You'll get to try on different learning styles and decide which one suits you best. Instead of finding the best fit for a new pair of sneakers, you'll be looking for the way of studying that's the most natural to you. Just as you feel most comfortable in the pair of shoes that conforms best to your foot, you'll feel the most comfortable studying for tests if you find the way of learning that conforms to the way your mind works. The idea behind shopping for a learning style is that you can bring a lot of yourself to the process of studying for and taking tests. Throughout this book, you will find strategies that work for you. You can pick and choose the tips that you think will work, and you don't have to try those you think aren't right for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake sense of your senses: Understanding how you primarily take in information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first step in customizing the way you learn is to understand how you take in information. People vary in which sense they prioritize when absorbing new material. Some people remember information best when they see it. These types of learners are visual in nature. Other people are auditory learners who tend to recall information that they hear — these are the types of students who often compose songs to study for tests. Finally, there are students who are kinesthetic and have to use their bodies to act out information. They remember best what they do — not what they see or hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe of course use all our senses all the time, but we may favor one over the other. To understand which type of learner you are, start by taking this short test. Don't worry — this is the fun sort of test that tells you more about yourself (and what could be more interesting?). After the test, you'll learn how to use your primary sense to make studying more interesting and to recall the information with greater ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSHOP FOR YOUR STYLE:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAre you an auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learner?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace a check mark next to the statements that describe you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuditory learners:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e____I remember words when they are put to a beat or to music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e____I remember material that I hear presented aloud without taking any notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e____I prefer spoken directions over written directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e__I don't often understand diagrams or graphs without an explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e____I like to talk through problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisual Learners:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e____I prefer written directions rather than oral\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e      ","brand":"Blythe Grossberg PsyD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46070273016042,"sku":"9781886941724","price":21.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/718dAM9YmlL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781254228","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/test-success-test-taking-and-study-strategies-for-all-students-including-those-with-add-and-ld","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
