Four Habits of Highly Effective Students
The key to becoming an effective student is learning how to study smarter, not harder. Most successful students achieve their success by developing and applying effective study habits. The following are the top four study habits used by highly successful students.
Don’t attempt to cram (塞满) all your studying into one study period.
Ever find yourself staying up late at night spending more energy trying to keep your eyes open than you are studying? 12 Successful students rarely try to complete all of their studying in just one or two study periods. You need to learn to have regular, yet shorter, study periods.

It’s important you create a daily study routine. When you study at the same time each day and each week, your studying will become a regular part of your life. If you have to change your schedule from time to time due to unexpected events, that’s okay. 14
Each study time should have a specific goal.
15 You need to know exactly what you need to achieve during each study period. Before you start studying, set a study period goal that supports your overall academic goal.
Never delay your planned study period.
It’s very easy, and common, to put off your study period for lack of interest in the subject, or just because the task is hard. 16 If you do, your studying will become much less effective and you may not get everything completed.
