ABSTRACT

For any learning to be effective it needs to be relevant to an individual, because one person's method of study will not necessarily work for another. For instance, some people prefer to study with music blaring out in the background, while others need peace and quiet so that they can focus on their reading or a particular activity. It is equally important to find out if any specific equipment is required for a particular exam, such as a programmable calculator. Planning study skills session is even more important when there are other challenges to overcome. For instance, some people hold down part-time or even full-time jobs. From a physical point of view, some people think better after exercising, as an active body leads to an active mind. It is believed that it is far better for the average person to study over a lot of small periods rather than one long period.
