If you don’t have homework you have nothing to study. This is incorrect , even when you have no assignments; you should revise work each day and read ahead and around the topic to prepare for the next topic.
Spending time at your desk in front of your books is study . No, not if you are only making lists, shuffling papers, sharpening pencils, gazing into space or otherwise getting ready.
You can study quite well in bed . This is not true. Your body is too relaxed to absorb anything well.
Everyone studies in the same way . Not true. Everyone has a different learning style. Find yours and use it! Some like to see things, others to hear, others to draw etc.
The best way to study is to write out notes or highlight important sections . This is a very inefficient way of studying. Success comes from comprehension, not memorisation . You have to understand ideas. This means building something new in your brain. The way to find out if you can "construct" an idea is to re-create it in a different form, by explaining it aloud.
It’s better to study for long hours.No, it’s more efficient if you study for about 50 minutes, and then take a break for 5-10 minutes. If you’re spending too many hours studying, you probably need help to be more efficient.
Listening to music is good to help you study . This is not true for most people as they become distracted by a good tune or are unable to concentrate when the music is loud or discordant. Listening to Baroque music like Mozart often does improve learning.
Teachers know when you don’t understand something . No, they do not if you don’t tell them! Teacher s can make ideas clearer, explain things in a different way, or help you with further suggestions IF YOU ASK.
You can prepare quite well for tests and exams by staying up to study the night before . This is a very bad practice. You will not have time to develop a clear understanding so very little of what you learn will be retained or really understood. Also you will be tired and not at your best for your test.
Being positive improves study outcomes. True! Say to yourself "I can remember this" and you will do much better
