Hi, nickeknew!

When I studied, I liked to vary things so that I wasn't spending the whole time studying. I would do some study for a certain amount of time and then something that I really liked to do, like play the piano, again, for a certain amount of time. Then, it would be back to studying. Maybe that sort of schedule might work for you?

That's what Sneezy does, and it must work because he is on his way to medical school.

I believe that Sneezy was talking about a change in the place where he studies and not so much in the schedule of study with alternating it with things that didn't involve study.

I know that he goes off to the gym to take a break from studying or goes to a coffee shop for a snack--doesn't take his homework with him but just gets away from it for a different scene.

I used to get nothing done if I went to the library, or anyplace quiet. The student union building or a coffee shop was perfect. All of my homework got done. Doing it in class worked too, noise! The noise had to be human, but not someone talking to me.

I had that problem when I was a kid I was diagnosed with adhd when was in 9th grade. Y

But you have to get tested for it so I can't say for sure if it turns out you have that though you don't always need medications. They have allot of good programs and there are even books written in a way that makes it easier for adhd people to focus on them. There might be things like that out now for homework or ways the teacher can arrange how its worded on the paper so it will be easier for you to stick to it and get it done.

I had a very good dr who diagnosed me. He had allot of good ideas to help me focus on my work he added things into my iep like I was allowed to listen to music while doing school work so I could tune out distractions as well as if there was a book report due and they wanted you to write it out I was allowed to use the computer or typewriter because it made it easier and I wouldn't have such a hard time focusing on my writing for me it was the pencil and paper that was hard I have awful and writing and it would take me a very long time to get going.

I was awful at basic math and algebra but very good at geometry.

So that's cool your doing algebra ^_^
