Different students have different and unique study habits. What may be a
good study habit to a particular student may be a bad one indeed to another
student. As such, it is often difficulty to pin-point this is good and that is bad. In
the opinion of Katelyn (2013), there is no doubt that different people study in
different ways and it is a near certainly that what works for one person may not
work for another. John (2010) opines that not all students are alike.
In other words, study habits include behaviors and skills that can increase
motivation and convert the study into an effective progress with high returns,
which ultimately increases the learning. This skills is also defined as any activity

effectively, one must read, draw, compare, memorize and test himself over time.
The more appropriate question is that how students should study more

time to socialize and time to just be alone. The critical issue is recognition that

Ashish (2013) opines that if the students must ensure academic success
throughout the entire year, it is important to ditch bad study habits and establish
good ones. He further maintains that no matter what age or academic level,
employing effective study strategies can make all the difference between acing a
class, barely passing or worse failing miserably. He admits that many of today’s
most common study habits or methods can lead to utter disappointment despite

STUDY HABITS
From the article titled, “Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits”,
Benedict Carey (September 6, 2013), the concept of study habits focuses on the

No one knows for sure why. It may be the brain, when revisits material at
a later time, has to relearn some of what it has absorbed before adding new
stuff−and that process is itself self-reinforcing. “The idea is that forgetting is the

reason the thought of testing tighten people’s stomachs is that tests are so often
hard.
Paradoxically, it is just this difficulty that makes them such effective study

in daily life.
