The term study ability refers to a student's capacity to study, which consists of many different components. Personal resources, study skills, teaching, guidance, and support from the learning environment significantly affect one's ability to study. Personal strengths in one or more areas can help maintain ability to study even when there are challenges in another area. (Read more about ability to study and how to maintain it here.)
