Introduction
“No thief, however skilful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why
knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.” L. Frank Baum. As time
passed, drastic changes had been done in the structure of the country's education
system. This proves how people value knowledge and how education is a primary
concern. One way to acquire knowledge is to devote time and attention to study or
learn a given subject. From merely learning how to read and write to acquiring
knowledge about the composition of the Earth, it continues to develop and intensify
through time.

The researchers noticed that each of the students have a different process to
undergo through when studying in order to store information effectively or else, the

could possibly help a student on a daily basis. Contrariwise, there are few studies

hypothesis that a student’s study technique will affect his/her performance during
academic performance.
Providing the fact that students review more intensively for quarterly
assessment, especially the top students, the researchers aim to find the most
plausible and evidence-based study technique of the top students and utilize it to
help the students who are struggling to study effectively improve their examination
essential to raise awareness upon students about the value of practicing the right
student’s everyday life. Having good study habits are also a factor to lead to the
highway of being able to achieve the goals of a student and generally, of a young
adult’s, as well. Lastly, the results of this study can serve as an avenue to
recommend a study technique suitable for the Junior High School students which
can also contribute to the present knowledge and understanding of the teachers,
parents, administrators of the school and the community on the study techniques
of these students.

Lots of people usually say that the ideal duration to study for an exam is a
week or 2 weeks before an exam. The amount of time you should be spending to
review for an exam will differ based on what exam you’re having, your style of
studying and how competent you are at the subject tested on the exam. (Ong,

Most students tend to find it easy to get distracted and to procrastinate when they
