Q01

Q04
Q05 Q06 Q07 Q08 Q09

I set a positive mood for my studies, and schedule a productive time to study, find a less distracting space, etc. I vary my study activities to include not just reading, but also group discussions and hand-on work. I organize and centralize notes and assignments, both in a notebook and in a folder on my computer. Each week I dedicate a short time to review my notes and assignments, and evaluate my progress
Before each class or study session I review the assignments and my notes After each class lecture, as quickly as possible, I review and organize my notes After studying a unit, I transfer what I have learned into my own words and examples. I mark what I do not understand and seek alternatives (textbook, professor, classmates, etc.) to help. I separate out vocabulary and concepts that are new to me, define them on a note cards, and talk about them in study groups.

Q10

I reward myself for assignments well done.

How To Interpret Your Score

45 to 50 points: Your study habits reflect excellent strategies! If you grades dont reflect them, talk to your professor. 40 to 44 points: You study habits reflect excellent strategies. Did some questions make you pause? Consider improving you effectiveness: by reviewing one question. Work out from there. 35 to 39 points: You may have some good habits, but there is area for improvement. Select one particular question, and focus on improving that one: for example, time management and place. Build out from there. 30 to 34 points: There is lots of room for improvement. Even if your test scores are OK, its not likely that you are getting the most out of your study strategies. Select one particular question, and focus on improving that one: for example, time management and place, Build from there. Below 29 points: Look on the bright side: with a little professional help, you can make a big difference. Your academic assistance center or professor can help you start to become a better studier, and understand better. Good Luck!
