I'm in a position whereby I may need to study again for some professional qualifications. I left uni circa 15 years ago and don't have fond memories of trying to study there or indeed at school.

Does anyone have any tips/advice or a steer towards some good resources regarding effective study methods when you don't have a particularly long attention span?

As an aside, have you ever been tested for dyslexia? Short attention span and short term memory can be a symptom as I understand it.

Can you look into game based learning methods if there are any available for the subject matter?
