Concentration & Memory Problems

[CuteCornDog]

I would like to learn how to drive but I'm finding myself unable to focus on the driving book long enough.

I can only memorize short amount of times at a time.

I want to know the material. Not memorize answers to practice driving tests online.

 Driving books are redundant and overfilled with garbage, they could easily make it 1/3 of what it is now..at least in my country. 

Find someone on youtube who does free drive-guide videos, there's gotta be thousands of vids out there going through all the basics, signs, crossroads .... also I found quite helpful to do all the tests and redo them until you get 100% scores. You can also find those online. 

that being said, you may need to work on your concentration if you are about to become a driver or you'll end up dead or in jail if you fall asleep or enter the fairytale land during long driving journey.

Hey CuteCornDog
I dunno if your obstacle is concentration & memory or learning driving-related stuff.

If it's the first, then here is what worked for me : I have ADHD and filling the first page of a school registration form or playing 5 minutes of Lumosity would knock me out. So I undertook Cogmed, and it was brutal, so much that I had to split up my daily training session accross the day in 3 parts, each bout sprinkled with a few pauses.
By the end of the program I could one session in one go, and now I'm able to marathon through dozens of student tests for hours with minimal tiredness.

The exercices mainly involve remembering in reverse a pattern and that somehow boosts focus and attention. However, just like for everything, regular training is required to prevent skill decay.
