Through study you discover new and important information. You also learn how new knowledge adds to what you already know.
Studying helps you remember. For most of us, our memory needs constant review to retain what's there. On average 50% of what we learn is forgotten within 20 minutes. The next 25% is forgotten within 24 hours. The next 13% is forgotten within one week. And most of what little remains is forgotten within a month.
Effective study has many benefits:
You can improve your memory, your knowledge, and your grades.
You can spend your time more productively and efficiently.
You can increase your success in school and future endeavors.
You can feel positive about yourself and your abilities.
You can improve your attitude towards school and life.
