Study techniques?

Hello hello
I'm interested in how you study- the techniques, how long for, how often etc.
Whatever you do, name it! I really need to improve my study habits... haha

Do my work usually after dinner til its complete. If I dont have much because I did it in frees at school I will use that time to revise aswell. I try to get my work done as soon as possible. Never put due dates in my diary so I dont leave it til the night before. (If im unsure when its due then I better get it done just incase its p1 the day after!)

Yeah I've been trying to see if I could fit in homework before dinner and then study after dinner, but it's just so hard! I get so distracted really easily :(

yea i try and use the same technique as it always means you can get more help from the teacher before the rest of the class needs help if they are struggling.

Not at all! It's great to have music!
I work with either pop, rock or classical
Anything else distracts me too much :D

When I do number crunching maths I put on K-pop or J-pop.

When it's more theoretical proofs, I never listen to music.

Really? That's interesting! Maybe I be able to do proofs quicker if I don't distract myself

Yeah, how can you think if you have music playing... maybe it's just me but my brain tries to visualise the maths symbols and stuff but when I have music playing my mind visualises the lyrics and shit

but yeah if it's just regular VCE maths i always listen to music
