[b]Study period lengths[/b]

The best way to study is to focus for between 40 and 90 minutes, then take a 10 minute break where you do some kind of exercise. Regular exercise really helps with your concentration when studying.

Don’t make your breaks too long. 40 minutes of studying and then a half hour break is not effective because you then get totally out of the flow. Of course you will need a longer break once or twice per day for lunch and dinner, but your other breaks should be much shorter.
