Study Skills: Study Skills

Study skills may seem like a concept that you do not really need to know that much about, but in reality it can provide a valuable skill set that can make your learning experiences easier!

There is a huge difference between studying in high skills versus studying in college. Often college courses, assignments and exams are far more rigorous than the high school counterpart. So much more is expected of you in college than in high school and more often than not, you will need to figure out a new approach that works best for you. What worked in high school, may not work for you in college.
