Is it important for you to learn about study strategies?
Anyone can study. Most people have successfully negotiated school without ever reading a book on study strategies. Students have normally picked up a lot of useful study skills on their own. You already know much about how to study effectively.
So why will this book be useful to you?
There is no substitute for hard work and dedicated learning to achieve success in your studies. However, there are some smart study strategies which may ease the path to success. These are described in this book. If you apply these strategies to your learning process consistently, you will make rapid progress in your studies.
Students with good study strategies learn more efficiently. They are better organized and better prepared to face assessments. Their study becomes a planned effort rather than a random and panic-stricken endeavor.
Smart study strategies also comprise study skills which are useful in the work environment, where the skills of disciplined work, good time management, positive collaboration, effective communication and presentation are valuable skills.
Good study strategies can be acquired by constant practice. Initially, you should start by analyzing your current study habits. You need to identify your strong points and those areas
