Study Skills

In school you are expected to learn a lot of stuff in half-a-dozen or more subjects. In life in general, an awful lot more.

But how much have you learnt about “how to learn”?

How good are your “study skills”?

Could you achieve greater success in your studies and life with less stress and effort by using a more effective and efficient approach to learning?
