Study Skills Printables: 10 Free Worksheets

Ten free, printable study skills worksheets for middle school, high school and college students: a study skills self-check, a weekly time tracker, SQ3R, Cornell notes, WOOP and exam prep sheets.

What’s included (13 pages, PDF):

1. Study Skills Self-Check (24 statements with a scoring key that points students to the skills they most need)
2. Where Does the Time Go? A weekly time budget worksheet plus a 168-hour log
3. Weekly Study Planner (7 a.m. to midnight, with space for priorities, due dates and tests)
4. Term Planner: 16 weeks of due dates and exams on one page
5. Ten Ways to Get Started: procrastination strategies with a box to plan the first step
6. WOOP Plan (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan, credited to Gabriele Oettingen) with an if-then line
7. SQ3R Reading Sheet (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) for one chapter
8. Cornell Notes Template plus a one-page lecture listening checklist
9. Exam Checklist: before, during and after a test
10. Study Space Check: rate a place you study and plan one change

The single sheets are included as separate files, and the print pack has all of them in one PDF.

How to use it: Start with the self-check, then pick the one or two sheets that match the lowest scores. Each sheet stands on its own, so it works as a tutor-time activity, a study skills lesson, a learning support handout or an exam-season pack. Research claims on the sheets (for example Dunlosky et al., 2013, on which study techniques hold up) are cited on the sheet itself.
