Everyone has an inherent desire to do well or rather excel in their studies. Students involved with studies as well as their parents, teachers, and other well-wishers will want a student to excel in studies. However, only a few students excel in their studies, whereas the majority perform average or even poor. Elders and peers can motivate a student and the teachers can teach the subject content. Still, the mechanics of "How to study" is the gap that most students cannot bridge. The students who understand the mechanics of how to study are the ones who constantly excel in their studies. This book will bring out the finer details about the mechanics of "How to Study".This book deals with the practical aspects that the student will encounter during studies. It provides a holistic approach right from the beginning when the student becomes aware of a forthcoming academic journey and provides guidance right until the final stages of final examinations. The major focus is on planning and preparations for various activities that the student will have to indulge in during his academic journey. Time management and the need for goal-oriented effort in every study session have been deliberated upon to utilize time and effort efficiently. This book advocates smart hard work using associative learning instead of rudimentary rote learning.This book will be immensely valuable for students with a basic developed understanding capability, i.e. the age group starting twelve years of age. It will serve well even the students enrolling for professional courses or even competitive examinations. The parents of young students who want their kids to excel in their studies will also be hugely benefitted from this book. Apart from them, the teachers at various academic institutions would also find this book insightful and quite helpful in training their students in the art of systematic learning methodologies. Educational establishments like schools and colleges, training establishments like coaching institutes and even specialization training establishments would also benefit from this book.
