It is ironic that students are almost never taught how to study effectively in school. Unfortunately, "learning how to learn" is not a common practice, so here are some tips!

The good news is that there are some very simple and easy-to-learn techniques that can dramatically improve the quality of your learning experience.

Effective studying begins with the proper mindset and attitude.  Study strategies should be thought of as a process – a series of steps – rather than as simple memorisation techniques or quick fixes like cramming for a test or having an all-night study session.

Good study habits include many different skills: time management, self-discipline, concentration, memorization, organization, and effort.  In addition, most effective study skills include the use of several different learning methods including visual (picture), auditory (hearing), reading/writing, and kinesthetic (doing).

There are many different styles of learning, but regardless of which style of learner you are, there are certain fundamental study skills that will help you improve your performance. These include:

  • Goal Setting
  • Time Management and Organization
  • Note Taking
  • Reading Comprehension
  • Test Preparation and Test Taking Strategies
  • Critical Thinking and Problem Solving

There are as many different ways to study as there are students.  In fact, students with good study skills may not even realize that they have them.  Think of study skills as a set of tools that you will use throughout your academic career.  Some students may choose to use only some of the tools and others may develop their own ways of studying.  The important part is to find out what works best for you!
