How can I improve my focus during studying for exams?

Environment: Study how you intend to test. Psychology shows if you study the same way you test you will do better so if you know you will test at a desk, don't lay in bed and study. Tools: Utilize tools that block social media websites for a specific length of time you wish to study. This will prevent distraction. Music: You can also utilize music to improve motivation, but the music must be music that is commonly listened to and predictable. New music results in too much stimulation, but music you are acquainted with can improve focus and motivation. Breaks: Taking timed breaks can also improve productivity because of the creativity that occurs during your brain's downtime.
