Listening to music whilst revising, good idea?
Watch
Just a general question if you listen to music whilst revising and is it a good idea listening to like your favourite tunes whilst revising or will that serve as a distraction? and will classical music help at all?

I like to. But only albums I know off by heart, and that flow over you, if that makes sense. Dark Side of the Moon is one of my favourites for that.

If I listen to new albums while I revise I only half concentrate on any work I do, I'm too busy listening out for lyrics and stuff.
I find it easier if I have classical music playing in the background though.

If I'm doing something that doesn't require much thought, I'll listen to stuff I like and know really well.
If I'm reading, or doing an essay, I'll put on classical music, cause it helps me to tune out other noises

I don't really listen to music while I study - sometimes I listen to Radio4... but I've found, suprisingly, I can concentrate pretty well with a film playing in the background. (I tried this out accidently last night while listening to Indiana Jones...) and it was pretty good!

Anything that requires concentration I do without music/tv. I can usually do my assessments in front of the TV, since they don't take much effort.

Something light and doesn't require much attention to listen to is great.
Sometimes I listen to Mozart piano sonata's whilst I'm revising ( I know, I know, sounds gay) But it's really relaxing, and it's been scientifically proven that the Mozart effect can improve concentration!!!

bad idea, when you try to remember something you revised during and exam you will just hear the song you were listening to at the time

I have music playing in the background. Just my mp3 player on shuffle so I get a mix.
Sometimes I have stuff on the TV but only if i've seen it many times before and don't have to concentrate to understand it.

My biology book, chapter 'The brain' says that the brain can't multitask that's listen to the music and interpret what it says and at the same time concentrate on revision.
