    I should have studied more. This is the correct sentence.

    The speaker is expressing a regret; now it is too late to change the result of a past action / decision. The speaker is referring to the past; he / she did not study enough, probably, for a test and he / she could not have passed the exam or could have got a low grade. Now, at the moment of the message, the speaker thinks that if he / she had studied more, he / she would have got a different result. Therefore, the speaker regrets, now, not having studied enough. This regret over his / her past actions is expressed with " should " + " perfect infinitive".

    - I should of study more. (This option is wrong. The prepositon " of" never follows a modal verb and the verb " study" is in the infinitive).

    I should have studied more is the correct sentence.

    Should have is a modal verb used to talk about something hypothetically, an action that didn't really happen. Should have + past participle expresses a regret; something that was supposed to happen, ot that should have happened, but didn't.

    "Should of" does not exist in correct English grammar.
