the ability to recall information during an exam. This is effective at diminishing or eliminating test anxiety. (h) There are a number of NLP methods that can quickly get rid of a test phobia!
