Q&A for How to Have Fun While Studying

The College Board posts extensive amounts of YouTube videos that are AP exam-specific. There are hours and hours of them for every AP exam, so try to choose ones that are most relevant to what you need to learn. You can also set your YouTube speed function to 1.5 speed, which can help you go through those videos a little faster.

The answer to this depends on your personal preferences. Some people find that the study group or pair option helps them to stay motivated and learn a lot through exchanging information, testing each other and discussing hard problems, etc. However, others find it to be distracting, especially if it ends up in gossiping, playing games or chilling out instead of studying. You'll need to try both ways out, to assess what works best for you, without assuming there is either a right or a wrong way.

The best way is to not be at home where there is a large amount of distractions. Try going to a library or somewhere where you're forced to sit and study. Make sure you put your phone on vibrate and only check it when you take breaks (every 30 minutes).

Of course! Many of this methods will work just fine if you are studying for a test or exam. In addition to these methods, try not to think about whether or not you will pass your exam. This may cause you to start worrying. It is a lot more difficult to have fun while you are feeling worried or stressed.

You don't need to copy others. Think about yourself. Breaks are necessary to freshen up your mind and increase concentration.

Just enough time to refresh your mind; 10 or 15 minutes is plenty. Don't get distracted or do anything that will pull you away from your studies.

It totally depends upon you. If you can continuously study for 2 hours sitting on a chair, you can. However, some prefer to take breaks at intervals of thirty minutes.

Yes, you should find a study place. It could be in your house, a library or even your favorite coffee shop.

This depends on what gets you distracted the most. Is it's technology such as your phone or laptop put those away. You can even lock them up and ask someone else to keep the key for as long as you have to study. If it's the noise or basically just the location, go somewhere else, like a library. If after all of this, you still can't figure it out, then you may have ADD or ADHD, and might want to go for a check up.

Don't stay up all night studying. You need your rest. You'll have a better chance of remembering everything and doing better on the test if you have a good night sleep. Just review the material before you go to sleep and again before you take the test and you should be fine.

Have a chull sheet. When any thought comes in your mind write it on your chull sheet, which means waste, and decide that after studying you will think about that thought. After studying look at your sheet and think about those thoughts if it is important to do so. If it's not, throw it out.

Sure. You can make studying a game where you all take turns being the quizzer -- or you can play studying charades.

Find someplace outside, if it's not too distracting.

Tell her that MIckey or her\his favorite cartoon character will meet with her if she studies. Then buy a costume without telling your cousin and put it on. If she studied, surprise her and act like the character.

You can listen to classical instrumental music or search for music for studying or homework or to increase concentration. It varies from one person to another.

Sure. You can also use markers (especially neon ones).

Try to eat healthy snacks, like fruit, nuts and dairy. Avoid eating too much oil and too many sweets. Drink water often.

Yes, but don't get distracted by making it the best drawing you ever made; just draw simple sketches.

Try not to focus on the day of the exam; instead, direct your attention to the journey of of studying to acquire knowledge.

If you're asking about having fun while getting good grades, you could study with a friend or make fun study games, like a board game with your math or history questions. If you're asking how you can still have fun outside of school work, then you just need to structure your schedule with time for both studying and playing every day.

You could ask someone to join you in making different quizzes and involve snacks and try to look at interesting points when you study. Do not look at it like like studying -- instead, make it a fun time of discovering new things.

Try switching it up. You could switch subjects, rooms, your study method, etc. Also, you could eat a small snack while doing some easy studying as a break from some hard studying. Taking a break is really best if you can though. Breaks help your brain process the information better, and you don't have to just sit there. You can find something you enjoy doing and focus on that for a few minutes.

If you have a friend, make some questions about what you're studying or do some positive action while you're studying.

Find a place in your house that you want to use as a study. Remove anything distracting or noisy, and ask your family to please be quiet around that area. If you want to block that area off, you could hang blankets around to serve as 'walls.'

It can be, as long as there are few distractions.

Tell yourself an earlier due date, so you can get the assignment done early. If it is due next Tuesday, tell yourself that it is due Friday. That way you have your weekend, and you are all caught up with that class.

You can play one round of an online game, go for a small walk, play with slime, or really anything that doesn't take long.

Make studying fun. Highlight the important points in your text book. Use colorful materials like highlighters, post-it notes, bright colored pens, etc. Work hard, but try to make a game of studying when you can. Flashcards are really effective. Study somewhere you can have total concentration without distractions. Make a timetable to keep track of when everything is due, when you have tests, etc. and look at it every day. Devote at least 2-3 hours to study after school every day.

You can if that works for you, but many people find it best to wake up a little first. Perhaps jump in the shower and eat breakfast, then get to studying.
