It has been claimed that everyone has a different "learning style". But everyone surely has a different "studying style". More importantly, the way that you are studying right now might not be the best for you: How would you know? One important clarification before we begin: "Studying" is not the same thing as "doing homework"! Studying may include doing homework, but it is also a lot more, as you will see.
