The measurement of study orientation skills is done by innovating a website based on a survey of study habits and attitudes questionnaire (SSHA).

The research uses Quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test by comparing both group samples. The finding has shown that the study orientation skills (SOS) website was able to measure SOS effectively among the respondents in the two groups.There is a significant difference in SOS and academic performance between pre-test and post test scores of the respondents.
