study skills
Academic success methods
Study skills are techniques and strategies for learning effectively—note-taking, time management, active reading, memorization methods, and test preparation.
The term appears most often in educational contexts, where students are taught to improve their study skills or take courses in study skills development.
Good study skills emphasize not just effort but efficient methods: knowing how to organize material, when to review, and how to retain information.
