Chapter 6 Study Tools
Chapter Summary:
Your toolbox
Hand tools
Power tools
We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire…Give us the tools
and we will finish the job.
Sir Winston Churchill
Study tools are tools that can be used to improve the student’s
proficiency during studying. There are three types of tools described
with in this chapter; application of physical tools (hand tools), memory
tools (power tools) and general use tools (personal tools).

the consolidation of information or improving memory retention.
Not unlike the tools used by tradesmen, the student will find that study
tools will become more helpful and useful with continued use. These
same tools aren’t restricted to just the area of study, but can also be
used in everyday life.
Read through this chapter and take careful note of the tools
described and join the thousands of other students that are also
effectively using these same tools.

it. These tools will last you a lifetime. However, if do not use them, they
may seem dull, ineffective, and you may be inclined to exclude them
from your toolbox. It is up to you to keep your tools sharp by constantly
