Introduction:
Learning how to study effectively and efficiently is one of the most difficult skills you will develop in high school. It takes a great deal of practice to become a solid studier and many students finish high school without realizing that their poor study habits are sabotaging their potential for academic growth and success. Often students don’t receive direct instruction about how to study and they come to think that studying is a haphazard and passive activity of rereading their notes and trying to memorize what they read. Many students never understand that studying is an active and focused process of interacting with their learning and applying it to their lives. By establishing poor study habits, many students limit the depth of their learning and this results in lower grades than they might otherwise earn.
