Study habits are at the core of a learner's academic success. It is an action like reading, taking notes,
conducting study groups that students perform frequently, and regularly accomplishing the learning
goals. It can be defined as effective or counterproductive based on whether it serves the students well.
Thus, the study's primary purpose was to determine the relationship between study habits and the
students' academic performance. The descriptive-correlation design was utilized to describe the
respondents' profile regarding their study habits and academic performance. A total of one hundred
twenty-six (126) Grade 11 senior high school learners participated in this study. Moreover, the main
research instrument utilized in the study was the Palsane and Sharma Study Habit Inventory. Its eight
sub-scales are budgeting time, physical condition, reading ability, note-taking, learning motivation,
memory, taking examinations, and health. The findings showed that the respondents' study habits are
at a relatively average level. The result revealed no significant relationship between study habits and
academic performance. Also, the results showed that the study habits of the students are at a relatively
average level. Additionally, enhancing students' study habits are relevant, especially in note-taking,
