What are the origins of this fun-filled festive custom?
The most empathetic of the star signs, Cancers often find it helpful to connect with others on the topics they dislike the most. Find someone who is passionate about what they find difficult.
It's often said that studying in bed is not a good idea. Tauruses should rid themselves of that notion, however, since, for them, there is no better place.
Virgos are easily distracted, so solo study is best. Writing notes and rereading them multiple times is how a Virgo will bag those A grades.
Libra babies often struggle with procrastination, and they find it easy to get sidetracked. Finding a study method for Libra is all about staying focused.
Sagittarius joins Aries in the ranks of signs with short attention spans. Sags will never be able to force themselves to study if they're not in the mood.
Scorpios need to study in a place where they can really focus and study hard. After all, they don't do anything by halves!
One of the more creative signs, Leo has a tendency to focus on the big picture. Minor details are of little interest to this fiery and confident sign.
The last of the water signs, Pisces also work best on their own. Pisces people retain information best when they're in a calm and peaceful environment.
Just like Virgos, Caps work best when they have a study plan to stick to. Cramming the night before an exam is not the best idea for this sign.
Arguably the most sociable sign of the zodiac, a great way for Gemini to learn is to relate the material to other people. Pretend you're teaching the topic to someone else.
Often considered the most quirky of the star signs, Aquarius needs to find creative ways to study. Use your wild imagination and tread your own path.
The first sign and baby of the zodiac, Aries is endlessly passionate. Unfortunately, this star sign also has a short attention span at the best of times.
Most important for Virgo, however, is to stick to a routine. Make sure you carve out time to study, Virgo, or your non-study plans will also win your time.
The best place for you to study, Cancer, is none other than your own bedroom. There you can be sure you'll be alone, which will ensure you feel secure and safe.
Find a quiet area, Scorpio, switch of your phone, and have food and drink at the ready. Hunker down, be wary of procrastination, and don't leave things until the last minute.
Get yourself comfortable, Taurus, and make sure you have coffee by your side. It is best to avoid other distractions, including food, however.
Find a place where you won't be disturbed, and take to your study material alone, Pisces. Review your material over and over; that way you're more likely to recall it during the exam.
It's probably not worth taking time out of your day to study either, Aquarius. You'll only ever study when you're in the mood, so follow your gut feeling.
To that end, Libra, you might well find that studying in a group is more effective than studying on your own. That way, there is always someone there to guide you.
Write a plan and stick to it, Capricorn, and you'll get those grades you're after. Try and study on your own, too; study groups often make it hard for Caps to concentrate.

As a big picture thinker, Leo, you'll likely find auditory learning works best. Be sure to listen back to lectures and invest in audiobooks for those tricky topics.
Rote memorization also works well for you, Gemini, so don't shy away from those flashcards as your main mode of study. Asking a friend to quiz you can also help.
Try and find a way to relate your studies to your passions, Aries. Otherwise, you will likely find it difficult to focus on learning what you need to.
Break down your study material into small chunks, Sagittarius, so that it's easier for you to understand. Short sessions with regular breaks are the best way forward.
Bold, brash, and creative, the fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) often work best with unconventional study methods. Rote learning won't get these signs very far.
And, finally, the earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. These signs are rigorous and practical; they work best when there are no distractions and they have a plan to follow.
Highly sociable and intellectually curious, the air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) often study best when in the company of others. Study groups are often a good bet.
The most empathetic and sensitive signs of the zodiac, the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) work best in a calm environment where they can really focus.
