Question

Resources for studying effectively?

Books/links/tips in general?

Answer 13

While studying, drink a certain drink (preferred anything that isn't water) constantly, and when you are taking the test (if you are allowed) drink the same drink you were drinking while studying. It'll help you remember things a bit easier. You can do this with gum and other stuff

Answer 14

I have always had this question, but how does water help you concentrate? @sammixboo

Answer 15

I'm not sure, but it helps me honestly. Just triggers my mind that I was chewing this (gum) while studying. I can't really explain but I always saw better work when I did that. Also I know that gum helps you concentrate more when you are chewing it. Studying and testing. http://www.bps.org.uk/news/chewing-gum-helps-you-concentrate-longer

Answer 16

I remember during FCAT (A florida testing) they gave us gum for that reason

Answer 17

I also said water isn't preferred, since it doesn't really have a big taste. Something like grape juice or orange juice. Something with a strong taste
