Top Ten Tips For Increasing Concentration



1. Start assignments with some curiosity about the material and a positive attitude toward
learning.
2. Designate a place where you go only to study. Use proper lighting.
3. Identify your distractions. Find ways to decrease them or to postpone them until study
breaks (e.g., taking the phone off the hook, turning off instant messenger).
4. Decrease noises around you while studying. If you need some background music it should
be soft. Keep the TV off.
5. Use "active study" techniques: sit straight in a chair at a desk, start out with questions
about the material, outline chapters, underline key phrases after readinga section, write
notes in margins, ask yourself what you have learned.
6. Divide your work into smaller manageable tasks that can be completed in a short period
of time. Push yourself to complete one small task, then move on to the next task. Focus on
one small task at a time.
7. Use times of peak alertness for studying difficult or less interesting topics. When you are
tired or hungry concentration will be lowered.
8. When your mind starts to wander come up with some cue words to say to yourself (e.g.,
"Focus." "Get back on task.") to focus your concentration again.
9. Take breaks when you have completed tasks or when you feel concentration has
decreased. Breaks should be approximately 10-15 minutes.

10. If you have other assignments or issues on your mind write them down on a "to do" list or
take a small step to deal with them. Then get back to focusing on the task at hand.

doesn't mean that poor handwriting always costs. Actually what matters
is writing neatly, make sure that examiner understands what you have
written.

1. Use Black pen to write title and subtitles.
2. Give diagrams wherever necessary.
3. Wherever possible use scale for drawing.
4. Underline the key words.
5. Always start a new question on a new page.
6. If there is any mistake don't make it look shabby by scratching it many times; just put a line over it.
