Same.. Although since I listen to music while doing maffs, it makes studying for other subjects really boring :/
Really? I do Business Studies with music and it seems fine.

Have you tried using music in your other subjects or are you assuming it won't work?
Um i'm assuming it won't work because my study is based on reading and comprehending. Although, I might try to do this with less eccentric music

Give it a go, you might be surprised. Having said that, if some material is really dry and hard to get, I might turn the music off for a bit to really understand it.

I understand most of the content, it's just the reason why I lack studying for my other subs apart from maffs is the lack of music and the silence. God, it's so boring.. Yeah i'll give it a go.

personally, I find listening to classical music helps me to relax, clear my mind and therefore allowing me to focus while studying.

I only listen to instrumentals when studying because songs with lyrics distract me

I can't listen to music that i've heard before while studying otherwise I end up singing in my head and just end up reading but not absorbing

So i listen to baroque music (music from 1600-1750 :wink: ) that i've never heard before

It is ultimately up to you. You cannot follow what others do here. Do what you believe is right and stick to it.

I find it impossible to listen to music while doing my homework, assignments or study :(

like many of the bosers have said, depends on the individual however, personally, music is fine when i'm studying and actually is something that keeps me motivated for longer amounts of study time. despite this, i don't listen to music whilst studying when exams are looming..

Although I would like to, if I play music, I find it harder to hear myself think and so little information is absorbed.
