Monetary Incentives never worked for me. I just couldn't "keep my eyes on the prize" so to speak. It was one thing for my dad to tell me i would get 20$ for honors in a class and another completely sitting in math staring at the chalkboard waiting to die.
I believe that if you are going to provide an incentive (monetary or otherwise) you need to start with immediate gratification- say if you study for a full hour one night you'll get a buck or something, then move to longer term goals. I personally could not stay on target, and as i lost sight of my goal, my grades slipped.
