Anybody can explain how we can score A in bio?other than read the book..?
I had the same problem a long time ago, I had problems concentrating when needed to do task for a prolonged period of time. This problem I had for more then 10 years, hear is how I solved it.





When summer break came about, I decided I would take studying seriously next year. I took my bio and chem books and took it section at a time, I read the section three times once to get an idea, second time around I underlined key points and third time I took a pencil and paper and made point, drew diagrams of process and pictures, etc.to help me. Try to do this for an hour, and see how much you get done, you will be surprised. Do not over force your-self. Then after the hour was up, I got up, closed the book, pretended I am with a friend out for dinner who doesn't have a clue about biology and tried to explain everything to them, clarifying concepts. Finally compare what you learned to your class notes and add in anything that the book may have missed, this will be an easy task because you already understand the concept and main points, but do this ONLY after you have the concept mastered. Then go for a break. Then when you go to bed at night, when you close your eyes, try to picture the concepts happening, for instance, imagine how RNA polymerase binds to the DNA transcribes the mRNA, which is exported from the nucleus to the ribosome and how the protein is synthesized and you can go on and on until you fall a sleep eventually, when you fell board, you can do the same thing. It is actually quit fun, try see how it works.

Reply:The inability to face a book for more than an hour is a symptom of gaming or a *lot* of TV watching. They're fun ... but they really burn out the attention span of the human brain.





Here's a technique that worked for me in college:





Form a study group. Include a cute girl (or guy if appropriate) ... whether she (or he) is the hottie of the class doesn't matter, as long as they're smart ... but not a lot smarter than you. The point is to include someone you kinda want to impress. That adds incentive for you not to look like a dumass.





Picking the right group is key. Include other people in the group who are smart ... but not too smart (or your cutie will be impressed with them, not you). You want people who are struggling a bit as well ... just enough that they all see advantage for making the group work. Don't include your goof-off Xbox buddies, or the class jokester. You need a group you can keep on track.





If you pick the right group, the rest will take care of itself. You'll find yourself preparing for the group session (because you want to impress the cutie), and everyone will benefit from it. At the meeting, keep things on track ... don't let it digress from the goal (e.g. the upcoming test).





The bonus is that you will look like the hero, the leader. You will also make some new friends (including the cutie, if you're lucky).





This is called using social pressures to work for you.
Reply:You're looking for a shortcut to success. There aren't any.





Put down the XBox and study. There is no substitute except native talent.
Reply:Then read the book one hour at a time. How can you be familiar enough with the material to earn an "A" unless you read the entire book? Set yourself a schedule to read the book two hours (or whatever it takes to get the job done) a day. For instance, say to yourself, "I'll read from ten am to 11 am. Then I'll read from four pm to five pm." This way you read the whole book but not exasperate yourself over it. Best of luck. And read the book yourself!
Reply:Well, $50,000 in unmarked bills might do it.





Give yourself a schedule with no more than 45 minutes of the book at a time. When you've truly concentrated for the whole 45 minutes, you get a small reward--candy, 15 minutes online, something like that. Then back to the book.





Study with a partner (the "we" in your question). Read a segment aloud, taking turns. Stop one another any time you're not clear on something, or not absorbing but just reading like drones.





Make an outline of a chapter and study that, not the book. If you and your partner each outline chapters, do alternate ones and swap copies so you both have outlines of every chapter. This assumes you can trust one another to do a good job.
Reply:Well, you can always go out and experience bio first hand. Take what you're studying and either put it into practice or go somewhere where you know you be able to see it first hand
Reply:If you go to class and learn everything covered in the lecture. Take complete notes, video tape or make an audio recording during class, and discuss what the other students have studied for the test. Maybe that might work, however, all success requires work, and a successful grade (A) will require effort. knew a guy that would break into his profs. office the night before the exam and try to find the test, that guy was crazy, but he turned out to be a well paid businessman.
