Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

Developing good study habits is essential for academic success. Effective study habits not only help you absorb information more efficiently but also make the learning process more enjoyable and less stressful. To create good study habits, it's important to start with organization and planning.

The first step is creating a study schedule. Setting aside specific times each day for studying ensures that you stay on track and avoid last-minute cramming. It's essential to give priority to tasks based on their difficulty or deadlines. By following a schedule, you create a routine, which helps your brain associate study time with productivity.

Another key element is a distraction-free environment. Find a quiet place where you can focus without interruptions. Keeping all necessary materials within easy access is also important, so you don't waste time looking for books or notes. A clean, organized study space helps to maintain concentration and encourages a positive mindset.

Lastly, taking breaks is equally important. While it may seem counterintuitive, giving yourself time to relax can actually help you retain information better. Breaks allow your mind to rest and recharge, so you can return to your studies with renewed energy.

By developing a study schedule, eliminating distractions, taking breaks, and regularly assessing your progress, you can build habits that lead to academic success. When these habits become second nature, you'll find that studying becomes less overwhelming and more rewarding.
