Study skills are strategies and methods of purposeful learning, usually centered around reading and writing. Effective study skills are considered essential for students to acquire good grades in school, and are useful in general to improve learning throughout one's life, in support of career and other interests.
In the United Kingdom, studying a subject at university may sometimes be referred to as reading that subject. For example, "I am reading Physics at Oxford".
Some key study skills include:
* Removing distractions and improving concentration
* Maintaining a balance between homework and other activities
* Reducing stress, such as that caused by test anxiety
* Strategies for writing essays
* Speed reading
* Notetaking
* Subject-specific study strategies
* Preparing for exams
