Re: listening to music while studying
I've also heard the study in a similar environment to the test idea. Also, one of my friends used to always studying listing to music, and found that during tests the lack of music effected him.

Re: listening to music while studying
1. The study in the same environment as you will take the test thing is true and I've read several studies on it. One example was studying while smelling chocolate, you do better when tested while smelling chocolate. Of course the cool one to freshman in college is that if you study drunk, you will do better taking the test drunk than sober. Awesome!
One reason law school pisses me off is that they split class in half for tests and put the beginning of the alphabet in the room the class is in. so the above comes into play. 2. I hate Good Charlotte. Alright, hate is a strong word, but I really don't like their music. That being said, whenever I need to study I put on a playlist of 90% good charlotte. for some reason, for me, its like the perfect background noise. I dont care enough about the songs to listen to them, but they fill the silence.

Re: listening to music while studying
I've always listened to music when I study or do homework, it helps me concentrate because otherwise I would get to easily distracted by what's around me. It really helps in college because there's rarely a quiet moment so I usually just turn whatever I'm listening to do up.
I do have one rule however about what I listen too... I have to know the song fairly well otherwise I get to distracted listening to the song itself.
