There are many ways that students get themselves into trouble with studying ineffectively. Yet there are so many ways to learn better study skills which, when practiced regularly, will improve the quality of study time - and grades. This book, “Effective Study Skills and Techniques for High School and College Students”, may be just the book to help you.
The books chapters cover the following study tips: several chapters on note taking techniques, listening in class, paying attention to the reading assignments, setting up and sticking to a study schedule as well as how to study with only a limited amount of time, organizing the study materials, making use of text book questions, memorization, PQRST study method, the use of flashcards, summarization, mnemonics, making use of visual imagery, using outside resources, creating outlines, and how to get rid of distractions.
This is not a book that needs to be read from cover to cover, nor should it be. It works best if the student picks and chooses the techniques he or she needs the most help with, or that could help him or her the most. No should any student feel the need to use every technique or skill set in this book. Students may find that some skills or techniques work better for them than others. With this in mind, students should use the study skills that work best for them and set aside those that don’t work for them.
This book is available from Amazon in print format and in Kindle format both at a low price affordable to most students. Teachers may also want to keep a copy in their classroom for students to refer to whenever they need a bit of help with their studying.
