Study Skills Resources

It is important for young people to develop study skills. Study skills enable people to increase their knowledge and improve their life by gaining qualifications and experience.

What are Study Skills?

A young person’s career prospects can depend very much on their exam results. Many jobs require qualifications and it is necessary for students to be able to study successfully.

Good study habits do not come naturally, especially with all the distractions young people are bombarded with.

Homework

It is essential that a good study routine is maintained for completing homework. The lives of young people are filled with things to do and time can be hard to manage effectively when it comes to studying.

Developing a timetable that is adhered to is beneficial. Consistency makes homework an easier task to accomplish and an ongoing homework routine will become second nature.

Breaks and Revision

Taking regular breaks for short periods is important. It is recommended to break for about five minutes every 1–2 hours and briefly revise the last study period before continuing. This technique really helps to retain knowledge and improve understanding of a subject.

Study Environment

Having the right workspace is a necessary consideration for study time. A desk away from distractions with enough space for a computer, books and stationery will aid productivity.
