Abstract

    The study analyzed the relationship between students' study habits and academic achievement. The population was students of SSC level Rawalpindi. Sixty 9th graders were taken as a sample through purposive sampling technique. Study habits scale was a research tool developed by Ansari and Choudhary (1990), which comprised 30 items. Academic achievement was students' 8th class annual examination results. Students' academic achievement and score on study habits scale were correlated. The results showed that students' study habits scores had a positive correlation with their academic achievement.
