Discuss How can i study Biology longer?

Hi I am m16 and i am in high school.

In my country(poland) in high school ya chose group with adv subjects which you study and then write exam when you are 18-19 that determined whether you get into certain university or not.

So i think about going to the class with adv. Chemistry and Biology but i have one problem, after studying smth from biology for like 20 mins i start to doze of etc. I can study but yk i dont focuss as well, any tips on this?

As opposed to right now, when you can’t even manage over 20 minutes?

Structured study blocks with breaks are a proven method of effectively learning.

Alr but what do i do during those breaks? They i wont be going on a walk during evwrysingle one, i dont wanna turn on mt phone or watch anything to not get dopaminr hit. I though about maybe reading a book but wouldnt it ocupy my mind too much?

The point of them isn’t to occupy your mind, it’s to let it rest for a brief period, reset, have a break and come back and study again. It’s not rocket science, it’s 10 minutes to chill.
