About this subject
Study skills are the methods behind learning everything else: how to plan your week, take notes worth rereading, prepare for a test and still remember what you studied a month later. Most students are never taught them directly. They copy what classmates do, reread their notes, highlight the textbook and hope it sticks, even though research on learning shows that these habits feel productive but do little for long-term memory. Learning how to learn pays off in every subject at once, and it is never too late to change the way you study.
The books here focus on what works better: testing yourself instead of rereading, spreading practice over several days instead of cramming, mixing different kinds of problems and explaining ideas in your own words. They are practical, and you can try something from them the same evening. A tutor can help you turn the ideas into a routine that fits your subjects and timetable, and keep you to it when exams get close.
