Studying is important because it is essential for a person to develop a complete education and

provides students with the opportunity to develop study habits, time management skills and
self-discipline. Studying also aids in the student's ability to learn providing the student with
knowledge that they can use throughout their life regardless of the career path that they
choose.

Homework is a form of studying that helps students learn. There are typically three types of
homework that require studying by students. The first is practice homework that allows the
student to review what was taught in class. This helps to increase the student's ability to
comprehend the material. The second is preparation homework, which helps a student prepare
for an in-class assignment or activity. This type of homework is generally research-based or in
the form of a brainstorming exercise. The third is extension homework, which is typically a paper
or a project and is a long-term assignment. These require the most independent work outside of
the classroom.

Studying also takes place in the studying for tests or final exams. Students must study in order to
learn the material and pass the exam. Studies have shown that the two best forms of studying
are practice testing and studying evenly over the course of a semester or nine weeks.
