Study Tips for Concentration

Studying, whether it be for Bible Quizzing or school, is about more than just reading and re-reading. It is also about finding a way to concentrate your attention, and avoid distraction from the outside. Here are some tips on concentration to help focus your mind, and keep it on-task. (Some of these may be familiar from the weekly "study tips" feature during the Quizzing Season. But good advice rarely gets old.)
- Stick to a routine, efficient study schedule
- Study in a quiet environment
- For a study break, do something different from what you've been doing (e.g., walk around if you've been sitting), and in a different area
- Avoid daydreaming by asking yourself questions about the material as you study it
