Answer:
When I studied in university, I used PowerPoint to make presentations which allowed me to quiz myself later. Just set up the slides to automatically display the question, then display the answer when you click (using slide masters). The other upside to this is that if the final exam is cumulative you can easily review your midterm presentation. If you study with friends, you can email it to them and they love it. Try forming study groups - sounds nerdy, but it's effective if you're an extrovert. I could never just take paper notes - too boring. I also listened to music while making the presentations. It helped me when I was easily distracted. Also, make sure to study in a place with less distractions - the library, coffee shop, etc. Anywhere you can't just walk away from the work.

Yeah, Studying can be hard and difficult. I had a few ideas in mind. Like getting more organized. You look like one of those hard working people that are really organized but if you constantly rearrange stuff it will keep you more motivated to studying. This helps me because sometimes I might be all like I want to be in avid, I want to be an A+ student, three words yadi yadi yada and other days I feel like OH I can organize my binder another day,HM today...I shall be dumb, three words blah blah blah.And people will ask me "What happened?"well if I tried rearranging things more often then I would have all As...that is why its important...you probably have no idea what im saying. Eat a balanced diet and exercise enough...you know what they say "breakfast if the most important meal of da day!"And whenever you come home from school,eat a snack,sit down or do whatever you do after school. Try working harder in P.E. that way you will be more energetic,happy and most importantly...motivated Make studying more fun.I remember in fourth grade when our teachers were first explaining Cornell notes it was fun...now that im in middle school it gets kinda boring. What we did in fourth grade was, take a note book.make sure there is a page on each side.fold both papers hot dog style (that's what we called them).on the left or first side write a question.open it up and write the answer.look at the right or second flap.open it up.on the first half write an answer.This is optional but if you would like you can draw a picture as a clue.Fold it back up.Look at the question.open up the right or second flap.look at the clue and maybe the picture.Now it will be easier and more memorable. You could use encouraging words like "you can do it" things like that.Or burn all of you energy working studying and cleaning etc. and then go to bed at a descent hour.This is one of those things that I know might work but not know how.But I hoped I helped -Brit 8}

sometimes studying with another person helps just to make it more interesting. invite a friend over that your comfortable with and use flash cards or something so that they can easily question you and then you answer.

I have the same exact problem. I just can't focus when I study because it's so boring and I know I have so many other things I can be doing. If your school has resource or study hall, just study there because it's the only thing you can do and you won't be distracted. You could go to the library too. Just go to a place where there's no distractions and you have nothing else to do but study.
