Certain clarifications:
When you have body ailments or anxieties, you cannot concentrate.
Soft music is said to be soothing for the nerves and improves concentration.
If you keep up the same time for work each day, the brain gets attuned to it and concentration improves.
When you keep watching the time, you lose concentration.
Taking a break of three minutes, every half an hour, is proved to improve concentration.
When you complain of disturbances, it shows your inability to concentrate.
Concentration depends more on your determination and less on external factors.

I won’t share my result…:)
interesting.
i will check it…
Very good test on the subject of …er,..what was the topic?
Nice one!
Tx for sharing this with me.
I didn’t take the test, but I read it carefully. I have gotten myself used to studying with the radio on that I am really good at blocking distractions when I am trying to study at a library or cafe. sometimes, people around me bother me like the incident last night at Starbucks with the guy talking really loud next to me. But I am sure he was disturbing others around as well. I still get butterflies in my stomach when taking exams. That has never changed. I usually take a break if I am studying for more than 2 hrs. You need it and if you don’t your brain won’t assimilate too much. Great article and test.
Agreat one again, especially the last line applies to me.
Very nice tip. Maybe I get low score because I have diversionary habits.
