The measurement of study orientation skills is done by innovating a website based on a survey of study habits and attitudes questionnaire (SSHA); http://portal.ump.edu.my/survey.

The finding has shown that the study orientation skills (SOS) website was able to measure SOS effectively among the respondents . There is a significant difference in SOS and academic performance between pre-test and post test scores of the respondents.
