Data collection tool was a studying skills questionnaire, containing demographic characteristics and 15 questions in three grades Likert scale in sub-skills of ‘time management’, ‘concentration’, ‘note-taking in class’, ‘reading ability’ and ‘attend the test’. Data were analyzed, using SPSS 18 software and Pearson correlation coefficient, independent T, one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests.

The highest mean score belonged to the domain of note-taking (4.98±1.36), and the lowest belonged to the domain of time management (2.66±1.48). The superiority of girls’ scores than the boys’ in the sub- skills of note- taking (p=0.009) and reading ability (p=0.003) was significant. There was a relation between the total score of study skills and GPA of the students in the sub-skills of note- taking (p=0.006) and concentration (p=0.018). No significant relationship was observed between the total score of study skill with marital status and age of the students.
