Recognizing these Skills also helps students to achieve success by determining their strengths and weaknesses in studying. The students’ study methods have an absolute effect on their learning and therefore on their cognitive skills and finally on their future job. Being unaware of correct study methods can lead to students’ confusion and waste their time and energy.
