How to concentrate while studying ?

Pre-view: Brings to mind about the topic of a chapter and prepares you for learning more. To preview a chapter, read the title, introduction, heading, and the summary or conclusion. Also, examine all visuals such as pictures, tables, maps, or graphs and read the caption that goes with each. By previewing a chapter, you will quickly learn what the chapter is about.

Recalling: Once u complete previewing u will come to know topic of that topic of that chapter then recall what u know about the topics o that chapter.

Question: You need to have question in your mind as you read. Questions give you a purpose for reading and help you stay focused on the reading assignment. Form question by changing each chapter heading into a question. Use the words who, when, where, why, or how to from questions

For example, for the heading “Uses of Electricity” in a chapter about how  science improves lives, you might question “What are some uses of electricity ?” If a heading is stated as a question, use that question. When a heading contains more than one idea, form a question for each idea. Do not form question for the Introduction, Summary, or Conclusion.

READ: The information that follows each heading to find the answer to each question  you framed. As you do this you may decide you need to change a question or turn it into several question to be answered. Stay focused and flexible so you can gather as much information as you need to answer each question.
