    During 5th year,I didn't pay attention in class at all and mitched from time to time...
    but this year, I copd on but finding it hard to study...:(
    when I try to study,I end up staring at random things and worrying about all the other things I have to study for...:(
    any ideas...?

    From what you've said it looks as though you need will power and motivation above all else. Look up the movivation threads that were popping up here recently.

    If there's a task that must be done,
    Don't turn your tail and run,
    Don't pout, don't sob,
    Just do a half-assed job!

    If. You.

    Cut every corner then it's really not so bad,
    Everybody does it, even mom and dad,
    If nobody sees it, then nobody gets mad,

    It's the Transition year way!

    The policeman on the beat
    Needs some time to rest his feet
    "Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!"

    And the clerk who runs the store
    Can charge a little more
    For meat!
    For meat!

    And Milk!
    And milk!

    From nineteen-eighty-fouuuuurrrr....

    If. You.

    Cut every corner you'll have more time for play,

    It's the Transition year waaaaaaaayyy!

    Sounds like you need motivation. From MOTIVATION WOLF!

    I realise that messed the page up!

    I just do the study plan thing. Pick a section/chapter, read it, make notes, try exam questions and check my answers on the examinations.ie marking schemes. If you don't really have a structure to your study, it'll probably be no help. ORGANISATION!

    If you cant focus then write your notes out, summarize them into main points, and keep writing them out. You'll find you start writing them without the book r whatever eventually, then finally condense them down to main words and you will have a list of key words to help you remember the lot.Over Xmas make sure you plan a study routine, eg say Mon Tues Wed in between Xmas Day and New Years you study a topic from each subject for 30 mins or an hour, and alternate between subjects you like and dont like.

    Nobody can answer this for you I'm afraid. Eveyone has a way of study that works best for them, it took me quite a while before I figured out my way which is writing and reading and doing exam questions straight after. I know it seems kinda obvious but I know people who get better grades than me and they just read the book through.

    You need to separate your tasks and focus on one thing at a time. And while you're on that one thing, don't worry about the other stuff. Spend 30 minutes or 45 or whatever works for you on each individual area.

    Make up a timetable for your day and divide it up to include breaks and study time for each subject or part of a subject.

    What worked for me when I was doing my leaving was writing stuff out, over and over, and doing loads of mock exams.

    I also liked motivation wolf's advice :pac:

    Good luck!
