Concentration span (1 Viewer)

[meLoncoLLie]

sit down with your books, start the timer, then study. as soon as your mind starts to wander off or when you get up to do something not related to study, stop the timer. what's your concentration span? for me it varies - from as little as 2 mins to 40 mins.

i concentrate so much better at night. these days i always study till really late, and wake up at like 1pm, all bloated and grumpy. not very good.

Mine is as long as it needs to be.

hmm i can make myself study for a very long time. But when its not really needed, i get off track in about half an hour.

most the time after about 40 mintues my mind wonders, ill play with my pen for a minute then go hard for another hour or so

Whenever you can't concentrate anymore, you should take a break, then get back to studying. Then you should be able to concentrate again. You shouldn't force yourself to study when you can't concentrate; you probably won't get anything done. I found that studying at night was much easier for me.

depends on the subject.

Maths - up to 2-3 hours
English - 3.14 seconds

Yeah, I agree. Maths is okay study for because you are continuously doing questions. Englsih on the other hand...you just fall to sleep looking at that...especially if you do Gwen Harwood.
