If you do not study properly, you will not get maximum benefit from all your hard work.

The best study format is to study in blocks of 30 minutes. For the first 3-5 minutes, get into your Ideal Reading State as mentioned previously. For the next 20 minutes, get into the study state the way you deem best, and then the last 5 minutes to take a break. Always remember to use the 30 minute study blocks. The idea here is to study in blocks of 30 minutes which contains mental preparation and physical breaks.
