Introduction: One of the factors affecting academic achievement is study skills therefore, we aimed at determining the relationship between study skills and students’ academic achievement in Golestan University of Medical Sciences. Methods: In a descriptive cross-sectional study, 292 students were recruited via census sampling in 2008-2009 academic year. The data were collected by using Congos´ Study Skills Inventory including six subscales. To analyze the data, we used ANOVA, Tukey post hoc and Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings: The mean scores of students’ study skills was 2.44±0.36 out of 4. There was a positive correlation between students’ Grade Point Average (GPA) and study skills (r=0.201 P=0.001). Study skills of students with GPA of more than 17 is significantly higher than those of others (F=7.936 p=0.001). Conclusion: Students with school records of ‘A’ have better study skills therefore, we recommend holding some workshops or classes to improve students' knowledge about study skills.
