How should I improve my concentration in studies?

To improve your concentration-
Stick to a routine- Draw a realistic revision schedule
Incentives - Create an incentive if necessary for successfully completing a task such going out, food treat etc.
Change topics - Changing the subject one studies every one to two hours for variety helps maintain concentration
Varying study activities - At one time, you can do learning, other time practice maths or practice diagrams etc.
Alternate reading with more active learning exercises - if students have a lot of reading to do they can try the PQ4R method which is-
Preview: Survey the material to get anidea ofthe general organization, major topics and subtopics. Look at headings and pictures to try to identify what one will be reading about.
Question: Ask questions about the material as it is read. Use headings to ask questions (who, what, why, where).
Read: Read the material. Try to answer own questions while reading.
Reflect: Think about the material that was just read and try to make it meaningful by: 1) relating it to things that one already knows about, 2) relating the subtopics to primary topics, 3) trying to resolve contradictions, 4) trying to use the material to solve simulated problems.
Recite: Practice remembering the information by stating points aloud and asking and answering questions. Use headings, highlighted words and notes on major ideas.
Review: Actively review the material, focusing on asking yourself questions and rereading the material only when not sure of the answers.
