CONCLUSION
This program has discussed a variety of study skills that can be used from the first day of class to improve one's study skills. These strategies include:
Taking good notes;
Reviewing notes after each class;
Using SQ3R;
Getting control of your time;
Beginning to prepare for specific tests
a week in advance;
Incorporating self-testing into your
study schedule; and
Practicing good test taking strategies.
Developing good study skills requires hard work. It is often easiest to focus on building
skills in one area at a time. If you continue to have questions about strategies you
might use to improve you study skills, you may wish to review other Internet pages on our
web site related to specific study skills or call the Cook Counseling Center at Virginia Tech or
the counseling center or learning skills center on your campus to arrange an appointment
with a counselor.
