if yr studies dont fascinate and intrigue you, you wont have the desire for it....much studying wears the mind down.....i would say fast from it then the hunger or desire would come again |

I just focus on the prize at the end of the exam and that motivates me. I am naturally a lazy student but I can step-up the intensity when I am really motivated. I need to write exams, I haven't written any in quite a while. |

preshuzpearl: I started this exam last weekend and that first one was okay though i stressed myself out a bit. The second stage comes up next weekend and i havent covered the four courses I'm going to write. Problem is, i do not have any drive or motivation to readEnvision what you would be the next thirty years; whether an unemployed-complaining Nigerian or Esteemed member of board of directors in any organisation of your course-study, and let it be the reactor/ instigator to read or not to. We decide our future by our every step. Good Luck! |

sometimes, when you have at the back of your mind that people are watching you for failure, you can be motivated to work even harder. That way, you will give your best effort unconsciously. |

All these advise is good but none is going to work bc OP knows she can always 'block' if she fails. How then can she concentrate? Its standard practice these days for students to set aside 'block money' while preparing for exam. Am sure OP has done that. 1 Like |

preshuzpearl: I started this exam last weekend and that first one was okay though i stressed myself out a bit. The second stage comes up next weekend and i havent covered the four courses I'm going to write. Problem is, i do not have any drive or motivation to read I had the same feeling last week before my papers too...the best thing to do is to leave ur room or ur house and probably check out the school library where there is a bit of distraction...when u see people reading, u'd probably be motivated and it wouldnt be u alone in u room...a very convenient room isnt so ideal for studying trust me. Mingle with study groups and change ur study pattern a bit just to restore the drive to study...it works always. Goodluck in ur exams. Cheers |

1) I feel bad when my friends are studying and I am not. that motivates me to study 2) I love challenging educated people, the only way to achieve that is to study 3) I love watching intelligent movies/series and when a character in the movie is damn intelligent, I aspire to be like that hence the motivation to study comes in (weird abi )4) when my friend calls me a scholar (which i am clearly not )i get motivated to study 5) when I am being a lazy bum and I update on BBM i am finding it difficult to study, I get pings on how hardworking I am and that in a way gives me the motivation to study because I know people believe in me 6) The fact I feel I am career oriented also motivates me to study P.S. No matter what, there are times when you don't feel like studying, don't push it because in many occassions you will achieve nothing from studying unwillingly, just relax and set a time for yourself to study and make sure you keep to it  1 Like |

The fear of failing should be a good motivation. It ensured I never had a carry over course while in delsu. Have a few nerdy friends that hardly discuss anything other than academic work. You will start reading if you want to be a participant in their discussion. |

Austinobisnr: help me tell am ooo... Great ife home of jackinchans Ever heard of FPA ekiti ? D path to class is always like a market during my time thr n u get to have names that r prefixed by "iwe" - book. I miss that period. @op, u dnt av to "read" too long to feel u r "studying" divide ur studies,one at a time n make sure u knw d little studied dan the much read. Another method dat worked for me,tink of ur folks,dat gurl u nid to impress (pun intended) ,dat goal u nid to achieve,dat person u want to be,den tink abt not making it come tru n u will grab u books fast. Gosh! I hate n can't even study for too long! N I dnt do music nor chew food/snack not even gum! While studying. Its total concentration. |

Like I did my parents were supportive though, u can never stay @ home nd read for exams lailai cos there are several distractions at home TV, families, domestics even bed etc. The best advise for you is to wake up early in d mornin do d little domestics u can do! Don't get urself tensed up! Den dash off to the nearest Library! I wish u success |
