If you find that you have little or no control over the items you marked false, continue your evaluation by asking why. Your physical study space may be in a fixed space or it may change.  For instance, at home you may always study in a particular room or go randomly from one room to another.  However, your study space might be away from home—at the library, in a study hall, or on the go—maybe in a car, bus, or subway.   If your study space is in your home, there may be some things you can do to improve that space. If it is away from home, you may have little control of the space. Whether at home or away, asking for help or suggestions from a parent, librarian or mentor may help you adapt your space or find a better one.

Remember that your physical environment can mean the difference between being drowsy or alert, able to focus or feeling uncomfortable and distracted. Be sure to think about the impact of your physical surroundings on your learning. If you have discovered changes that are within your power to make, you may be able to greatly improve one or more of your study places. If those changes are not things you can control, your best option may be to find a new study space.  Keep these ideas in mind as you continue your evaluation.
