We found a killer list of con­cen­tra­tion strate­gies for stu­dents.

This list is per­fect for those who want to know the best way to cram for an ex­am. Check this out:

Eat Fre­quent Small Meals

Avoid eat­ing a big meal be­fore a study ses­sion. Too much food will send your body in­to a 'rest' mode. On the oth­er hand, don't starve your­self ei­ther. Fre­quent small meals are best.

Drink Wa­ter Of­ten

Drink plen­ty of wa­ter dur­ing a study ses­sion, es­pe­cial­ly when you feel slug­gish. Caf­feine may help you to stay awake, but it can in­crease your anx­i­ety – use it in mod­er­a­tion.

Don't Get Too Com­fort­able in Your Chair

Choose a chair that sup­ports your back. It should be com­fort­able, but not too com­fort­able. Just like an ath­lete dur­ing a per­for­mance, your body should be re­laxed, so that all your en­er­gy goes to where it mat­ters – your brain.

Clear Your Desk of Every­thing You Don't Need

Have every­thing you need on the desk. Put away what you do not need for the study ses­sion. See­ing re­minders of oth­er as­sess­ments or do­mes­tic bills may in­crease your anx­i­ety and dis­tract you.

Stretch Dur­ing Your Breaks

Know and re­spect your con­cen­tra­tion span which will vary from hour to hour and from day to day. When you sit for long pe­ri­ods it can be­come frus­trat­ing. When you take a break, take a few deep breaths and get more oxy­gen to your brain: try walk­ing around and do­ing some light stretch­ing for a few min­utes. It will help to re­lease ten­sion in your body, help your cir­cu­la­tion and gives your whole body time to re­ju­ve­nate. You'll feel bet­ter, and it will prob­a­bly make your mind more fo­cused when you re­turn.
