I can't make myself work :(

[Tutti Frutti]

I can't seem to work. My eyes just skim over the words, but nothing goes in. I have 3 assessments very soon and I just can't seem to get anything done at all. Can anyone help me? I'm struggling!

i have a similar problem, although with me i think it's just laziness to be honest. all i can suggest is revising section by section, a little bit at a time. don't revise solidly for more than about half an hour before taking a break. idk, listening to my ipod seems to help me to concentrate, but it doesn't work for everyone.

Yeah I wish I knew the cure for that one! I have a test tomorrow and I haven't even started studying yet! eek!

After high school, I was forced to practice better study habits and create a better work ethic. What you should do is make a list of everything you need to get done for the week. Say you have a 30 page chapter to read in 5 days... breaking it up, do 8 pages one night, then 7 the next, 8, then 7 again then have one night off to review what you've read, or split it up however you'd like, but make sure you do it, and make sure you write it on a list. When you see it on the list, it might make you a little nervous if you skip a night and see that you must complete 15 pages in one night rather than 7 or 8, so this may make you want to finish your work and not pile it on for the next night. Do this with not only reading assignments, but every other kind of assignment you have to do also! Good luck

And to add: Make sure they you read slow enough that you retain what you're reading. Take it one sentence at a time and read it 10 times over again if you have to! Taking notes on what you read might also be helpful.
