Most people think of study skills as something students use when studying for a test. But that is only half right: these key skills are for so much more than just tests! When used regularly, these techniques can help students learn and retain information better so that writing tests becomes less stressful.
BEAT TEST STRESS
Tests are a major part of school but can also be a significant source of stress. Solid study skills help students manage that stress. But, study skills are often not taught in school, which is why students find preparing for tests so challenging. Students either figure out ways to study on their own or turn to experts for help.
Having reliable study skills is essential to help students get organized, stay focused, retain information correctly, and beat procrastination.
MAKE LEARNING SIMPLER WITH STUDY SKILLS
Study skills—the techniques students use in class, when doing homework, or preparing for a test—help make learning and remembering information easier.
Using these skills becomes simpler and more natural with practice: the more students develop them, the easier learning becomes. In fact, practising daily can help students boost memory skills, reduce test stress, and feel motivated and confident. But best of all, when used regularly, they can help students become more organized in all areas of their education.
